It was bad policy when Obama and the Democrats supported it and it’s bad policy now, but it’s a travesty now because the media tells you it is and there are elections in a few months… nobody cared when it was Obama, and now suddenly it’s a national crisis. I guess hypocrisy has a short shelf life.
Agreed on the first part but the reason for it being highlighted now is not a double-standard, it is because Obama didn’t say Mexicans were all rapists and claim that Mexico was going to build the US a wall to keep themselves out. If Trump didn’t want the media to examine his border policy more closely than they did Obama’s policies, then he shouldn’t have had so many tantrums about it while screaming “Please pay attention to me!” all the time.
