It’s called prosecutorial discretion, it’s done through justice department policy.

That’s not a real quote from the interview. That’s what happens when you read questionable “news” sources like Real Clear Politics. They misrepresent what was said. He said the Obama administration expanded family detention centers.

Trump’s policy of treating every misdemeanor illegal border crossing as a criminal matter so he can abduct children is a new policy.

So sad you guys are still crying about Obama 2 years in. Own your policy choices, argue they are good for the country, stop crying about former officials from the minority party, it makes you look weak.

No, hypocritical posts like this one make you look weak... Another TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) victim. lmao


Kudos on that spin lie.
I would be proud of that!

That was just too easy for you Mr. Jingles... :clap:

Are you really saying that after illegal border crossings rose 203% in one year that Jeff sessions should use prosecutorial discretion and stop enforcing the borders? You like to talk about the no tolerance policy. What is the correct way to enforce the laws on the books? Would maybe a 50% tolerance policy be better where you let half the people that break the law get away with it??

Zero tolerance is a new policy with new results. Where do you get lost?
These people are not people seeking asylum or trying to use legal means to get here. There are 48 legal points of entry along the Mexico/US border where families can go to request asylum and you will not be separated from your family. These are people, many of whom are not even from Mexico, that come all the way through Mexico and then try to sneak across the border undetected.

Okay, please tell me the real quote.
Jeh Johnson, DHS secretary under the Obama administration, told NPR earlier this month that he couldn’t say that family separations “never happened” during his tenure. “There may have been some exigent situation, some emergency. There may have been some doubt about whether the adult accompanying the child was in fact the parent of the child. I can’t say it never happened but not as a matter of policy or practice. It’s not something that I could ask our Border Patrol or our immigration enforcement personnel to do,” Johnson said.

"In a ruling Tuesday ordering the reunification of families in a case brought by the ACLU, San Diego federal court Judge Dana M. Sabraw wrote that there had been a “casual, if not deliberate, separation of families that lawfully present at the port of entry, not just those who cross into the country illegally.”



The Trump administration says it's a 'myth' that families that ask for asylum at ports of entry are separated. It happens frequently, records show

That may be what he told npr but this is what he told chris Wallace on Fox News “Without a doubt the images, and the reality, from 2014, just like 2018, are not pretty,” Johnson said. “And so we expanded family detention. We had then 34,000 beds for family detention. Only 95 of 34,000 equipped to deal with families. And so we expanded it. I freely admit it was controversial. We believed it was necessary at the time. I still believe it is necessary to remain a certain capability for families.”

Todd C. Owen, the assistant commissioner for the Office of Field Operations, said that between early May, when the zero-tolerance policy began, and July 2, a few weeks after the practice ended, there were just seven cases of children being separated out of 5,298 families who appeared at ports of entry. There are 48 ports of entry along the southwest border.

He said in all seven cases, the children were separated because an adult traveling with them had a criminal record. Mr. Owen said the department had always separated children from their parents when there was a danger to the children.

In four of the separation cases, the families tried to bypass customs officers by running through the gates at ports of entry, he said. While it is legal to seek asylum at the ports, it is illegal to try to cross by bypassing customs officers.

In the three other cases, an adult traveling with the children had a criminal record that included offenses such as drug dealing, aggravated assault or being previously deported, Mr. Owen said in a call with reporters.

Lol. It’s not their fault. They are surrounded by it 24/7 in the media, in Hollywood, and depending on where they live, the people around them. Eventually you just start to figure you are right and everyone else must be racist.

Yup. You are actually pretty moderate compared to me and they still won’t listen or concede an inch unless it’s something they completely agree with.

Honestly, if it is happening now it most likely happened in 2014.
2014 and 2018 are almost identical in events and reactions to those events.
Neither Johnson nor Trump are close enough to the action to understand what happened or why.
