Almost 300 migrant children removed from Texas facility described as 'appalling'

OK, if that facility can handle 30 occupants then what should be done with the other 270?
Well according to ya’ll, the party of no ideas or solutions, just let them sit in their own **** and piss, and don’t provide soap or food.
 
You don't need a Congressional act to get these kids basic needs met. The executive could do it right now if this was something that truly mattered to them. But obviously it doesn't. Because for them the cruelty is the point.

The Cruelty Is The Point

Trump-2016-your-feelings.jpg

Their names have mostly been lost to time. But these grinning men were someone’s brother, son, husband, father. They were human beings, people who took immense pleasure in the utter cruelty of torturing others to death—and were so proud of doing so that they posed for photographs with their handiwork, jostling to ensure they caught the eye of the lens, so that the world would know they’d been there. Their cruelty made them feel good, it made them feel proud, it made them feel happy. And it made them feel closer to one another.
 
Why do you support these kids dying while in US custody?

Because it’s easy to show disdain for humans and a lack of sympathy for their suffering when you live life and only know the outside world on a computer in your den.
 
Almost 300 migrant children removed from Texas facility described as 'appalling' This is sad and is a serious black eye on us as a so called “civilized and compassionate” nation.

"The children have been taken to a tent detention camp also in El Paso ..."

Great. I'm sure a tent camp will be soooo much better.

How can it even be possible that the United States of America, the greatest country ever, is responsible for this horrific treatment of human beings? I know I'm getting old, but I grew up believing that we were the good guys on this planet.
 
Good!

Problem solved...until they withdraw the troops...again!

In the meantime, what does this have to do with this thread?

Perhaps you try to argue that there is no reason now to treat kids with cruelty in order to stop illegal immigration?

Do you understand that the border patrol is over whelmed with illegal aliens. They detained about 144,000 in May. The system at the border is broken.
There is no more room.............. They are doing the best they can! WHY won't the democrats in the house take the necessary step to relieved this?
Because they hate Trump and think this is hurting him so they let the kids suffer.
 
Lawyers said something.

It must be true.

Lawyers never lie or twist the truth.

That's your response to the U.S. taking children from their parents and putting them in cages, making them sleep on concrete, not giving them the means for basic hygiene, feeding them crap food with little nutritional value, and ignoring them when they get sick?

Wow.
 
get Central American News teams inside the facilities and broadcast live back home and warn people....quick...warning you will die if you come.

STAY HOME

They've seen it. It's all over the internet, to which even Central Americans have access.

It does not work as a deterrent, which was the reason given for this draconian policy in the first place. Since we know it is not a deterrent, why are we continuing this failure of a policy?
 
I don't believe Dems give one **** about these kids...its just a political hammer and Trump supporters are far stronger than McCain Romney and W when it comes to left wing BS.

stop breaking the law and you won't be in danger....simple.

Simple explanations appeal greatly to simple minds that don't want to be bothered looking things up for themselves. Trump is the sort of man who relies on people like that.

Agreed, and what’s even more disturbing and heartbreaking are those that call themselves Americans that think this is completely 100% acceptable. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Wow.

You would have to have an actual conscience to answer truthfully...sadly..there is none there.

As you've pointed out, dems don't care if kids are separated from their parents. Think of all the kids of drunk-driving parents who are separated and is in harmony with the thinking of dems and, further, kids who are separated from their 'abusive' parents which is also in harmony with the thinking of dems.
 
Look, to all who accuse Democrats of not wanting to fix this issue, plenty of Democrats have indicated that they're willing to do bipartisan work in bipartisan fashion.
The evidence of that has been posted here several times, from congress-dot-gov.
The overwhelming response has come from Mitch McConnell and it boils down to "We will not work with Democrats or entertain any bill passed by the Democratic House."
There's where your bipartisanship goes when Trump's human shield is in charge of the Senate.

But it doesn't change the fact that there are Democrats who will try to get something accomplished on immigration reform.
It just means that we may have to wait till McConnell is told to cooperate by his boss Trump, is defeated, or is incapacitated, or DIES.

I don't need to keep putting up the Congress Dot Gov page, because it has been put up almost a half dozen times here.
If you want to go there and create a search, by all means please do so.
If not, then you get to tell lies for another day, to idiots who will believe them.

The fact remains however, that 700 bucks a day should be able to cover the cost of soap and toothbrushes.
This is just plain venal and mean spirited.

People have already made their mind up about this, and the majority of them agree that we've crossed the line.
The only people who are okay with it are Trump's continually shrinking base.

Half that a day covers a really nice hotel room with cleaning staff, room service, and a bar tab. Apparently these private contractors that the Trump administration chose can't even match the efficiency of a Hilton Garden Inn.
 
Right up there as one of the most STUPID post on DP!!!

I've read a butt ton of posts on here celebrating that Trump is trolling Liberals, posts taking joy that Trump is angering them. I wouldn't be surprised if you yourself have made such posts, clearly you've seen them. We all have. Other's make ridiculous posts in an attempt to mock those who call out Trump's blatant racism, or the racism of some posters.

So obviously it's not even a "stupid" post. The Atlantic is highly regarded, and is considered quite centerist, with a left-center bias.

The Atlantic:
Overall, we rate The Atlantic Left-Center Biased due to editorial position and High for factual reporting based on excellent sourcing of information.

Factual Reporting: HIGH



I think they nailed it.

Much of the Trump base are masters of projection, so I can see how you arrived at this conclusion.

its just a political hammer and Trump supporters are far stronger than McCain Romney and W when it comes to left wing BS.

stop breaking the law and you won't be in danger....simple.

Instead of saying something needs to be done to fix such a serious problem, instead of showing concern for the children, you rant and rave in your post, and launch into an attack.
 
OK, if that facility can handle 30 occupants then what should be done with the other 270?

That's what Trump's administration is supposed to have planned for when they decided to separate children from their families.

Come on ttwtt, it's called planning. It seems pretty obvious they didn't care enough to bother doing any.

Trump never plans anything at all. He just does whatever his last impulse was.

This has the stench of Steven Miller all over it. He did plan, is my guess, and this was his plan.
 
Thank You Mr Obama for executive order allowing Central Americans to claim refugee status and Obama Judge not allowing Trump to undo the executive order. THANKS DEMS

You are totally confused or simply misinformed about the Barack Obama 2014 Central American Minors Program. The program allowed lawfully present parents in the United States the opportunity to request a refugee or parole status for their children residing in the Northern Triangle: El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras
 
They've seen it. It's all over the internet, to which even Central Americans have access.

It does not work as a deterrent, which was the reason given for this draconian policy in the first place. Since we know it is not a deterrent, why are we continuing this failure of a policy?

because Obama signed executive order...and a judge said Trump couldn't over ride it

I've stayed in thousand dollar a night hotel rooms! Only twice but I've been there.
You never forget a hotel like that, I guarantee you.

I imagine a 700 dollar a night suite is pretty much the best suite to be had at most hotels. Not all, but most.

I'm very disappointed in the "Bible Belt" putting up with this crap. It makes me think evangelical is just another word they don't know. It's like they jumped into the bed with the Devil, so their states could pass some anti-abortion legislation that probably won't even make it thru a tRump Supreme Court, if it ever gets that far. What are they thinking? How dumb can they be? Are they asleep?
 
the women who answer their phones, ask for your zipcode and name and address. They all were sympathetic and had just the 'right' things to say. It made me understand, they were getting thousands of calls just like mine.

whoosh!
