Also, did people miss the part about the lice combs being used by MULTIPLE kids? That is NOT OK.

The specific facility without toothbrushes and soap is 24 hour or less processing center.

What's not ok is trekking children thousands of miles across dangerous conditions to get a free ride.
it's not ok to try to enter the country illegally and expect to get in.

take it up with their parents. This is not the children's fault.

Also, you have no idea if they are all "illegal" or not. Presenting yourself for asylum is NOT illegal.

And how do you know they are looking for a free ride? Immigrants are majority hard working people who are grateful to be able to be here.

Over 80% don't meet criteria for asylum:
Here’s what the 2017 asylum rates said:

• Grant rate: 20.22 percent

• Denial rate: 33.51 percent

• Other closure rate: 27.66 percent

• Administrative closure rate: 18.61 percent

My kids used the same lice comb. You have to clean it between uses. Have you read that they're moving from kid to kid w/o sanitizing the combs in boiling water?

they're sleeping on the floor, without soap, with the lights on, under aluminum blankets. do you honestly think the BPD staff are santitizing the combs with boiling water?

EXACTLY. Anyone actually think the combs are being sanitized? GTFO.

If lice nuts are combed off they can’t reattach. So not a huge deal if they aren’t “sanitized” between combings.

I mean seriously, go f yourself and your f-ing word play.

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.

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

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.

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

Well according the law, dear Law Abiding citizen, they are, in fact, the same, but I’m not surprised you’re making excuses for yourself while demonizing others, even kids.

If you treated your kids like this someone would call CPS. But you know that and are just trolling.

I feel for the kids, but didn’t the parents consider the whole no soap/no blanket thing before leaving home? Why is it our job to provide?

Don't roll your eyes at me. Answer the damn question instead of speculating.

You are doubling down in your foxhole and are going down with your myth even as 300 kids have been moved to better conditions. If their was a fire, you'd be the one screaming the fire truck ran the red light.

Why would I troll? I've called CPS on a few occasions. I know what abuse is- physical, emotional, and sexual.

But you believe what you want. I really don't care.

I'm still asking what you want them to do. If there isn't enough space, for example, where do they sleep? And if they're in close quarters, they will continue to pass along lice and illnesses. Sleeping on a cot won't stop the lice, which takes DAYS to remove. Sleeping on a cot won't stop the spread of illnesses. Sleeping in close quarters won't prevent any sexual misconduct from occurring either.

I am sure these BP folks are frustrated and tired, and thus, taking some cruel measures. Of course that's wrong, but this job - similar to some military experiences - comes with its own PTSD. BP also have families - many of them - which means they themselves have to protect their health.

So it's easy to read a story in The New Yorker, for example, and then make a generalization about all detention camp conditions and all BP. I know, however, with 100% certainty that you would not last a day in that job. I don't care how compassionate you THINK you are, but it's easy to become hardened b/c of unbearable and unmanageable situations.

Lol. The kids had two combs, lost one, and lost their mats and blankets as punishment. Is all this focus on how simply boiling the remaining comb would make it all ok somehow helping you think this is all ok?
