Donald Trump is enforcing an immigration law that President Bush signed into law in 1997, the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008. Children are separated if their parents are not present, if the child is in danger, or the parent is placed into criminal or asylum proceedings. Under the 1997 Flores Settlement while Bill Clinton was president children of illegal aliens cannot be held for more than twenty days. Children have to be released to proven relatives or foster care until their parents are processed. This did not seem to be an issue when Obama was president as photos taken during his administration have shown children in chain link cages.
Quoted to give context to the replies here, and to make copypasta trolls accountable for their nonsense.
