The GOP has supported building mass concentration camps on the southern border. Kids & families are dying.Now they want money for more - w/ ZERO negotiation on how $ is spent.We can’t do that. They‘ve shown that when they get more money, they build more camps. #CloseTheCamps

#CloseTheCamps is trending. This is America in 2019.
"the older children are trying to take care of the younger...Guards are asking the younger children...'Who wants to take care of this little boy?'& they bring in a 2-year-old,a 3-year-old,a 4-year-old"

Judge (furious): “It’s really cold. It gets colder when they complain. They’re forced to sleep crowded w/ lights on all night long, on concrete floor w/ aluminum blankets. No one would argue that this is secure & sanitary.”
She opened the sweatshirt and the advocate gasped. It was a tiny baby, born premature and held in detention instead of where the advocate believes the baby should have been — at a hospital neonatal unit.
“You look at this baby and there is no question that this baby should be in a tube with a heart monitor,” said Hope Frye, a volunteer with an immigrant advocacy group who travels the country visiting immigration facilities with children to make sure the facilities comply with federal guidelines.

The border agents got so mad about a lost lice comb that they took away the children's blankets and mats.Children had to sleep on the floor as a punishment for losing the comb.
What have we become ?
