It’s politicized. Look, the guy sounds like a scumbag, but when we cry “kids in cages” when we were silent about the Left doing the exact same thing, the criticism rings hollows. Seems like we only care about kids in cages when it’s the Right doing the caging.

Or something that was done well over a decade ago by a guy that is no longer in office was only recently brought to light. Yeah, it was as **** then as now.

To bring it up is to play into the politicization.

Instead of just calling it out for the BS policy it is.

With their familes, not separated. And these were short term detention areas that were outside. Cages? Not really. The migrants waited inside areas that had fencing. Kinda like a tennis court. A cage?

Compare that to what Trump did and detained and held migrants in detention centers for multiple days, and without adequate food, water, and sanitation, often in overcrowded conditions. This was illegal. The ICE agents prevented humanitarian workers from enetering the centers to asses the conditions and the migrants.

So let's focus on Trump since he lacks the conscience of a normal human being. What will he do this time to migrants?

That and it was more a tragic, ****ed up response to a surge in unaccompanied minor immigration when it happened under Obama, certainly not the deliberate policy of Trump.

To what end, if not justification?

To show that the criticism rings hollow.

"You don't eat green peas!"

"Yeah . . . well your best friend didn't eat green peas either."

It's not justifying abstaining from eating green peas or vice versa; it just shows the criticism rings hollow when being selectively outraged. It would be better to say, "There's a long history of not eating green peas. Both sides have made this mistake. Green peas are actually pretty healthy if cooked right, so let's all do better moving forward."

And then we all do better because we hold stock in Del Monte and Green Giant.
