Government photos show detained migrants pleading for help

HOUSTON (AP) — In one photo, one of 88 men in a cell meant for 41 presses a piece of cardboard against the window, with the word "help." In another, a man lowers his head and clasps his hands as if in prayer. And in a third, a woman wearing a surgical mask presses both of her hands against the glass.

The images were released Tuesday by U.S. government inspectors who visited facilities in South Texas where migrant adults and children who crossed the nearby border with Mexico are processed and detained.

As public outrage grows over the conditions in which thousands of people — some no more than a few months old — are being held by the U.S. government, the report offered new cause for alarm. It quotes one senior government manager as calling the situation "a ticking time bomb."

"Specifically, when detainees observed us, they banged on the cell windows, shouted, pressed notes to the window with their time in custody, and gestured to evidence of their time in custody," the report says. BuzzFeed first reported on a draft version of the report, which blurs most faces in the photos.

COMMENT:-

If you don't like the way that that left-wing, loony, liberal, socialist, pinko, commie, so-called "Associated Press" has distorted the true facts, then you can always read the true facts HERE.

Just take a look at the fantastic conditions that those guests of the US government are being hosted in. Then compare them with the horrendous conditions in Obama's Concentration Camps and you can see what a vast improvement Mr. Trump has made in the living conditions of those illegal immigrants who want to destroy America and American society.

Funny that congress seems to be dead set on NOT providing funds for additional bed space when the problem is so obviously over crowding.

I wonder why that is?

Bed space isn't going to fix the over crowding situation. Trump's policies are the problem.

More and larger facilities won't help with over crowding?

Okay...
 
I bet you think more jails will reduce crime rates too. :lamo

I bet you think that what you just wrote is relevant to the topic and not some half assed diversion.

I don't know but seems like congressional progressive leftists like AOC are quite okay with the overflow of migrant refugees sleeping on concrete floors.
Some of these people defy logic.

Ever hear of bunk beds, trundle beds?
Of course it would help and yes, Trump was reluctant to sign the aid bill that limits funds for detention beds but you go ahead and defend the wacky politics of partisan Democrats who talk out of both sides of their pieholes.

Yes, we know cons like yourself don't understand analogies.

Here's a hint, the problem isn't bed space. It's Trump's policies that are the problem. But go ahead and think rounding up illegals in concentration camps is the solution. Cons like you are what allow dictators to come into power.

I understand analogies just fine. Yours, however, was not analogous to anything happening at the border. I was pretty much just dumb.

Then I suggest that migrants not break the law and remain in their crime, poverty infested country from which they came. Keep thinking with your heart and keep ignoring the rule of law.

What specific policy of Trump's is creating this problem?

Trump policies? You mean enforcing U.S. Immigration Laws? What policies would those be that force people to cross over our border ILLEGALLY? The term illegal seems to be a problem for you

Ad homs and personal attacks aren't doing anything to strengthen your debate.

My apology I posted number 14 before reading yours. Cannot wait for the left to tell us what Trump policies are creating these so called problems?
 
Maybe the wall he wants should be walls, and walls of shelter rather than barriers or incarceration...

Thanks for sharing your idiotic comment.

It's called truth. And the truth I provide is better than any Trump hero worshipping tripe you've provided.

You can enforce policies without treating human beings like vermin. Learn it.
 
Keep buying the left wing bull****

Your brand of truth is built on subjectiveness.
