How is this policy changed from when Obama was in office again? The fakenews that started all this was a few photos from 2014. Russia didn’t stick, yelling about guns didn’t stick, now that Trump wants the wall funded it’s going to be an assault on immigration. Right or wrong, good policy or bad, if “Trump” is coming out of your mouth about this and Clinton, Bush and Obama aren’t... you’re being played.

  > Immigrant families are being separated primarily because the Trump administration in April began to prosecute as many border-crossing offenses as possible. This “zero-tolerance policy” applies to all adults, regardless of whether they cross alone or with their children. > The Justice Department can’t prosecute children along with their parents, so the natural result of the zero-tolerance policy has been a sharp rise in family separations. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2018/06/19/the-facts-about-trumps-policy-of-separating-families-at-the-border/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2018/06/... Stop spending so much effort trying to sound clever and put it towards actually understanding what you're talking about.

  >How is this policy changed from when Obama was in office again? The fakenews that started all this was a few photos from 2014. Under the Obama administration, families were not separated because the parents were not jailed. The photos to which you refer pertain to unaccompanied minors. What is happening now is that the Trump administration is jailing parents and removing children from their custody; in some instances, deporting the parents back to Central American without their own children. This is explicitely a discretionary change in policy ordered by Sessions and the Trump administration. The Obama adminstration did not have a policy of separating children from their families.

  For the record, "Russia" did stick. We still get news about the special counsel's investigation on a regular basis. We have plenty of evidence of people in the Trump campaign meeting with Russians and lying about it. I believe the special counsel's investigation is supposed to finish up some time this summer, so we will probably be hearing more about it in the near future. The only reason it seems like it didn't stick is because congressional Republicans and the conservative media benefit protecting Trump.
