The featured image is from theHilltalk in 2016. While the controversy rages over the Trump administration’s separation of parents who illegally enter the United States from their children, reports show massive numbers of parent-child separation by the Obama administration. This shocking fact underlines the hypocrisy and childishness of the main stream media, msm.
Below is an excerpt from the report in HuffingtonPost on June 26, 2014:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement last year carried out more than 72,000 deportations of parents who said they had U.S.-born children, according to reports to Congress obtained Wednesday by The Huffington Post.
The reports were sent by ICE in April to the Senate Appropriations Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee, as required by law. ICE confirmed the authenticity of the two reports, which lay out 72,410 removals of immigrants who said they had one or more U.S.-born children in 2013.
The reports show that even parents of U.S. citizens are among the hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants being expelled from the United States each year. They hold particular significance as President Barack Obama faces pressure to change his deportation policies to keep families together. Read full
The difference is that while the Trump separations happen at the border when the parents who entered America illegally with the smuggled kids are attempting to come in; the Obama administration was rounding up parents already happily settled in the United States and separating them from their children if they (the children) were US citizens, and then deporting them permanently, and dumping thousands of these kids in foster homes.
A report in Immigration Impact analyzing the information on Obama’s deportation policies said:
Of those, 39,410 were deported in the first half of calendar year 2013 and the remaining 33,000 in the second half. In other words, in one year alone, many thousands of U.S.-citizen kids were separated from at least one parent. This is yet another example of how the U.S. deportation machine is systematically separating families and, in the process, affecting the lives of U.S.-citizen children, many of whom end up in foster care facilities after their parents are deported.
There are also similar pictures of kids in cages and under foil, from the Obama administration as captured by AFP. DailyCaller recently brought up many of these pictures fro Obama’s era:
Trump Decisions Explained
The Trump administration is constrained by a US law that limits detention of parents with kids for at most 20 days, not long enough for administrative process toallow them into America or deporting them rapidly, this is what brought about the separations.
The Trump administration has pressed on a Florida judge to quickly lengthen the time parents can be detained in company of their children. If the law does not reverse this the Trump administration may return to having the separate the children from their parents.
