    See thread. This isn't a cheap "Obama did it too" talking point, it's just to say that if your rhetoric changes radically despite the machinery of state operating in roughly the same manner across administrations, your rhetoric is hollow and opportunistichttps://twitter.com/AndyGrewal/status/1141277612024750080 …

    Also, under Obama, children were kept in cages so crowded that they were "forced to sleep standing up or not at all." Weird that all of this was totally cool until 1/20/2017. pic.twitter.com/8j8qdCjXhz

        What is a logistically plausible alternative to keeping them in holding facilities as they await their asylum claims being processed? Where else can we hold thousands of migrants?

        No, its awfully cheap. Plenty of us were calling this out from the last administration and haven't changed pitch. I guess it's an appropriate synthesis that you wind up an apologist for this administration and still lack the morsel of courage in your gut to admit it.

        I think there’s another talking point being missed - or at least, unhelpfully implied rather than stated: the mess created by Obama’s lack of focus needs fixing.

        It’s far worse than hollow and opportunistic. It’s a well-thought out strategy to destroy our sovereignty.

        They're concentration camps, in the sense that we're detaining civilians en masse who haven't been charged with crimes. But the Obama admin was grappling with how to humanely treat an influx it couldn't handle, not separating babies from mothers to deter. Come on

        This is incorrect. Separation took place under Obama as well. The Flores Settlement from the 1990s forces it in many cases.https://twitter.com/AndyGrewal/status/1141277379278573568?s=20 …

        Democrats are allowed to have help in Presidential elections from foreign powers; they are also allowed to build and run concentration camps without them being called concentration camps. It's a wild ideological world these days. I don't get what happened to the Democratic Party.
