Obama was doing this shit for years
No, he wasn't.

According to an immigration expert, last year, there were 303,000 asylum crossings along our southern border with only 46 challenged as potentially being fraudulent. Trump is telling another lie.
We need to pass that law before children start dying of heatstroke. That might be too far even for some Republicans.
Our birth rate isn't replacing the population fast enough, we need to take in far more than 300k/yr to bolster the workforce and keep the economy booming.
Can this possibly be so? 303,000 asylum crossings into our country in one year?
Do you support open borders, RJ? How about the rest of you libs on these boards? Do you think that 300K people should be able to just walk into the country every year for any reason?
And why do Democrats have such a problem with expecting people to obey the law? And/or making excuses for them when they do not obey the law?
Even if 300,000 assylum cases was too excessive, how does the policy of separating children form their parents solve that problem?
As to you second point, from what I've read, these are not, in fact, illegal entries; they are, by definition, asylum seekers which, if they follow the correct procedure, is a legal form of entry. The grounds, validity or need for asylum are determined thereafter.

I'm assuming, then, that you support an open border policy. Does this country have an official policy, approved by congress, whereby anyone can just show up at the border, claim they are seeking asylum from whatever entity for whatever reason....and walk into the country?
I don't think such as policy exists, but if it does it certainly needs to be revisited. A country that has no control over its borders is in deep trouble.
I understand why Democrats support an open border policy, of course. It is vital to their continued existence as a viable political party in this country.

Watching Kirstjen Nielsen's press conference, apparently the children are all future MS-13 members. (Seriously, she's mentioned MS-13 twice. In a press conference in response to her agency's treatment of children.)
Didn't hit post right away, the MS-13 / gang mention is up to four or five.
I don't see how this press conference will change the minds of anyone not already on their side. The way she kept saying that this will stop when Congress passes a law certainly made it seem like they're holding the kids hostage to get Trump's immigration priorities passed.
Also, it barely needs to be said about anyone from this administration at this point, but she lied a lot.
Just because I don't believe in the evil, Draconian, amoral policy of ripping infants from their parents doesn't mean I believe in open borders. Thus, your next question is moot.
Trump has unilaterally changed the parental policy as well as the policy of every POTUS since Reagan about granting amnesty to those who come to our country with legitimate claims of asylum for violence in their homelands and spousal/family violence.
Supporting Trump's policy, it is 100% his and Sessions' policy, to separate every child from parents who are legally asserting claims of asylum shows a total lack of empathy, a lack of humanity and a willingness to create more hatred of America.
Why aren’t they going after MS-13? I imagine if they really arrested MS-13 gang members, they would hype the hell out of it. So I assume they haven’t.
