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.

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.

He’s president. He gets to golf. You get to pay for it.
They’re here illegally. They don't get to brush their teeth, it’s not the Hilton ffs.
Maybe next time emigrate legally?

Didnt Obama golf? If youd like to change the law that presidents shall only golf at camp David or other already provided for facilities- have at it. Should apply to all presidents. Meanwhile, this has nothing to do with golf.

I've got one. The migrant children are given electronic toys. What type of toys did the Nazis give the Jewish children before they marched them into the gas chamber?

Thank you Mexico for chiming in. I’m ashamed of you also.

I opened this thread ready to be angry at Trump but was shocked to find out these conditions date back to the Obama era. If that’s true, he’s not getting anywhere enough bashing for it.

It's true. The case being argued was about an Obama camp.

Based on what I've read, this place is super strict, which makes the kids squirm. When you house kids from different countries, you have to be careful. They're teens . . .

Unfortunately, this is a for profit, but it's better run and as a result, much costlier. $775 a day per child (ages 13-17)

Isn't that what you all want? better facilities that are efficient?

If so, then as we welcome more and more kids (This facility costs about $1.2m a day.), be ready to pay a for-profit agency to house them, feed and clothe them, educate them and process them.

[Anonymous]

So that is about 375 million, for this one facility, per year. And how many do we need?

What electronic toys? Child advocate Lawyers had to come in to a facility before the government workers would take four sick toddlers, one completely non-responsive to the hospital. America is capable of treating children better.

It is so nuts how people will try to justify any of this. Humans are such garbage sometimes.

This again.

People who sincerely care and track these issues were very critical of Obama. “Deporter in chief”

But that’s irrelevant now. Obama is no longer in charge. This is happening now, under Trump, and under a Dem house, and under all of us. We are all responsible for this.
