President Donald Trump is falsely asserting that the federal policy that split migrant families at the border was practiced by his predecessor, Barack Obama, as well.
The Obama and Trump administrations operated under the same immigration laws but the “zero tolerance” policy that drove children from their parents was Trump’s. […]
The president is correct, however, in saying that photos of children in holding cells were misrepresented online as showing the effects of Trump’s immigration policy. …

“The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.” - Abraham Lincoln
That’s why kids were in cages separated from their families. Otay AP.
AP lying again.
Shocker.
DHS Sec. Jeh Johnson: I Freely Admit We Detained Children, It Was Necessary
Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, said the Obama administration attempted to keep “quiet” about how many unaccompanied minors were crossing the border and that children were being held in detention centers.
“There were large numbers of people coming in,” Cuellar said in an interview with CNN on Saturday.
“The Obama administration was trying to keep this quiet.”
According to the Washington Post, nearly 70,000 unaccompanied minors were apprehended at the border in 2014.

Liberal "fact" Checking is all about blocking, thwarting and obfuscating FACTS
Because his policies rewarded children for arriving without their parents.
So the AP provably comes out as a propaganda source and not as an objective journalist source.
That’s enough to deny them press credentials I think.
‘Check’ also has the meaning of a promissory note as in: how big was that Soros check?
Nice one.
The AP lies.
Can we exchange the kids in cages for fake journalists in cages?
One of my favorites.
So-called “Fact Checking” has devolved into yet another form of MSM propaganda. And typical of the “liberal” mindset, they somehow think they alone can pass judgement on others without question. F’em.
They seem to be implying that the previous administration didn’t enforce the law.
Who the hell is “fact checking” the Ass. Press? They don’t have the credibility to do it themselves.
“Fact checking” is just the commie ‘RATS’ way of saying we believe our own propaganda.
There are no objective journalist sources. The purpose of the First Amendment is to protect the right of the people to listen to, and read the opinions of, whoever they wanna. Far from assuring objectivity, restricting the government’s ability to regulate printers - which is what the First Amendment does - guarantees that government cannot “assure objectivity.”That’s enough to deny them press credentials I think.
Since no journalistic enterprise can, under 1A, be licensed by the government, granting “press credentials” to anyone is nothing the Constitution has anything to do with. All this poppycock about a rude person associated with CNN having a “right” to equality among journalists with press passes is simply a political fight between the illegal journalism cartel (of which the AP is IMHO the linchpin) and a politician (Donald Trump) whose political party is opposed by the cartel.Everyone has a right to be a journalist. You have that right, and so do I. In fact, we’re exercising Jim Robinson’s right to be a printer just like any paid reporter might exercise the right of his employer (printer). It doesn’t matter whether or not Jim Robinson’s web site uses ink and paper or not because the authors of the Constitution specifically mentioned the right of Congress to establish the patent office “to promote the progress of science and useful arts.” So, there has been progress in the useful art of propagating opinion, which does not require ink and paper. The principle of the First Amendment that I am allowed to read the writing of anyone who wants to allow me to do so does not change. Unless of course the states amend the Constitution . . .
