There He Goes Again: Biden Claims He and Obama Didn't 'Lock People Up in Cages' (Yes, They Did)
PJ Media ^ | 09/13/2019 | Matt Margolis

During the Democrat debate Thursday night, Jorge Ramos challenged Joe Biden on his immigration record, particularly his past support for a border wall, and the Obama-Biden administration's record on deportations. "Why should Latinos trust you?" Ramos asked.

"What Latinos should look at is ... comparing [Trump] to [Obama] is outrageous," Biden said. "Number one, we didn't lock up people up in cages, we didn't separate families... we didn't do all of those things."

Umm, Joe... yes, you did.

Back in June, Barack Obama’s former ICE chief, Thomas Homan, acknowledged at a conference hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies, that the “cages” Democrats are blaming on Trump were the product of the Obama administration. “I’ve been to that facility, where they talk about cages. That facility was built under President Obama under (Homeland Security) Secretary Jeh Johnson. I was there because I was there when it was built,” Homan said.

Even the left-wing fact-checking site Snopes admitted that the Obama administration built these cages. "Images of children behind chain-link fencing were widely seen at a site in McAllen, Texas, that had been converted from a warehouse to an immigrant-detention facility in 2014," they wrote. "Social media users who defended Trump’s immigration policies also shared a 2014 image of Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson touring a facility in Nogales, Arizona, in 2014, in which the fencing could be seen surrounding migrants there, too."

Here is one of those images with Jeh Johnson, Obama's DHS secretary, touring one of those facilities, where you can plainly see, children, separated from their families, sleeping on the ground.

Biden or any other leftist can blandly lie to our faces and never be called on it by anyone in the nedia or among their supporters. They don’t have a clue to what it is like to have an adverserial press. They can destroy entire cities culturally economically and physically and never get tagged with it. This is OUR problem NOT theirs...

No, no, no, the author of this piece is missing Joe's point. He & Obama didn't lock up illegal immigrants, they had U.S. Customs and Border Protection do it for them.

Now do you understand? /sarcasm
