On illegals' kids issue, where were the protests and wall-to-wall coverage when Obama did the same thing?
American Thinker, Jul 1, 2018, Jack Hellner

So the left is busy protesting President Trump's zero-tolerance stance on illegal immigration, which up until recently has included the separation of kids from parents, as illegally entering parents (or human traffickers posing as parents) are prosecuted. 

Where were the organized protests of hundreds of thousands in 2013 and 2014 when Obama did the same thing and worse? Look at the pictures. People released pictures in the past month thinking they showed kids in cages because of Trump. The pictures quickly went away after it came out that they were really pictures that were taken under Obama. Why didn't George Soros, or the ACLU organize protests when Obama did it? There were a few stories, so obviously the media knew Obama was separating and incarcerating children while trying to deport their parents. 

Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, Michelle Obama, the harridans of The View, Hollywood itself, and rest didn't feign outrage in 2013 and 2014, so their outrage today is obviously contrived. 

It is especially appalling to watch the media today, along with lefty pols such as Maxine Waters, Dianne Feinstein, Dick Durbin, Chuckie Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Jeff Flake and John McCain just roar at Trump while they were extremely quiet or supportive of Obama when kids were in worse facilities. It was under Obama that they had blankets made of foil.

Trump is Hitler for putting kids in cages.

Quote
Obama, Jeff Flake, McCain and others demanded that the laws be changed so kids could be deported immediately. Now McCain, Flake and others rip Trump incessantly and the compliant media acts like Trump is a tyrant dictator and compare him to Hitler. Here we have it, from the New York Times:

Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, said that Congress needed to repeal the 2008 human trafficking law. “The message has to be, ‘If you cross our border illegally, you will be returned immediately,' ” he said.

Senator Jeff Flake, Republican of Arizona, said the Department of Health and Human Services, which takes in many of the unaccompanied children, needed to be cut out of the process so that law enforcement officials could ship them home more quickly.

The immigrant rights groups should be ashamed of themselves because it is obvious they didn't protest during Obama and it's clear that these are staged protests and not spontaneous. It is a shame that the media participates in the duping of the public and uses these kids as pawns to trash Trump because that is the sole goal, to trash Trump.
