I wonder if Trump approved Sessions doing this so he can throw Sessions under the bus. I have a hard time seeing Beauregard surviving this.
Probably not, but I think he’ll use it nonetheless.

I think this is probably true.
Obviously Trump is the chief executive here, but I think Sessions looks worse

Its still hilarious to me that people go on Fox News specifically to speak to Trump because they know he watches it non stop.

Susan Collins opposes family separation policy, also opposes bill that would end it

I think Obama-era deportation policy is fair game. But that's not the issue here, and I imagine you're quite aware of that.

As we've said many times, Obama was quite aggressive dealing with illegals. Deported 3 million.

My favorite part about the commie lover is the selective outrage by hating a guy like Trump, but praising the murderering communist Che and the last president who literally assassinated an American (oh and also separated illigal immigrants from their children - and I never heard a peep about it)

we're in a place that's not really about politics...certainly not about Obama or Clinton

I think one of the best things Trump has done is expose how ****ed up our government is. What's hilarious to me is the hysterical outrage the left throws a fit about every chance they get, when it's extremely easy to show this has been happening for years but they were just fine with it when it's their team. I saw a tweet this morning that summed it up nicely:

I feel like the left just sits in a room spinning a bingo cage wheel with problems that have been around for decades... they pull one out once a month, blame it on Trump, offer zero solutions, then act like they're saving the world because they're upset all of a sudden.

Meanwhile, to address your point beyond the very vicious illegal immigration policy of Obama (that shockingly nobody cared about until Trump came in)
Of course these were taken in 2014... and I did a pretty decent search in the Obama thread and didn't find a single mention. I was pretty active on twitter then, too, and don't recall this being mentioned.
Commie boy already explained it away above by either not knowing about it or not caring about it.
Is it worse today? It certainly appears so. But the hysteria rings hallow knowing that this wasn't a concern 4 years ago... now it is of course.
And it is horrible, and I think it's shameful that Trump is using it to negotiate... but this is what happens when you keep giving the government more power. People like Obama and Trump thoroughly abuse it and push it further and further. Patriot Act was supposed to be temporary... now it's unpatriotic to not support it. You give an authoritarian government more and more power (a liberal position that is pushed from both parties), you get awful **** like this.
Of course... we're not allowed to try the unicorns, so I don't expect much to change

I encourage you to vote your conscience every chance you get. You seem to misunderstand, intentionally or not, what that comment was about. Your carping about it will ring hollow until your unicorns (or mine, or anyone's) are a viable executive and legislative option.
I don't now and have never supported the Patriot Act. You're quite right about that. But you're quite wrong about the amount of care and concern and activism w/r/t immigration issues.
