Though I loathe getting involved in polictics, the children separation thing needs to be sorted. Republicans are claiming that democrats made the law.

Except there is no law as such. Just to be clear this is under Trump administration and should be held accordingly. I’m not taking sides but I do despise fake news.

What you said was true. But I'm not sure why you'd say you're "not taking sides." Why not?

Simply because there’s always a side to a story we don’t see. That and I’m conservative by nature and I don’t like the way republicans are doing things. @Ynotisay

@NoYou OK. Fair enough. But there ISN'T a side we don't see. This hasn't purposefully taken place before. It's very cut and dry. If something is wrong it's wrong. If someone lies it's a lie. And while I applaud your effort to disengage from "your side" on this issue, the fact is that most don't. You can disagree without losing whatever you get from being a conservative.

Some are saying Obama did this too. While some are saying he didn’t. I’m actually going to read up on this before I draw a conclusion

@NoYou You should read up on it. You'll learn he didn't. It happened a few times by mistake. Now it's thousands of kids and its purposeful.

Here's a good article I ran across earlier. It quotes some of the players involved under Obama. They're not lying.
