Here Are The Photos Of Obama’s Illegal Immigrant Detention Facilities The Media Won’t Show You
The media and political class become more and more outraged over the
Trump administration’s decision to detain and prosecute immigrants
illegally crossing the border.
Lost in the debate is any acknowledgement that President Obama’s administration also used detention facilities.
Current
U.S. immigration laws, when enforced, have the consequence of
temporarily separating families that arrive with children into separate
detention facilities in order to prosecute the adults. The policy of
prosecuting immigrants for crossing the border illegally has been in
place for multiple administrations. The Obama administration prosecuted half a million illegal immigrants and similarly separated families in the process. So did the Bush administration. Personal accounts
from immigration lawyers tell a tale of Obama being equally concerned
about unaccompanied minors traveling to the border and wanting to create
a deterrent.
