    without putting children into detention camps

    Unfortunately this is not true. Obama’s administration put families in detention camps and separated them. It was not used with such fervor, but it was wrong then, too

    We protested this. There were court cases, and the Flores Settlement Agreement essentially ended the policy. But it took public outrage to enact change.
