Is that what he said?
BTW, did you protest when Obama caged kids?
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, MMMM, MMMM, MMMM.
- Obama separated parents from their children at the border.
- Obama prosecuted mothers for coming to the United States illegally.
- He fast tracked deportations.
- And yes, he housed unaccompanied children in tent cities.
Obama took several actions that led to an outcry of fear and distrust, though his actions failed to get much attention.
One of the most controversial measures that Obama took was to resurrect the almost-abandoned practice of detaining mothers and children to deter future illegal immigration.
The government had one facility in central Pennsylvania and added three larger facilities in Texas and New Mexico holding thousands.
Obama would face legal challenges that stopped him from detaining mothers and children indefinitely.
A federal judge in California ruled that the Obama administration was violating a 20-year old case, known as Flores when it kept families detained for longer than 20 days.
Obama took other controversial steps as well, including fighting to block efforts to require unaccompanied children to have legal representation and barring detained mothers with their children from being released on bond.

Yes that's what he said!
If that's so, why haven't you proven it?
Did you shed any crocodile tears while Obama caged kids, separated families, and detained asylees?
THEY SOUGHT ASYLUM - OBAMA CAGED THEM - THIS IS THEIR STORY
The immigration debate intensified a couple of years ago during the Obama Administration when a flood of women and children came across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Obama didn't know how to handle the influx, so he detained these women and children in three family centers: two in Texas; one in Pennsylvania. There were more than a thousand people in these centers, waiting to know if they'd be allowed to stay in the country.
Maria Rosa Lopez and her son were some of thousands of people who fled from Central America to the U.S. in 2014 to escape domestic abuse — which is considered a credible fear that can warrant an asylum claim.
From Guatemala City, she and her son crossed another border into Mexico and then took a bus north to Monterrey, close to the northern Mexico-U.S. border. "I paid someone to take us across on a boat. It was night time and we slept in the desert on the U.S. side. There were other moms and their kids there too. A Brazilian woman asked me if she could sleep next to us," Lopez says.
The next morning, immigration officers woke them and took them to the Karnes detention center outside of San Antonio, Texas.
Lopez wanted asylum so she and her son could start their lives over in the U.S. She didn't know what to expect when she got on American soil, but she didn't expect to be housed in this facility with no word on when she'd be released.
"I was desperate when we got there. It was hard to see my child crying and he was asking a lot of questions," she recalls. "He knew it was a detention center and he wanted to know how long we were going to be there."
But she didn't know either. "No one was answering questions. I talked with people who had been there for six, eight months, and it was very depressing." she says. "Often my son couldn't fall asleep, we had bunk beds. He was on top of me but he would crawl down and wanted to be with me."
Denise Gilman, one of Maria's former lawyers, says the Karnes detention facility "feels very much like a prison" with "cinderblock walls, clanging doors, X-ray machines all over the place, buzzers that you have to use to get in and out to go see your 9-year-old client and his mom."
Gilman, director of the immigration clinic at the University of Texas Law School, says these women and children are seeking asylum, but they're treated like criminals.

BTW, I'll ask again - did you protest when Obama caged kids?
KIDS IN CAGES - NOT PUT THERE BY TRUMP - PUT THERE BY OBAMA
June 18, 2014
They are undocumented. They entered the country illegally. And when they were apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, they were shipped to Nogales from overwhelmed processing facilities in Texas.
But they are still children in cages, not gangsters, not delinquents. Just children, 900 of them, in a makeshift border-town processing center that is larger than a football field. They pass the day sitting on benches or lying side by side on tiny blue mattresses pressed up against each other on nearly every square inch of the floor in the fenced areas.
The Nogales facility is a way station where the children are identified, examined for health problems by the U.S. Public Health Service, vaccinated and then moved to other facilities in Texas, Oklahoma and California until they are placed with relatives already in the country to await their day in Immigration Court.
On Wednesday morning, bowing to pressure from politicians, the CBP allowed journalists to tour this warehouse of humanity. In essence, it is a juvenile prison camp.
The children, mostly of high-school and junior-high-school age, are housed behind 18-foot-high chain-link fences topped with razor wire.
They are segregated by age and gender: There is one area for those 12 and under. There are areas for boys and girls ages 13 to 15, and still more for boys and girls ages 16 and 17.
Nylon tarps, tied to the fences, provide a modicum of privacy between the groups. They share the kind of portable toilets used at fairs and construction sites, placed inside the cages and vented with clothes-dryer hoses.

why does Mason think children are being locked up?......
Maybe now she'll announce that she's "ignoring" you.
I love it when lefties do that. It is even sweeter when they call you a racist too.
I'm not crying about it now, Nerdberg. But you are.
What are you 12?
I'm someone who's not crying about Trump separating families after being silent while Obama did it for eight years, Nerdberg.
Can you say the same?
You lie. Not I.
