I'll say it again: if your justification for government-sanctioned child abuse is that they crossed a line on a map, on rock floating in infinite space, you are failing as a human being. You just are.

I’d like to think they’re just trolls, but unfortunately there are truly people who think that if you/your parents committed a misdemeanor trying to seek asylum and a safer, better life, then you deserve to be treated like sh1t.

re-posted b/c of formatting:

I'd say there's "government-sanctioned" child abuse in foster care situations and in juvenile detention centers. Where's the uproar? Most of the kids in juvie are black - and interestingly enough - Native American males. The majority of the kids in foster care are white, however, but black kids are second.

Again, where's the uproar?

We can multi-task, but stick to the subject.

Soulless. I'll take your criticism and raise you one: law-abiding.

So, you think that people should abide by the law? All people? All laws? Even those that would be considered misdemeanors?

Really? You’ve never even crossed against the light? Because in some jurisdictions that’s also a misdemeanor, and you therefore deserve to be locked in a cold cage without care or hygiene products for weeks. Tough but fair I guess.

Oh, and this is assuming all those families actually crossed illegally. Presenting yourself at the border and requesting asylum is not a crime. It’s how you’re supposed to do it.

This is a sad, desperate comparison. Entering a country illegally and jaywalking. Yeah, sure, totally comparable.

I’d like to think they’re just trolls, but unfortunately there are truly people who think that if you/your parents committed a misdemeanor trying to seek asylum and a safer, better life, then you deserve to be treated like sh1t.

Except the caregivers are giving the best care they can with the resources they have. You got a problem with that? Go to a mission in South Texas right now and I promise your help will be welcomed with open arms. But, nah, you are just gonna complain how the taxes I am paying (I get the impression you don't pay much if any) to the people who aren't trained child care givers or certified bed and breakfast operators aren't good enough for the humanitarian crisis at the border. No one is listening to your concerns because you are pissed when the sun rises.

You'd complain that a paramedic couldn't perform open heart surgery.

The whole point of the thread is lost: no toothbrushes or soap for one night in a temporary holding facility.

*yawn*

That's .... not how the constitution or the court order work.

Why are Congressional Democrats allowing this to continue?

While some Trump policies like family separation are absolutely new and worse, the worst aspect of Trump is the dehumanizing rhetoric used as a wedge political issue. That's the terrifying innovation. However, I agree with the main point that Democrats are hypocrits, and most American people are dumb about this stuff. Americans (left and right) generally know very little about immigration & foreign policy, and the approaches differ less than you would think between parties.

(Which, by the way, Americans are so incredibly manipulable when it comes to foreign policy and immigration.)

we have to separate them, a good number of kids being brought here are fraudulent and not with their parents

Why do democrats condone kidnapping and fraud?

I am saying international law allows for borders and for borders to be protected. Now, you don't want borders "on rock floating in infinite space." Fine. Go back to the natural laws of the hunters and gatherers. Our forebearers in the pre-agricultural society just left those who couldn't keep up behind. You want to go back to that? I hope you aren't funny looking because that was one reason to get knocked off. You wanna get all "floating rock without borders?" You are welcome to find a society who doesn't believe in such silly things. This ain't it.

International law requires that detained children be treated humanely. I don't think you're on the right path with that argument, buddy ...
