Do you have friends that are misinformed about how immigration works? (If you have friends, then the answer is "hell yeah"). Here's a quick primer with source notes that refutes a lot of the bad arguments out there: #KeepFamiliesTogether #KnowledgeIsPower
Obama only put unaccompanied minors in detention (which, while terrible is different than what is currently happening). This admin is separating children from parents and putting minors in detention.

The Flores Decree does not actually require the separation of children from parents.
