Former President Barack Obama is calling out President Trump's "zero tolerance" policy that separates families at the border, asking "are we a nation that accepts the cruelty of ripping children from their parents’ arms, or are we a nation that values families, and works to keep them together?"
"If you've been fortunate enough to have been born in America, imagine for a moment if circumstance had placed you somewhere else," Obama said in a statement on Facebook to commemorate World Refugee Day. "Imagine if you'd been born in a country where you grew up fearing for your life, and eventually the lives of your children. A place where you finally found yourself so desperate to flee persecution, violence, and suffering that you'd be willing to travel thousands of miles under cover of darkness, enduring dangerous conditions, propelled forward by that very human impulse to create for our kids a better life."
Obama later criticized the policy that has resulted in thousands of families being separated at the U.S.-Mexico border, saying that watching these families broken apart in real time poses a very simple question to Americans.
"Are we a nation that accepts the cruelty of ripping children from their parents’ arms, or are we a nation that values families, and works to keep them together? Do we look away, or do we choose to see something of ourselves and our children?"

Sod Off!
Detaining them is not ripping them apart.
Shut up you commie piece of sh!t
[[”are we a nation that accepts the cruelty of ripping children from their parents’ arms,]]
Well let’s ask all the incarcerated LEGAL citizens who have had their children ‘ripped from their arms’ if we are or not obama
What a homo. FUBO!
HYPOCRITE OBAMA STFU
You didn’t see a problem with it when you did it Barry.
No. We are a nation that rips babies apart.
Obama: Are we a nation that rips families apart?
Good lord, the man has no shame.
We are a country that doesn’t follow its Constitution or he could not have occupied the Oval Office.
How many ‘refugees’ are the 0bama’s sheltering at their multi-million dollar manse down the road from the White House?
Obama should ask Kate Steinle family that question.
Is this supposed to be the humourous article of the day? Given that we know about how family separations took place under his authority and that it was well known that this was to be kept away from public discussion as per his people.
Obama hates Americans with a passion. As far as he’s concerned, the sooner they are replaced with another people the better.
I thought this asshole was dead?
