One night? I think one night is acceptable. They went without soap, a toothbrush, a blanket how many nights while traveling to cross the border?

Their parents risked these kids lives—they can survive without toothpaste. Give me a break.

No one said they couldn't "survive" without toothpaste. It just seems cruel to not give kids something as simple as toothpaste for hygiene purposes. We give toothpaste to homeless people all the time. They've survived for months without it too. Doesn't mean we can't be kind and give them some.

+1 Let the chlidren come to me said Jesus....I didn't read anything where he said once they are there, treat them without respect for basic hygiene.

I think I missed the part where he said "Give them a toothbrush."

I’m not Christian but from what I’ve read, I think Jesus would have shared whatever he had with poor, frightened children. The GOP is showing theirhypocrisy.

The GOP isn't in charge of the purse strings right now, honey.
Toothbrushes/soap/blankets don't appear out of thin air.
Right your congress rep.

It's actually not an imaginary line. It is a real line. Just like other countries all have.
And, these folks know where the line is and how to cross it.

Well how about this: the government is required BY LAW to provide "safe and sanitary" conditions, which is why the Trump administration lawyers are in front of the 9th Circuit to begin with. Don't give me that mealy-mouthed shit about funding when Trump is running off to his Trump-owned properties to the tune of $100 million expense to the taxpayers.

You're failing. Congrats.

How can you be sure it's something they use in their own homes?

I have never had an airline give me a toothbrush. Ever. I fly several times a year; typically 3-4 times internationally and another 2-3 times within the US.

most long flight >10 hr flights give those, plus fuzzy slippers and eyeshade things

Nope. They don't.

The ONLY time I have ever received a toothbrush is when our flight was canceled and we had to stay in a hotel room to catch a morning flight.
I have flown several times internationally. Never given a toothbrush.

I think this is one of the stupidest threads ever started. And, the irony is that it was started by a liberal - and it is the Democrats who are choosing not to vote to give border patrol more money to house and care for these kids.

+1 The blue wave can’t do crap but complain about Trump.

Dems were willing to give $25 billion for border funding. Trump said no because he doesn't want to negotiate anything in good faith.

Dems were willing to give the promise of 25 billion for border funding. Trump said no because Reagan said yes and Dems never held up their end of the bargain.

+1 million. The worth of a nation is how it treats its children.

The lack of humanity exhibited by the Trump administration is breathtaking. May they and their families rot.

I don’t know how some of you sleep at night. What parent could justify this kind of child abuse and not burst into flames?

Why don't Congressional Democrats authorize any funds?

Those poor children. It is heartbreaking. The story about the premature baby is killing me. I had a preemie. And he was given so much support and is now great. The idea that this poor baby is being kept in a dirty towel and basically being discarded is just too much.

Nothing more recent than a year and a half ago?
There's a CRISIS at the border, my friend.

How low we have sunk when we’re arguing about toothbrushes and soap and whether or not kids deserve these things when being held against their will by the US Government
