During his tenure as president, Donald Trump adopted a tough on illegal immigration policy—largely via executive orders—that drew the constant ire of his critics. Border patrol agents intercepted many who crossed the southern border illegally, including youths. Often authorities separated such children from their families and placed them in crowded detention centers—run by those who failed to “systematically hold facilities accountable,” according to a recent report.
It was not one of America’s finest moments, and it was a strange move for Republicans who allege to support fiscal responsibility and pro-family values. Yet these immigration policies do not appear to be particularly cost effective compared to some alternatives, and unnecessarily splitting up families seems to fail any pro-family litmus test.

Under Biden, kids in cages is (D)ifferent.
Yes, it’s ok. Why the question mark?
This is an incredible waste of our resources. We have plenty of American kids who should be kept in cages right now; don’t need any foreign suppliy of them.
Correction: It’s
“Kids in Reynold’s Wrap.”
Well, let’s do make sure that Harris gets credit here too. After all, they want it called the Biden/Harris admin. right?
Trump “separating” of kids from families is a patented liberal slur.
SCENARIO ONE Migrants crossing illegally, referred for criminal prosecution, are brought before a federal judge to determine if
prison time is warranted. That’s where the separation happens — because a person cannot be incarcerated with children in a federal jail.
SCENARIO TWO Some children are used as a ruse to simulate a “family” and are subject to abandonment
once the illegal adult gets across. The child is then placed in the custody of the BP to prevent further abuse of the child.
yeah...they’re much more crammed together.
It shows how much the “outrage” was ginned up and how much the liberals actually do not care.
Packed in like sardines from what I understand.
I read that before Biden invited every bene seeker, there were only 95 children left without parents.
Biden’s Burritos
Yup.
Why don’t people know this?
I am so tired of arguing with family members about kids in cages, and how it was Obama who initiated that.
Now Biden has covid kids wrapped up like baked potatoes, and MSM is silent.
Exactly! 🤪😱
