Think they would have done this while Obama was POTUS?

Well, we’re the same country we were when Obama was president. It’s just that the “news” media declined to cover the separation of kids. But, see, there’s a problem

From the Daily Mail
The father of the Honduran girl who became the face of the family separation crisis has revealed that he still has not been in touch with his wife or daughter but was happy to learn they are safe.
Denis Javier Varela Hernandez, 32, said that he had not heard from his wife Sandra, 32, who was with his two-year-old daughter Yanela Denise, for nearly three weeks until he saw the image of them being apprehended in Texas.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Hernandez, who lives in Puerto Cortes, Honduras, says that he was told yesterday that his wife and child are being detained at a family residential center in Texas but are together and are doing ‘fine.’
‘You can imagine how I felt when I saw that photo of my daughter. It broke my heart. It’s difficult as a father to see that, but I know now that they are not in danger. They are safer now than when they were making that journey to the border,’ he said.
Denis said his wife and daughter were never separated by border control agents and remain together.
Never separated. The child was put down for a brief moment while mom was searched. That’s it. That’s why the Credentialed Media should do research and verify exactly what they are publishing. One has to wonder how often, though, are the layers and layers of fact checkers fail vs how often they do not care because they want to Get Trump.
He revealed that his wife had previously mentioned her wish to go to the United States for a ‘better future’ but did not tell him nor any of their family members that she was planning to make the trek.
‘I didn’t support it. I asked her, why? Why would she want to put our little girl through that? But it was her decision at the end of the day.’
He said that Sandra had always wanted to experience ‘the American dream’ and hoped to find a good job in the States.
Denis, who works as a captain at a port on the coast of Puerto Cortes, explained that things back home were fine but not great, and that his wife was seeking political asylum.
Just because things are so-so at home doesn’t mean you get to just show up at our border and claim asylum. Want to fix this problem? Pass a law that anyone seeking asylum can only do it at a US embassy or other facility, and we’ll look at their claim. But, not at our border. Illegals who are crossing at non-entry points or entry points, and have even been caught well within the US, know what talking points to use. And they all seem to be claiming some sort of asylum.
Fake news, indeed! They also photoshopped Trump’s horns away.
It’s called the truth, sweetie, and you clearly hate it when it catches up to you.
All donkey memes of late, like little Jeffery Keene of St. Louis, are nothing but losers and lying.
Why do we get this notification regarding http://www.piratescove.us?
It says there is a Certificate warning!
Is there a security issue?
It’s a warning that they’re tracking you, little jeffery keene of st. louis, and you should probably go away.
Actually that’s exactly what it means.
And does it make sense that someone would trek 1000 miles with a child just because things are so-so at home?
We get it. They’re not like us. They’re Mexicans or worse. They don’t care for their children as much as you do.

Why do you hate Mexicans?
