Um, no. I never said it was Obama's policy. I just said his administration took similar actions at some point in the past. 

Ignore fact checkers when it comes to Trump. Not that the facts are wrong, but they tend to fact check a sort of tangent to what he says, and thus the 'lie' is not related at all to his meaning or what he said at all.

I recal reading some fact checkers after some Trump/Clinton debates and it was hilarious how they managed to spin everything Trump said into a lie and everything Clinton said into the truth. They both lied equally, we are not idiots. 

Tim Pool actually made a video about this very subject the other day. A fact checker for the New Yorker defamed wounded marine veteran by calling him a Nazi because she didn't bother doing any research on the various different iron crosses that militaries from around the world used. Tim is usually very professional in his videos, though this particular incident pissed him off to the point where he flat out said this reporter needs to be fired and called the New Yorker a garbage publication.

I'm not saying that the article about Trump is outright false, but as you pointed out, it is never good to take a fact checker at their word because they can be biased just like anyone else.

False.  You did not say "similar".  You said "same". I even quoted you making that claim if you wish to review it for yourself.  

 

Politifact rates that claim as "False".

They followed the same law. Their actions in enforcing that law is what differed. Also, I never said it was Obama's policy. I am fully aware that the law that Trump is currently enforcing was passed back in the 1990s.
