Replying to a reporter who asked for President Trump’s opinion on Laura Bush’s op-ed in The Washington Post, Sanders said, “Frankly, this law was actually signed into effect in 2008 under her husband’s leadership, not under this administration.”
“We’re not the ones responsible for creating this problem, we’ve inherited it, but we’re actually the first administration stepping up and trying to fix it,” she added.

2008? There is no federal law mandating separation of children from their families. She's talking apples and oranges--a consent decree about unaccompanied (noncitizen) children in 1997. She's just giving excuses for something that IMO is inexcusable.

There seem to be two issues here involving children.
First is what to do with the children when the parents are arrested for criminal activity?
Second, which doesn't seem to be getting a lot of media share is what do you do with the horde of unaccompanied minors that cross the borders illegally? I recall this in the news several years ago and from what I've read it has continued and some say has gotten worse. We have a bunch of unaccompanied children crossing the border, some of whom have attached themselves to families that are crossing, some are herded by human traffickers and some traveling alone just to get away from whatever hell they were living in their home country.
What is the solution to this? That's the hard call.

There are way more than two issues.
Why are we separating children from families who have requested asylum in the proper, legal manner, by presenting themselves at a port of entry to make the request?
Why are we closing the border points of entry, effectively preventing asylum seekers from following the law?
Why are we deporting parents, without their children who we took away from them at the border. In some cases, infant children remain in the U.S. after the parents are deported.
Why isn't the government abiding with the 1997 Flores consent decree? The plaintiffs took Sessions back to court last year and won - yet the government still won't follow the law.
