Ever unwilling to accept accountability, former President Donald Trump liked to blame his predecessor in the Oval Office, Barack Obama, for building human cages at ports of entry to the United States.In reality, cages and cells have been a feature of the US immigration system, under one euphemism or another, since the 19th century.
