The law has been consistent for several administrations. The president decides whether (and how) to enforce it.
Prior administrations chose not to enforce it against families, which meant those presidents didn't separate families.
Trump broke that tradition by enforcing the law against families.
Due to the limited resources available to immigration enforcement, all presidents must choose whom to pursue or not. Previous presidents chose to focus on violent criminals and drug traffickers.
