My question is where was their outrage and collective media feeding frenzy when the same thing was going on during the Obama years?

Excellent idea! The scumbags at the SPLC has over $100 million stored in offshore accounts to avoid paying taxes. They can foot the bill

I know several, all liberals, who have made comments such as, "We got a new roof put on, and the Mexicans are very hard workers. It's very hard work but it is much cheaper." Or, "If we don't have immigrants, we nobody will work the fields."

I don't think they've really thought it through what it means or how exploitative it is, or that it prevents working class Americans from holding jobs. They understand the people are illegal, but don't really think through the consequences.

Whether that is true or not, I don't personally know President Trump, so that link has no bearing on my personal experience with liberals I know.

You don't "know Trump personally" so you are giving Trump a Mulligan on this one?

Well... he did want congress to step in... just he wanted his wall or something else.

He put a stop to it when he realized they weren't going to fall for it.

Not at all. Look at this thread. It went from yelling "families being separated!" "Treaties!" " Asylum seekers!", No logical arguments, just yelling.

Trump "caves" and the real issue is distilled out because, oops, a court could easily overturn the EO. This wasn't "Trump policy", it's what happens when break the law and get arrested like I've been saying the entire time. The real (previous) "administration's policy" was catch and release which is to not actually follow the law. Oops. But I have an excellent idea on how to deal with this, don't cross the border illegally.

Try putting aside your hatred for Trump and be a reasonable, logical, self thinker for once. By the way the MSM LOVED this, they had you collectively raging by calling anyone with a slight tan an "asylum seeker". They are the only ones making bank on this i$$ue.
