So it was happening on a large scale before and no-one was bothered by it?

The media that constructs popular narratives is certainly not bothered by things Democrats do.

Fox News is constantly bothered by Dems.

If this were going on under Obama, I'm about 150% sure that they would have been decrying his lack of 'family values' and making all the stink they could. Since that didn't happen, we're left with the options that either the family separations didn't happen under Obama but are happening now, or that they aren't happening now either and are just something made up by the non-Fox news people.

wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong and also not correct.

For christ's sake man....in order to criticize Trump...the pulled out photos from border facilities taken in 2014. HUH?????

And please stop making it sound like things are barbaric down at the border. They aren't. You make it sound like it's Poland in the 1940's down there. There's a 'zero-tolerance' policy, and no one ever said it was going to be all sunshine and rainbows. No one is getting beaten. No one is getting tortured. No one is being forced to carry bags of wet salt in the hot desert sun. Families are getting separated because the parents are being charged with a crime. That's what would happen to your family, if you committed a crime.

If you're worried about your family being separated, the solution is simple. Don't commit crimes.

Seriously, it's that simple. Just play by the rules, and no one will bother you.

Take your libtard-demagogue hat off for a minute and think critically now. What would happen if we gave these people a pass, enforced no consequences, and sent them on their merry way all in the name of family unity? Seriously think about the answer to that.

You would be sending a message that says crossing illegally into America is risk-free as long as you bring kids. That means that families who are caught can just keep trying until they succeed at entering the country. It means that immigrants are incentive-ized to bring children on a life-threatening hike through the desert. It means that the cartels and the human traffickers now have the means and motive to further exploit children.

It means that we weren't really enforcing the border at all.

And I clearly remember Fox News bitching about that.
