What law? Show us a cite for this alleged law that requires children to be separated. Everyone credible that I've heard says there is no law that requires separation, that it's entirely a Trump administration change to policy and procedures. Trump is the main source of trying to blame Democrats, but he's a congenital liar.

This leads to a talk show, Armstrong & Getty. Their guest was
an immigration
judge for 8 years. He mentions a couple laws and says they were passed
by Democrats So, for what it's worth:

I couldn't get it to play, it complains about my ad blocker, even though I disabled it.

Does this work?

Actually I did get the other link to work, thank you. What the former
judge is saying sounds reasonable and factual. The bottom line is that Trump/Sessions have gone to a
hard-line, zero tolerance policy that has increased the child separations
by twenty fold or more. I haven't heard anyone really disagree that Trump
is following the law. It's just that all his predecessors used their power
to prioritize how to enforce the laws, which power the president has,
so they didn't prosecute, which avoided the separation. Sessions/Trump
changed that abruptly and separations are sky rocketing. He cites laws
written in 2002 and 2008 that apply to what happens in that process.
While like you said, he mentions Democrats in both cases, Bush was
the president at thetime, so again, it's not party specific.

We'll see how this sorts out, what Trump does, what the Congress does.
It's certainly causing him tremendous damage in optics, that's for sure.
But then Trump is notoriously tone deaf, so who knows. I sure don't
see it helping to reach some agreement in Congress, do you?
