But theyre blaming Trump like its his fault. The law which states children be separated from their parents at the border had been in place for 20 years. Its only happening in mass now because Trump has been tougher on illegal immigration than any president in the past. If past presidents had been tougher on illegal immigration, perhaps the problem wouldnt be as big now. But separating the kids wasnt Trumps idea. Its just an unfortunate consequence of his illegal immigration policy.

While it is true that our country has a history of monstrous cruelty in regards to immigration policy, there's been an explosion in these child separations in the past six weeks due to new policies implemented by the Trump administration.
Also, FYI, just because others have done something wrong doesn't absolve you of guilt for doing it too. Especially when you gleefully ramp things up.

Exactly. I don't know why people are using this as a "gotcha!" Separating children from their parents is pretty awful* regardless of which presidents have done it. Better for people to be angry now than not angry at all.

*Something of which apparently even Trump agrees on: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1007671131841671169
The Democrats are forcing the breakup of families at the Border with their horrible and cruel legislative agenda. Any Immigration Bill MUST HAVE full funding for the Wall, end Catch & Release, Visa Lottery and Chain, and go to Merit Based Immigration. Go for it! WIN!

It is awe full, and I hope something will be done about it. But the point Im trying to make is liberals shouldt be blaming Trump for this. The only thing Trump has done wrong here isnt be tough on illegal immigration. This separation stuff is just an unfortunate consequence due to laws that were made in the past.

Im not even a Trump supporter. Im just tired of liberal media blaming him for EVERYTHING whether its his fault or not.

I have acknowledged this. And I stated that we wouldnt have the problem to this degree if previous presidents had been tougher on illegal immigration. Hopefully, some new policies will be implemented to fix this problem, but dont tell me that we should be more lax on illegal immigration itself.

So you lied your ass off and now youre trying to pretend youre being reasonable.

Other presidents didnt do this on a massive scale. It wasnt policy to break up every single family regardless of whether theyre asylum seekers. No one else has put so many children into interment camps. The president is leading the charge on their mistreatment.

You dont get to be intellectually dishonest and then play the lets blame someone other than the responsible party card.

I didnt lie my ass off. I never said it was happening to the same number of people 20 years ago as it is today, just that it had been happening. I provided sources with context on post #19. Yes, it is happening more now as an unforeseen consequence of Trumps tougher immigration policies. Not because Trump is some evil demon who maliciously separates families. and that is the point that I have been trying to make.

Ok so what policies do you think changed in order to cause our current situation?

And I have acknowledged that. Being tougher on illegal immigration is what happened. But being tough on illegal immigration is a good thing. The children being separated is an unfortunate and unforeseen consequence. Now we're right back where we started, and I trust you're going to make me repeat something else for the 3rd time in this topic by continuing to bring up things I've already addressed.

The children being separated is an unfortunate and unforeseen consequence.

How is it unforeseen if the law has been on the books for 20 years?

At any rate, laws are not enforced with equal vigor; a law's presence "on the books" does not always mean it is (or should be) applied with full force to the letter of the law at all occasions.

And that is why Trump deserves blame.

Appointed Sessions.
Gaslighting the American people.

And of course he won't do anything about it.

Laws do not equal enforcement. Still haven't seen evidence of past administrations on purposely separating children from parents.
