Dems have backed border security plenty of times. They just object to Trumps symbolic (e.g. wall) and cruel (e.g. family seperations) approach.
Sorry I just can’t let this fly. The family separation started under Clinton and continued under Bush AND Obama. So don’t try to blame it on Trump
Because of the line in your signature about gun control, I did just assume you were wrong but I checked it anyway. Unsurprisingly:
Tweeting about family separations at the border, Trump claimed, "we had the exact same policy as the Obama administration."
That’s not true. Families were separated at the border as a result of a new Trump policy called "zero-tolerance." There were some family separations under the Obama administration, but experts say not at the scale of the Trump administration's and that they were relatively rare.
We rate Trump’s statement False.
