You are still incorrect. Obama administration never had a zero policy where all people coming to the border are detained and treated as criminals where their children are taken. This was a direct Executive order and policy shift by Trump and Sessions and its outlined in the memo that he sent to the border agents. Sessions and Trump both thought this was going to be a deternment for brown people trying to enter the US whether they were seeking asylum or not. You need to go read the memo and executive order from Trump that started this whole thing. In the time Obama was in charge or even the other presidents you probably had a few families that were separated not in the thousands and definitely not done to put pressure on Congress and the Dems to support build a wall. The whole thing started because both Sessions and Trump played a risky political game believing it would have the same results as the whole NFL bout.
