    Default Snopes Admits Obama Built Cages for Immigrant Children

    Another Democrat narrative fail. Even the left's own biased partisan "fact-checkers" are taking their annual break from their propaganda charade (propping up debunked Democrat opinion as hard fact and smearing everyone who questions it as a liar) to admit that this Democrat talking point is an outright lie.



    Snopes Admits Obama Built Cages for Immigrant Children

    "Of course when you have two former Obama administration officials (Obama’s DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, and executive associate director of ICE Thomas Homan) both on the record on the issue, in addition to media reporting at the time it’s really hard to claim anything to the contrary. Last year, Snopes also had to admit that the Obama administration placed immigrant children with human traffickers. I’m sure that wasn’t an easy admission for them either, especially since concerns about human trafficking are why children are separated from adults in the first place."

    Admit it? We knew that! So snopes must have known. And the maximum period of time SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS was up to 72 hours. Did you mention that? We're DOING DNA TEST months, even a year plus LATER to match kids with their parents. THERE WAS NO RECORD KEEPING!

    NOTE: Folks, when I first heard about this, I HOPED any and all APPALLED workers or the few lawyers, DHS, and inspectors allowed in would inform PARENTS to take a few strands of their KIDS hair and keep it, somehow, someway. (SADLY, I actually thought to type that on this board). Even if only by word of month! By the time we found out about it, it was too late--but BORDER employee knew what was going on early!

    “The Obama administration, not the Trump administration, built the cages that hold many immigrant children at the U.S.-Mexico border.”
    True.

    I have an easy question. How does this country detain illegal entrants be they adult or child without some type of fencing to keep them confined till they have their day in court? That said does it really matter who built these so called "cages"?

    None of this changes the fact that liberals are dishonestly hyperventilating over Trump continuing an OBAMA policy. Or that bringing your kid with you to commit a crime is YOU separating YOURSELF from your children.

    Translation: Your source makes points I don't like and can't intellectually contend with, so I must change the subject to the fallacy of off-topic source smearing.

    The link is right there in the article, dishonest demagogue. Next phony diversion please.

    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Truth, but you honestly had no need to spell this out. He responds to literally every thread by posing the most obvious, moronic diversionary questions that no one needs to address.

    It took somebody shoving that evidence at them to get them to admit it as it became embarrassing to them that they wouldn't talk about it with this strong evidence. That's why folks don't trust them. As I said, political propagandists, not truth seekers. The only people who "trust" this source love it because it literally feeds them their political opinion in an echo chamber.
