Liberals can't claim they didn't know what Obama did, can they?

CNN lays it all out.

How come JPP liberals didn't cry about separating families and caging kids when it happened under Obama?

Note that in this piece a Republican legislator asks why illegals aren't deported immediately. The note the liberal response.

YET HE DIDN'T STOP IT

Border detention of children shames America

June 12, 2014

Where did our country go? Americans are known around the world as a good and compassionate people -- with a soft spot for children.

And, although you wouldn't know it from watching a ghastly detention drama currently playing out in the Southwest, law enforcement and the legal system have built-in safeguards that acknowledge the simple fact that children are different from adults, and thus cannot be treated the same.

The Obama Administration seems to have forgotten that. There are currently hundreds of children from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador who have, in recent months, streamed across the Texas-Mexico border caged in warehouses.

Nora Sandigo is a guardian to more than 800 American children whose immigrant parents have decided not to gamble on the US foster care system. Like Lucía, the parents have all signed paperwork entrusting Sandigo with their children in the event they’re deported.

Aided by her small Miami-based charity, American Fraternity, Sandigo cares for immigrant families broken by deportations like the Jiménezes, whom she provides with food, school supplies and shelter. If, and when, the parents are deported, Sandigo raises their children.

Sandigo’s work is remarkable, but she says she has no choice. “We are tired but we cannot stop doing what we’re doing,” she said. “Every single day the kids need to eat. Every day they need to go to school.”

Sandigo said she does her best to keep the families well-fed and happy given the circumstances, but limited resources and hundreds of children, it’s not always easy. She said a child once told her that he was excited to go to bed early. When she asked him why, he said: “I don’t think about being hungry when I’m sleeping.”

“This kills me,” she said. “But their smiles, they make it all worth it.”

Sandigo brought a group of children including Andrés to Washington DC, to rally for immigration reform.

She said the experience was positive; the children shared their stories with several lawmakers who seemed sympathetic enough. But after years of pushing for immigration reform, Sandigo knows the difference between a kind smile, a promise and action. She said she is being careful not to get her hopes up, again.

At the rally, a child clutching the microphone near his face with his small hands, addressed the president directly. “I asked him to stop separating families because it hurts me,” he said.
