OP, here. Yes, I have. I volunteer regularly and this would be a luxury to what I am seeing for our homeless.

Maybe instead of wasting your time whining about refugees like someone with no class or morals, you should buy a ping pong table off craigslist and donate it to the shelter you volunteer for.

.

. When people have no moral leg to stand on to stand on, they too often resort to personal attacks on those who are actually doing something instead of just pontificating.

Maybe someone who makes the effort to post an incredibly misleading thread on an anonymous message board is just pathetic and needs someone to let them know? What is OP's agenda here?

There is nothing misleading in OP's post.

OP's post, and the subsequent posts by her and her buddies, claim that this facility is somehow "better" than what is offered to American citizens. I doubt that OP and her ilk actually have a detailed knowledge of what kind of support and programs are available to poor Americans to begin with, but if you watch the video, these "suites" are no Holiday Inn. They are basically clean prison cells that are painted in cheery colors. This seems like a minimum type of humane treatment to people who are being detained and have not committed a violent crime.

I report your posts immediately when I see them now. Don't bother if you have nothing to contribute.

Me and "my ilk"? You mean those of us who are ACTUALLY working with America's homeless population instead of just pontificating on an anonymous message board?

NP who also volunteers at a homeless shelter.

OP, seems to me that you lost the high ground when you made this post about illegal immigrants and their treatment.

If you want to be a positive advocate for the homeless populations, perhaps that should have been the focus of your OP. Something like "More fundng and resources needed to help the country's homeless." Instead, first you rant about a populations that is in dire need of resources. When you get called on it, you tried to shoehorn in the homeless. If you carely were advocating for the homeless, that should have been your lead IMO

As the old adage goes, "Instead of fighting against something that you do not believe in, fight for something that you do believe in. A subtle difference with a huge impact."

Oh dear, seems I hit a nerve! Too bad, OP, your attempts to use homeless people as an excuse for your miserable stinginess with refugees did not fly!

Again, I encourage anyone concerned with the luxurious accommodations for Central American refugees to actually WATCH the video in OP's original link and see that they are NOT "suites" in the traditional sense of the word.

I dare say we are still much better off than the majority of the countries in the world.

Not for long. Fundamental change will ensure this.

No kidding. Good grief. What conditions would some of you prefer the immigrants be kept in? IME, kids that are provided with activities/schooling are less likely to get into trouble. And where can you even buy non-flat screen TVs these days?

For those that keep saying variations of "send them back immediately", that's not the way it works right now. These people need somewhere to stay until they are processed. If they had been turned loose or over to families you'd be complaining about that!
