Mate, Obama did that too. There are plenty of sticks to beat Trump with, but that isn't one. Or if it is, then say the same about Obama too.
Do you think that because he told you? You're an imbecile and should fact check everything that comes from his mouth.
This is from Fox New's Shep Smith -
"Smith said while former presidents had policies to apprehend and deport migrants who were in the country illegally, officials from the George W. Bush and Obama administrations "gave children a pass."
He said while there were exceptions under the Obama administration, "it was not the policy to separate."
"After President Trump issued the zero tolerance order, officials did separate children from their parents," Smith said. "Some families have not yet been reunited."
He added that "the Trump administration did separate families. The Trump Department of Homeland Security estimates more than 2,300 children had been separated from their families by last spring. The Trump administration did detain children in cages.""
Don't regurgitate his lies hoping no one pulls you up on them.
