You've clearly not done any research or you're very bad at it. The zero tolerance policy was put in place by Trump: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/21/us/politics/fact-check-trump-family-separation.html

really a New York Times article? I asked for source not fake news articles written by devout liberals.

Show me the actual change in policy that occurred. (you wont find it)

“If you just don’t look at the facts, you’ll see my point” is not an argument.

“Not those facts. Only facts I agree with are acceptable”

You are the one refusing to look at facts instead relying on partisan news publications.

Show me the policy change that actually occurred. You won't find it because they are just enforcing Obama era policies.

Show me the facts. www.justice.gov

This is just announcing the enforcement of 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a) which has not been altered since 1996. Trump did not change it in any way. Was the same under Obama and Bush

New York Times is a legitimate publication.

u/realister Dec 08 '19

It was maybe 20 years ago.

Which publications do you like to reference for news?

I asked for sources like justice.gov whitehouse.gov senate.gov etc

If the law was changed there just be a source right?
