Firstly, a judge made it so Kids could not stay with the detained parent after a certain amount of days during Obama's presidency because the judge deemed it immoral to keep the kids with parents while detained. It's really difficult to believe the left's crocodile tears about kids being separated from their parents when they didn't care during Obama's presidency, when they support abortion and it's a handy political hammer to hit Trump with. Secondly, Trump's policy was to prosecute all illegals entering the country illegally and ICE only followed the law in enforcing immigration laws. Either a different judge overrules the old order or congress does something about it. |
Yes, this is what happen during Obama term but there is a big difference between separating a few based on criminal trials against the parents or suspected parents compared to Trump executing an executive Order which changed crossing the border illegally from a misdemeanor to a felony. Even this would not be a terrible thing if Trump and his administration had prepared for it but they did not.
First they were so quick in wanting to institute their brilliant plan, they did not gear up for the facilities to house all the children this will impact. Also they did not gear up the judges needed for prosecution of the parents for crossing the border thus a process that should take a month takes almost a year or longer. Next because incompetence knows no bounds in Trump administration, they took the children away without any real means to bring them back to their parents. So now you have deported and not deported people without their children and no real means to hook them up with their parents. If this was done to your average white family in the US, whoever set this up would be fired but instead we get the whataboutism excuse.
This is what happens when you put an incompetent idiot in charge of complex processes who doesn't have a whiff of moral character and that includes his administration. This is why the whole whataboutism is always funny because leaving out very important context is key to understanding the difference between how other administration handled the situations.
