Obama: Are we a nation that rips families apart?

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?"

Reunite Barack with his Kenyan family (it’s the humanitarian thing to do).

Yes we are. Every day thousands of black children are ripped from their drug-dealing father’s arms and flung into a world of chaos... That’s what he’s talking about right?

Obama canonized his father in a book, which of course was simply his way of dealing with the fact that his father was a worthless alcoholic in search of white women.

Yeah, about 50 million by now and all those Democrats that claim to be Christians will argue “They’re not babies. they’re just cells, just goo”. What do you think their defense will be on judgement day when those cells and goo ask “Why did you kill me?”
