Dem Rep to CNN: Unaccompanied-Minors Detention Center Conditions 'Kept Quiet' Under Obama
Newsbusters ^ | 06/16/2018 | Tom Blumer

Appearing to take the show's host by surprise, Henry Cuellar, a Democrat in Texas's congressional delegation contended Saturday on CNN that in 2014, the conditions at detention centers holding unaccompanied and separated illegal-immigrant children were "kept quiet under the Obama Administration."

That's probably correct, but it should also be noted that enough info had leaked out that that the press, if it had been genuinely interested, could have investigated matters further, and clearly didn't.

That Cuellar raised this point now shouldn't be a surprise. In 2014, he bitterly criticized Obama's handling of the surge of children crossing the U.S-Mexico border. A related July 2014 CNN story betrayed a great deal of hostility towards congressman for even bringing the matter up:

It’s simply about the narrative that they want to put up. Up here in the Great White North, the media presented “Justin standing up to bully Trump over tariffs” when in reality, a story about Justin allegedly groping a female reporter eighteen years earlier resurfaced (and apparently there are others who were his drama students who have other similar stories) and that the provincial Liberals in Ontario were thoroughly drubbed at the polls the week before last.

said yesterday it is not us breaking up families but those who come here illegally, but then they kept trying to say Trump is at fault. Point out how Obama did this and
they give him a pass and say they were outraged then. Nothing but liars the left are.

yep liberals told me that they were angry under Obama, which is a lie since they never mentioned it once. Hypocrites.

There's letters seal'd: and my two schoolfellows,
Whom I will trust as I will adders fang'd,
They bear the mandate; they must sweep my way
And marshal me to knavery. Let it work;
For 'tis the sport to have the enginer
Hoist with his own petar; and 't shall go hard
But I will delve one yard below their mines
And blow them at the moon: O, 'tis most sweet,
When in one line two crafts directly meet.

William Shakespeare

Wow!! You are right, about that tricky/lying URL that auto populates with a FAKE NEWS headline.

Not surprising, considering the source.

These ‘kids’ are sent up here, ALONE, by their parents/families!!

What kind of parent does that?

They allow their kids to be subjected to HORRID conditions with coyotes. Lets see what living conditions those coyotes, that these parents so lovingly offer their children to, provide.

This is out of control outrageous.

Keep your kids in your own country....fix your own country’s problems....stop sponging of of the US taxpayer.

Stop birthright citizenship!
Stop chain migration!!
Stop FREEBIES/handouts to those here ILLEGALLY!!!

The so-called “news” media had no interest in reporting anything about B Hussein that wasn’t glowing praise.

It is VERY important to download and retain ALL video and photographic evidence of the migrant child detention during the Obama administration.

The MSM is doing a great job at pretending this is only a Trump issue.

If we don’t vigorously fight this lie, we will lose elections!

Amen!!

We need to be making memes/graphics and vids showing all of this UNDER 0’s regime.

Push back or get run over.

Every one of their kids is a potential cash cow courtesy of the USA, that’s why. The “government” of Mexico and the Cheap Labor Lobby is more than happy with the arrangement.

Well Henry the media never reports wrong doing and issues during a Dem presidency. If there was a fair media the IRS scandal alone would have sunk the Obama presidency.
