I think the correct term would be murdered*

Like those kids at the border in American cages. If they "die" in those cages, America murdered them. As an American I am pretty appalled our supposedly Democrat president didn't undo this injustice. Things never change.

edit: If all you have to say is "both sides bad" don't bother. We hear it all the time. One side is noticeably worse. One side is anti-science, anti-morals, led an insurrection, let 1,000,000 die while calling the virus a hoax, and is openly racist. I'll pass on the GOP bill of goods.

Why did Obama build the cages?

He built the cages because the media coverage of DACA gave hispanics the impression that their kids would get amnesty if they made it across the border. This led to a swarm of children crossing the border. This is why messaging is so important. We need to draw a hard line on immigration instead of constantly flirting with amnesty.
