If they 2.2 mil diapers, why are we sending them in packs of 400?

Government, step up.

Big corps, take a minor hit and fulfill the diapers.

Jeff Bezos and the Walton family aren’t responsible for these people.

If our government allows people to claim asylum, it’s their job to provide the 2 million diapers.

And caregivers and food and clothing.

Diapers dont change themselves. To properly care for children takes a huge investment. I would seek help from the UN, doctors without borders etc. If Congress has zero solutions, we still need to treat these people humanely. My mom spent 4 years living in US army tents in a refugee camp, as did many folks who immigrated (legally) to the US. We need a process that treats people as humans; they need patience and to understand that entrance is not guaranteed if they dont qualify for asylum.

The UN and Doctors Without Borders are going to leave 3rd world, war torn countries or countries that have been destroyed by war or natural disaster to help people who voluntarily put themselves in less than stellar situations? I don’t think so.

Does the AP know this?

I assume so, since they are smart people. But, they are reporting on a Court hearing, where the Trump admin argued that no matter how much money we allocate, toothbrushes and soap are luxuries that they do not intend to revise.

No, the liberal press is misconstruing what transpired. As usual. The judge referred to an overnight stay and said toothbrushes and soap aren't necessary depending on length of stay. You think we need to hand out toothbrushes and toothpaste the instant they get here? The system is overwhelmed, and these children's parents took them on a long journey without toothbrushes. Now liberals are having a fit because Americans aren't distributing them the first night. They did without them for weeks; they can go without them for one more night.

Don't you people understand that the system is being overwhelmed with all these false cases of asylum?

I didnt ask them to leave. I asked them to open up a new facility. The fact is, we have a resource shortage and a crisis at the border.

How many new facilities can we build?
And where exactly?

Im sureJordan, Turkey, Syria and Greece asked the same thing. You build them where it's most economical to administer. I'm fine with Trumps plan to immediately remove these visitors to wait in Mexico, or to encourage the application of asylum.from home country as well.

The folks here could caravan to the border or a drop off station to pick up kids and/or families. They won’t.

I just feel so helpless and sad, honestly. I have always wondered what I would do if - just for example - Hitler came to power, and I wasn't personally in danger. And now I know - I would post a lot to social media, talk a lot to friends, vote. And sit here complacently while we do the unthinkable to the innocent.

You would be rounded up and killed. There would be no vote. Study history

Know what I don’t see? The governments of these countries coming forward to care for their own. Imagine that!

WTF, you think children don’t need soap, toothpaste, and a cot upon arrival? Yes, a 4 year old is falsely claiming asylum.

Where is your humanity?

It is very unfortunate things have deteriorated so much under Trump. This is a human rights crisis.

Sweetie that’s because you don’t read much.

Doctors without borders already operates in Mexico..I'd much rather fund and expand their mission than these privatized immigration centers. The UN and DWB have 70 years of experience in housing and caring for massive groups of people in need.

I wonder if the UN will sanction the US.

[Anonymous]

Deplorables with a justification for the unjustifiable.

And we’re crazy for being outraged about children being held like this. As a mother, this nonsense absolutely destroys me.

Why is a 2 year old in a facility alone? That child clearly did not come over unaccompanied.

I think our government is continuing to lie to us about what they are doing and is fudging Numbers. They have moved a lot of these people to military facilities so access is damn near impossible.
