White House faces growing outcry over migrant family policies
The Hill ^ | 06/17/18 | Brett Samuels

The White House appears poised for a fight over its policy of separating migrant families who cross the border illegally, even as a growing number of lawmakers are voicing concerns about the practice.

Democrats and some Republicans have in recent days visited facilities used to house separated family members, leading to new questions about the process and growing calls for the so-called "zero tolerance" policy to end.

GOP Sens. Jeff Flake (Ariz.) and Susan Collins (Maine) wrote to the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services on Saturday asking for clarity on the administration's practice of separating migrant families.

The letter cites multiple instances where families seeking asylum were separated, despite the administration's assurances that wasn't the case. The senators asked for details on when children are separated from their parents, what the purpose of doing so is, and how many children have been separated during the asylum claim process.

"It is critical that Congress fully understands how our nation’s laws are being implemented on the ground, especially when the well-being of young children is at stake," the senators wrote.

If they don’t like the law the way it is written, perhaps they should change it instead of just bitching about it. As it stands, they basically are pillorying Trump for following the law!

From the Democrats. Most Americans are with Trump on this issue.

Well, gee, a wall would have been swell, but I suppose amnesty will be just as effective.

Tis is really a non issue. This practice was done under Barack Obama and for some reason that made it okay but now it is a crime against humanity because Trump is President? Sorry political hacks and lap dog media we are not going to allow you to have it both ways anymore!

I don’t know anyone who cares about this issue as a priority.

Manufactured RAT and MSM crapola. Where’s their outrage over all the thousands murdered in Detroit and Chicago? Where’s their outrage over the FBI, DOJ, State Department corruption and their collusion to overturn an American election, Benghazi, IRS scandal, Fast and Furious Uranium One, child trafficking, RAT voter fraud, Clinton Foundation corruption, MS13 murder and torture, illegal drugs, and the rest of the Swamp scandals?

Illegals at the border is a RAT, MSM, and RINO issue, really? Pure BS!

It can be tricky because Democrats have the media to inundate voters with their 'narrative'.

Republicans can stress this is about following the law but Democrats (and the media) will use it to vilify Republicans as heartless.

Ever notice these articles always start like this? Never Republicans and some Democrats

Never a Democrats problem... always a Republican bending to the Democrats' solution.

Good thing Trump doesn't have a "inferiority complex."

This is the latest generated crisis of the Democrat Media Axis.

They continuously manufacture something and propagate it in the media and social media etc...

Always based on distortion and lies. In thus case they began the emotional campaign by sending out photos if kids sleeping in “cages”, attributed to new Trump policies and condemned rump as barbaric.

The photos were of course from 2014 when Obama was President.

Not really. Trump needs to show the pictures from 2014 of ALL the kids wrapped in tin foil in cyclone fencing under Obama.

Obama that is. Then challenge the media/Democrats on their current interest in the issue.

Sarah Sanders should bring poster boards to press conference on Monday and take the press to task.

Put these kids in jail with their parents? (now who’s inhumane?)

Give them an option. Seperate or go home? Who's inhumane now?

It looks like Democrats believe they have their midterm issue.

I hope they think this is it. I want to here their answer to why they did not care this was done under the Obama Administration but now really, really, care about it under the Trump Administration! Just more evidence that they are little more then buffoons!

“What a load of pious crap. Where were they when the Obama regime was caging them like chickens?”

Talking points about Stormy have been tossed aside; new ones are in place.

Media-generated outrage du jour.

A number of prominent liberals — even an ex-Obama admin — are running wild---waving photos of children in cages
The wild-eyed liberals wrongfully concluded the cages were Trump's treatment of alien children. But the photos were vintage Obama-era.
The libs then concocted the fiction that kids were forcibly separated from parents.

Femi/Nazis went ballistic when they learned that the Obama admin separated alien
kids by (gasp) gender at a US Customs center in Nogales, Arizona, June 18, 2014.

It gets worse------after Obama locked up the alien children in cages, he issued an order to march the kids to the showers.
