Obama "imprisoned" illegal immigrant children !

Outrage over the Trump Administration 

separating 20% (about 2,000) of minors 

who enter the country,

from their parent or parents 

... is ignoring the fact that 

the Obama administration 

was also separating children 

from their parents.  

80% of children 

entering the United States 

are separated from their parents 

when they're shoved 
across the border 

with a human trafficker.

Trump signed Executive Order #13841 

on June 25, 2018, 

ordering that detained families 

not be separated unless the parents 

pose a danger to the child, 
while the Trump Administration 
pledged to reunite separated families. 

A January 2016 Senate subcommittee report 

found that from October 2013 through 2015 

the Department of Health and Human Services 

placed nearly 90,000 children with a sponsor, 

after they were detained at the border 

without a legal guardian. 

"After apprehending an individual 

and determining that he or she is a 

[Unaccompanied Alien Child] UAC, 

CBP or ICE transfers him or her 

to a facility run by the 

Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), 

which is part of the 
Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). 

All of the unaccompanied minors 

detained under the Obama Administration 

were locked up in the same facilities 

the Trump administration is now using. 

A February, 2016 report 

from the Government Accountability Office 

titled: Unaccompanied Children 

- HHS Can Take Further Actions 

To Monitor Their Care, found that:

-- Thousands of unaccompanied minors 

were taken in by the Obama Administration 

each year and placed in government facilities. 

-- In 2011, the average stay 

of an unaccompanied minor 

in an Obama facility was 72 days, 

which dropped to 34 days in 2015. 

-- In 2016, the average stay was 41 days, 

while the Department of Health 
and Human Services 
"Unaccompanied Alien Children Program" 

fact sheet from June 15, 2018 states: 

"Currently, the average length of stay 

for UAC in the program 
is approximately 57 days." 

Hundreds of thousands 

of migrant children 

whose parents sent them 

into the United States alone, 

or with a human trafficker, 

remained in Obama facilities 

for up to months at a time, 

before eventual release 
or repatriation. 

If one adds up just the 

unaccompanied minors 

taken into custody 

between 2008 - 2016,

nearly 300,000 children 

were placed in federal housing 

under Obama. 

Almost no one cared.
