He did not much fir immigrants. You know me, I'm proimmigrant, but the hypocrisy is astoundimng, and I am getting this from progressives.

I don't remember who was President in 2015, but it wasn't Trump.

NY TIMES. July 25, 2015

“A federal judge in California has ruled that the Obama administration’s detention of children and their mothers who were caught crossing the border illegally is a serious violation of a longstanding court settlement, and that the families should be released as quickly as possible.”

“Judge Dolly M. Gee of Federal District Court for the Central District of California found that two detention centers in Texas that the administration opened last summer fail to meet minimum legal requirements of the 1997 settlement for facilities housing children.”

“Judge Gee also found that migrant children had been held in “widespread deplorable conditions”

““I think this spells the beginning of the end for the Obama administration’s immigrant family detention policy,” Mr. Schey, the president of the human rights center”

“Initially, Homeland Security officials said they were detaining the families to send a message to others in Central America to deter them from coming to the United States illegally. In February, a federal court in Washington, D.C., ruled that strategy unconstitutional.”

“But many women and children remained stalled behind bleak walls and fences month after month with no end in sight. Mothers became severely depressed or anxious, and their distress echoed in their children, who became worried and sickly.”

And how did we get to today’s policy?

“For children who could not be released, the Flores agreement required officials to place them in nonsecure facilities run by agencies licensed for child care.”
