Michelle Obama assailed President Donald Trump on Monday for ripping migrant children from their parents and throwing them into cages, picking up on a frequent and distorted point made widely by Democrats.
She's right that Trump's now-suspended policy at the U.S.-Mexico border separated thousands of children from their families in ways that had not been done before. But what she did not say is that the very same 'cages' were built and used in her husband's administration, for the same purpose of holding migrant kids temporarily.
In her remarks Monday night during her keynote address at the Democratic National Convention, the former first lady bemoaned the lack of empathy among people, saying it's not a world she wants her daughters to see.

The UK daily mail, doing the reporting work our press should be doing. This just goes to show that ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. are not actual music at work but arms of the Democrat party.

I don't see anything wrong with putting FGBAs (Future Gang Bangers of America) in cages. Consider it like training wheels on a bicycle. It prepares them for their future life in stir.
