Why The “Abject Silence” From The Left About Child Migrant Detentions Under Obama?

Tuesday, June 19, 2018 19:42
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Unless you’ve completely avoided media for the past two or three days, you’re no doubt aware by now that the controversy over the Trump administration’s decision to separate migrant children from their detained parents after they’ve been caught illegally crossing the border has exploded since ProPublica published a recording of children who’d been captured by ICE crying out for their parents, and the agency allowed a handful of reporters on a supervised visit of the facility where many of the children are housed.

However, the liberals who have been responded with a non-stop barrage of social media attacks on the President and those who voted for him, have apparently forgot that the US has been housing migrant minors for years – and that a sizable increase in the minor population held in US facilities occurred under Nobel Peace Prize winner President Obama. To drive this point home, Breitbart reporter Brandon Darby reminded us of this fact by tweeting photos from his 2014 visit to one such migrant detention center (as most should recognize, Obama was president at the time).

As the photos reveal, the “cages” that have become a locus of liberal fury are just like the ones used during the Obama-era. And yet, Darby noted that his original story about the holding centers was met with “abject silence” from the left. As anybody who’s been paying attention to the data would know, border crossings have only recently started to pick back up after an unprecedented drop last year, meaning Trump’s deportation numbers haven’t risen back to the highs reached under his predecessor, who carried out a record 97,000 criminal prosecutions for illegal border crossings in 2013, according to the Daily Caller.

Some of the photos shared by Darby can be seen below. Notice they all have two things in common: They’re virtually indistinguishable from the photos of the detention centers being run by ICE today. Yet they were all taken during the Obama era.

President Trump lashed out at his critics during a speech earlier today defending his “zero tolerance” policy. During his speech, which featured Trump’s trademark fiery tone and rhetoric, he pointed out that he’s taking many of the same steps that were taken by the Bush and Obama administrations, while repudiating Democrats’ “internment camp” comparisons and pointing the finger at his political rivals for allowing illegal immigrants to “infest” our country and “not caring about crime.” Trump also noted that of the 12,00 children in detention, 10,000 were sent on a very dangerous mission by their parents, and only 2,000 were accompanied by their parents when they reached the border. On Monday, Trump insisted that the US would not become “a migrant camp” or a “refugee holding facility.”

      The Negro of theirs was a DEMON. A Demoncrap. Practiced SEX of the Devil. A foul sodomite in every way. Unfit for that office. But this is the SICK minds of Demoncraps.

      To put in a foul Negro not of your tribe. A boy who practiced sodomy from his youth, grew up in a pagan religion then indoctrinated by another very UGLY leftist Negro to hate white man and his country. Dreams of my father, yeah…. WET dreams, I suspect.

      The Negro sodomite is still MOUTHING off about America, when his mouth is not busy sucking something else off. Like Joe Biden. :twisted:

      Really, Trumps blames everything on Obama…. In the mean time, Obamacare still is active.

      The whole issue isn’t about detention centers. It is about the seperation of families. That hasn’t been done by any other president.

      And no there is no law made by the democrats that enforces this.

      Even Melania Trump is against the seperation of families

        The kids in fences that you see pictured were taken during the reign of the demon Negro obama. Get your facts straight before you blame the white in shining armor.

        Melania’s speech was to take the heat off the 1st Lady as being “unconcerned”. This was already planned out to take the edge off of Trump’s false accusation by the left that he is heartless, when it is Demoncraps that are heartless, and also, have NO soul. :twisted:

          True, but the they REFUSE to show any pictures taken during Trumps reign. The difference is that NOW there is a zero tolerance policy that makes the problem (under Obama) WORSE under Trump. It’s a matter of degrees.

          as a republican there is an opportunity to win the hearts of the voters in the mid term election by showing atleast a working compass when it comes to moral values.

          So instead of that , Trump made it worse

              sometimes i’m not sure if you’re thick or just stupid :eek:

              if anyone commits a crime and is detained, the LAW mandates the separation of the family (they don’t send entire families to jail, just the offender)

              if these families don’t want to be separated, then they can choose NOT to be separated, by choosing to not break the law

              p.s. the Constitution affords illegals ZERO protections – you do the crime, you do the time without your family

            that’s exactly what Trump did, showed he has a working MORAL compass – by detaining and deporting ILLEGAL aliens, you know, the ones who come over to the U.S. and rape and murder and steal

            Trumps MORAL obligation and sworn duty is to protects AMERICANS, it is not to protect aliens at the expense of Americans

      Apparently after the parents serve jail/deportation time they’re sent back to the country of origin WITHOUT THIER CHILDREN. This seems to connect to orgs like “the red Cross” who are instigated in the bus kidnapping of hattian children on the DIRECT orders of CLINTON. I believe they are part of the child selling the entire Government are part of. Like GLEN CANADYS Article with Lavey and him openly Saying WHERE AND WHEN THEY’LL SACRIFICE A BABY. HOW CAN THIS BE ALLOWED ??? HE’S ADMITTING TO PREVIOUS CHILD MURDERS AND TELLING US WHEN HE’LL DO IT AGAIN !

      Same laws different Presidents. Don’t come to U.S because we cannot take care of the world. Would you put 20000 cattle, where two hundred are enough. 6000 rabbits where 60 are enough. Cultures migrate due to globalist intervention of buying banks and wars. It has consequences some cultures insist that ALL around them behave the same, when migrated. It will not work. Every elite = knows culture differences brings -civil war with host country always labeled as intolerant..when they foot the bill and put up with extra rapes, torture, murders, accidents, child slave trade.
