I know - where was the coordinated outrage mob in 2013, 2014?
(BTW - I am against separating the families as I am against illegal immigration - fix immigration laws, enforce those laws, and allow more through the front door LEGALLY).
This outrage mob is the same coordinated bullet-point-knee-jerk-talking-points reaction that was the post Parkland Anti-NRA coordinated bullet-point-knee-jerk-talking-points. I wonder what August's coordinated bullet-point-knee-jerk-talking-point will be??

No the outrage mob - but come to think of it - I don't recall them screaming when Obama era rules were doing it - not like today.
I cracked up (well would have if the topic was less horrible) watching NBC playing the religious card today.

Because it wasn’t like today. Under Obama the policy wasn’t perfect but they were prioritizing deportations not weaponzing children.

The article I posted ( if you read it), says that in 2013 alone, if the 70,000 parents separated from their kids, more than 10,000 had not been accused of any crimes.
So how were they “prioritized” before being separated from their children? You are pathetically, desperately, trying to differentiate between the two.

"Crimes" Jim. Being in the country illegally isn't a crime. There were other criteria being used to prioritize deportations as your article describes.

One. Last. Time.
The Huff Post article said that at least 10,000 people were deported, and separated from their children, for no reason other than being here illegally. The article says they "may have fit other criteria". That's good enough for you, to separate 10,000 kids from their families?
Here is my question - why is that OK, but not what Trump is currently doing? If Trump said the adults "may fit other arrest criteria", you expect us to believe that would satisfy you?

Oh FFS, the fact they are here illegally makes it a crime. That's literally what the word Illegal refers to
il·le·gal
i(l)ˈlēɡəl/Submit
adjective
1.
contrary to or forbidden by law, especially criminal law.
"illegal drugs"
synonyms: unlawful, illicit, illegitimate, criminal, felonious;
