Trump’s separation of immigrant families wasn't Obama policy

Critics of the Trump administration’s separating of families illegally crossing the U.S. border with Mexico have characterized the practice as a distinctly cruel feature of Donald Trump’s presidency. But some Republican commentators argue the policy is essentially a continuation of previous administrations.

Pants-on-fire smoke alarm

[Conservative commentator Matt] Schlapp said the Trump administration’s policy of separating families is “the same way Barack Obama did it.”

Obama’s immigration policy specifically sought to avoid breaking up families. While some children were separated from their parents under Obama, this was relatively rare, and occurred at a far lower rate than under Trump, where the practice flows from a zero tolerance approach to illegal border-crossings.

We rate this False.

That’s not to say Obama didn’t have bad immigration policies. He just didn’t have fucking baby jails.
