How do we know that? Because they weren’t nearly as nonplussed by the Obama administration policy keeping children with parents in detention as they are by Trump’s same exact policy prescription. Here’s Rep. Luis Guttierez (D-IL) explaining: “We challenged Obama…You know, Jeh Johnson, the Secretary of Homeland Security, said I only can keep children in detention for 20 days. And here’s what the Obama administration began to do, 20 days detention for children, as they apply for their asylum request, right, and the children and the moms were released together.”

This is the agenda. Release everyone. That’s why Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was willing to allow the separation policy to continue rather than work with Republicans in Congress to fix it.

The separation policy is bad. It should be fixed. But that’s not the actual Democratic agenda. And a solid percentage of the histrionics from the media and the Democrats were crocodile tears.



Here’s All The Proof You Need That Democrats Never Cared About Separation Of Illegal Immigrant Children From Parents

That, and facts don't matter to them. Stolen from the interwebz:

In March of 1993, The United States Supreme Court issued a ruling in Flores vs Reno. (Yes, “That” Reno. Janet Reno, Bill Clinton’s first Attorney General who ordered that young Elian Gonzalez be torn from his parents arms while hiding in a Miami closet. You might remember the iconic photograph.)

The Court decided that minors could not be incarcerated with the adults accompanying them across the United States border illegally. The decision was the result of a long dispute in how to best care for these children while the adults were detained for criminal proceedings.

You see, when aliens cross the border illegally, they are incarcerated until their criminal case is decided. The understandable argument at the time was “why should children be incarcerated while their parents are in jail?” It seemed a fundamental violation of international human rights. Makes sense, right?

As a result, The Flores case drew a line in the sand. Children could not be incarcerated with their parents or accompanying adult while being held for illegal immigration violations. And a subsequent 1997 agreement stipulated that children must be placed in a safer environment where they could enjoy certain privileges, including education, a clean, safe environment and other normal life cycle amenities that incarcerated individuals do not enjoy.

It was considered a “victory” for human rights. By separating adult and child, we protected the children, reducing any harm done to them for their parent’s or accompanying adult’s decisions.

A lot has happened since then. However, bottom line, these juvenile shelters have been operating in accordance with the law, and overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services to protect those children from the hazards of parental incarceration since 1997.

So, since Donald Trump was running his real estate empire, selling wine and casinos in 1993, we are left to determine just how he managed to orchestrate this cruel “separation of immigrant parent and child” 25 years BEFORE he was President of the United States. The obvious answer is, he didn’t. He had nothing to do with establishing this United States immigration policy. Today, he simply enforces it.

This one story illustrates how important it is for us to do our research regarding today’s headlines.

Democrats have adopted the Communist playbook. Communist Party USA used to foreshadow what would be a Democrat position in 5-10 years. Now they are inter-woven.

Charles Schumer said:
"When we use phrases like 'undocumented workers,' we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration, which the American people overwhelmingly oppose. If you don’t think it’s illegal you’re not going to say it. I think it is illegal and wrong and we have to change it."

Just saying, I actually agree with Sen Schumer.
