Trump immigration policy 'unsustainable'
Immigration under Trump: A Review of Policy Shifts in the Year Since the Election
-Banned nationals of eight countries, most majority-Muslim, from entering the United States.
-Reduced refugee admissions to the lowest level since the resettlement program was created in 1980.
-Reversed the decline in arrests of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. interior that had occurred during the last two years of the Obama administration.
-Cancelled the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which is currently providing work authorization and temporary relief from deportation to approximately 690,000 unauthorized immigrants brought to the United States as children.
-Ended the designation of Temporary Protected Status for nationals of Haiti, Nicaragua and Sudan, and signaled that Hondurans and possibly Salvadorans may also lose their work authorization and protection from removal in 2018.

Natalie Garcia, who watched immigration agents arrest her father, Jose Luis Garcia, as he mowed his lawn: "They are kidnapping people from their home, starting with my father, who has the legal status." https://t.co/BkIUQFgDta

Stephen Miller and a team of officials from DOJ, DOL, DHS, and OMB have been quietly meeting for months to find ways to use executive authority and under-the-radar rule changes to strengthen hardline U.S. immigration policies, Politico reports.https://t.co/HECGyWxPmt

At least 3 “tender age” shelters set up for child migrants
NEW: I just spoke with the former head of US Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) – He tells me that he expects hundreds of separated children will never be reunited with their parents. They will be lost in the system. Orphaned by the US Govt'.

Also did they intentionally detain and separate during Obama for the purpose of extorting funding funds for bull$**t initiatives:
Sarah Sanders says the White House will not consider standalone legislation to stop family separation. They'll only consider legislation that includes funding for a border wall, etc.

So yea. The White House just confirmed that these children are, in fact, being used as pawns.
Should I go on in contrasting the level of evil between the two administrations pertaining to immigration and border security? Never mind that Obama never had anyone like Stephen Miller in charge of what was happening there.
So I'd like to see the evidence it was ever remotely as gross, poorly managed and downright evil in nature during the previous administration. Not arguing it was perfect mind you to be clear.
