All that is probably because of the failure of Congress to appropriate the necessary funds to improve facilities. Why isn't that mentioned?
These are prisons for profit. You know, the kind of travesty that the Obama administration tried to get rid of, but Trump brought back with a vengence.
They are being paid more than $700 per day per child. Private enterprise who's getting paid no matter what (even though it violates Trump's Prime Directive of never paying his bills). Yet giving each child a toothbrush or decent meals each day is far too much to expect of these prison capitalists who are too busy enriching themselves through human misery (rake in obscene amounts of profit or provide actual essential services? Easy choice: profits, profits above all).
BTW, US citizens have been caught up in these raids. There's the case I heard of on the radio (sorry, when I'm driving I can't write down names) of a young US citizen in Texas carrying with him all the documentation he should have ever needed to prove his citizenship (something that brown people in Texas routinely have to do in response to Trump's abuse of ICE), yet he still ended up in ICE custody for months. Just trying to communicate with the outside world was virtually impossible. He was a skinny kid to begin with, yet he still managed to lose 28 pounds while in custody.
Also, there is no mention of the fact that there are organizations putting together these gigantic caravans to come here and overwhelm our facilities, and they must have lots of money for that purpose since they have to sustain the people on the trek here.
Such as who. Who are these mysterious organizations? And just who are funding them? The "Jews wanting to replace us"?
Walk a mile in their shoes (Wow! What a novel and revolutionary idea for a
Christian to even begin to consider!). You need to flee your own home country because of the intolerable level of violence that virtually guarantees the deaths of your children (BTW, since you obviously don't understand such human constructs, nothing surpasses a parent's concern for the welfare of his/her child) and the inability to make a living (I've been hearing reports of crop failures due to climate change causing food shortages). Trekking that far (far more than a thousand miles) by foot is extremely dangerous when done alone, where you find yourself and your children at the mercy of all kinds of thugs and far worse.
What is the solution? Safety in numbers; make the journey with others. Around some kind of starting area, gather with others thinking the same thing as you and you travel together as a group, everybody looking out for each other. Why would any of them seek to travel in a large group? Are you really unable to answer that question (knowing that your right-wingnut commentators upon whom you depend of all your thinking would never have discussed the question themselves)?
You say there are organizations putting all that together?
Who are they? Name them! Are they supposed to be the unnamed Jews whom the neo-Nazis accuse of wanting to replace us? Or are they just shadows that your right-wingnut handlers are scaring you with? Or both?
And I keep hearing how conditions under Obama were just as bad. Why isn't that mentioned?
Yes, Obama did deport a lot of people. Throughout the US justice system, when a parent is jailed and there is no relative to take the child in, that child goes to Child and family services, not into a lockup of his own. Plus, that child is tracked so that reuniting that child with the parent is still possible.
This information is presented as simple fact but there are facts behind the facts that aren't getting included, which of course makes it look like Trump and his people are evil, that's the whole point, and of course to railroad the nation into accepting a political position most oppose.
...
And I keep hearing how conditions under Obama were just as bad. Why isn't that mentioned? Oh never mind I know why.
Well, what Trump has been doing
is evil.
There are two federal statutes governing illegal entry into this country: the first time is a misdemeanor and the subsequent times are a felony. You normally don't jail somebody for a misdemeanor, but
the Trump Administration (under the guidance of resident anti-immigrant white-supremacist Stephen Miller) has made that misdemeanor subject to incarceration and hence to separating children from their families. That is a Trump move.
As I learned in the military, every evolution requires planning -- from Senior Chief Malcolm Nance we get Nance's Law: "Coincidence takes a lot of planning." Under Trump, there was no plan in place for eventually reuniting the families they were separating.
None whatsoever. Again, having been military for so long (35 years), my mind boggles at the sheer level of incompetence and lack of any kind of planning displayed by the Trump Administration here. Surely there must have been some veterans in their ranks who had some clue as to how to conduct this fuster-cluck Trump evolution in an even half-way proper manner. Sadly not, which given the qualities that veterans bring to their civilian jobs, could only have been because they were overridden by their superiors who were busy sucking up to the Trump Administration (the brown nose knows).
So then, what were the actual Obama conditions? What are the actual Trump conditions? Why don't you ever hear them mentioned? Oh never mind I know why. If your right wingnut handlers ever did that, then you might actually start to think and they cannot allow that to ever happen.
Everything about this is political but it's not treated as political, it's just supposed to be taken it as simple fact, no context, no explanation.
Yet again what you had run away from earlier. Your opinions are formed by listening to your right-wingnut propagandists. Our opinions are formed not only from what our commentators say, but also what the actual facts are. You see (or should see),
our commentators also display the simple direct facts in their presentations. Do yours? I didn't think so.
