Obama never had a policy of separating kids from their parents, like Trump does, and the cages were only used for 72 hours before releasing them to the Department of Health and Human Services for further placement.
The Associated Press reported in late 2019 that an unprecedented 69,550 migrant children were held in U.S. custody over that year.
So do you support separating kids from their parents, and keeping them in cages for longer than 72 hours? If not, then why are you defending the Trump administration's policies to do just that, by complaining about Obama? Of course I don't approve of Obama putting kids in cages for 72 hours either, but that CERTAINLY does not justify Trump separating them from their parents AND putting many tens of thousands of them in cages during the Coronavirus pandemic for much longer periods of time, then refusing to cooperate with the efforts to reunite them with their parents. Your argument is pure whataboutism and deflection.
