Immigrant children forced to sleep on floors and in cages

The internet has been in uproar over shocking images of immigrant children forced to sleep on the floor in metal 'cages' by ICE.

Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau, former LA mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and several high profile journalists, including NYT Mag's editor-in-chief Jake Silverstein, were quick to condemn the photos.

Favreau warned that 'the only debate that matters', after seeing those photos, was 'how we force our government to get these kids back to their families as fast as humanly possible.'

The photos showed pictures of young children, separated from their parents, and forced to sleep on mats on the floor at two separate detention centers in Brownsville and Nogales, Texas.

One picture showed dozens of children sleeping under small pieces of foil, in a large room, surrounded by metal fences. There appears to be no toys or books for entertain the young children who had been separated form their families.

“Speechless, this is not who we are as a nation,' added Villaraigosa.


But today saw an embarrassing climb down from the outrage of yesterday, as people realized the images actually date from 2014, under the former administration - although it still reveals some of the shocking conditions ICE detainees have been forced to endure by ICE, (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

Another stab at attacking Trump, when these photos were taken under the Obama administration.

Where was the outrage then?

While activist and Intercept columnist Shaun King tweeted that it was an 'abomination' adding that children were 'being held in cages, like dogs.'


Shaun wasn’t paying attention and/or didn’t care that this was the norm under Obama.

But now Trump is in charge...hypocrites.

My understanding is that during Obama's term, these children arrived alone as unaccompanied minors. So there was no separation from parents effected on the U.S. side, and there was also no "family reunification" in the cards as it wasn't readily known where the parents where. This was the time when the waves of unaccompanied children were crossing the border.

So if parents are willing to allow their kids to take this dangerous trip alone, why is separating families so horrible?

Exactly

And further, if these were the American children of... say, Trump supporters.... the self righteous pearl clutches here would be DEMANDING these kids be forcibly removed from their parents for being sent on such a dangerous journey.

Remember- a woman in Silver Spring very nearly lost her 8 and 10 year old kids to the state simply for letting them walk a few blocks to the store. Why? Because people said she was an unfit mother to allow them outside alone.

But somehow it's perfectly ok for Guatemalan parents to tell their 9 year olds to walk all the way through Mexico to California. And THAT's not cause for removing them from their parents. Nah.... no. Nope.

These individuals are human beings Just because some people sent their children across the border unaccompanied does not mean it is alright for the US government to separate other children from their parents as a deliberate policy to deter illegal border crossings
This is what I personally find so appalling- the callous disregard for the well-being of the missing children and the eagerness to deliberately separate children from their parents as a form of punishment and deterrence

Why isn't Mexico intercepting these unaccompanied children and giving them amnesty? Why are they allowing these children to travel all the way through THEIR country without helping them? Why is the U.S. to blame for this when they reached Mexico first?

Riddle me that.

[Anonymous]

And it's interesting how people here say that Mexico is a vibrant, first world country, filled with super smart, hardworking people we should be begging to come here..... yet, at the same time... is so dangerous that we should be extendeding asylum to anyone who can "escape" it.


How's that work?!?!

So, if kids are by themselves and have no protection at all they can be warehoused in cages and given pieces of foil instead of blankets?
You just gave yourself out, humanitarian lol:

This thread is priceless. I expect it to have very few comments.

Why Obama locked them in cages like dogs then?

Actually, Humane Society provides an elevated beds for hips and shoulders health, REAL blankets and toys to dogs. Obama locked these kids in cages like no dog is locked in this country.

But keep talking about how bad Trump is lol:

Mexico does not give any handouts to any migrants. It does tolerate migrants who are heading to the US and don't cause them trouble.
Right now Mexico is pissed that illegal immigration is been stopped cold. Hundreds of millions of $$ that is transferred every year by Mexican illegal immigrants back to Mexico will disappear. It's a great boost of Mexican economy right now and Mexico does not have to take care of it's poor - sweet deal (for Mexico).
That's why ALL FOUR Mexican presidential candidates pledged to flood the US with illegal immigrants from their south of the border countries.
It's a war.

These pictures depicting the treatment of minor illegal immigrants under the Obama administration proves that liberals are hypocritical liars.
Parents have no problem sending minor kids alone to the US. None. The actual parents don’t care if they are separated from their kids, but the Trump administration is “separating” families and hurting kids? Yeah, right.

Obama kenneled kids a not ONE thread addressed that here. Why? Liberals did not care.
They only care about the situation now they can hysterically use it to try to pretend Trump is doing something bad.

The issue of kids and illegal immigration is just political theater.
