[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is this thread a call to action or just wishful thinking, while Congress does nothing?[/quote]

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

Why won’t you?[/quote]

Because I'm not the one accusing others of not doing enough, while not doing enough. So many here volunteering their homes but not one physically mobilizing to go get these kids. But they feel so generous and woke just saying it.[/quote]

In other words if you know something terrible is going on in something run by the government just shut up because  there’s nothing you can do. Never mind that public outcry can make politicians act.

[b]Sorry you don’t care about 2 year olds sitting in their soiled diapers and eating uncooked rice in federal detention. [/b][/quote]

So here's an excerpt from Huff Post:

[quote]When the lawyers saw the 2-year-old boy, he wasn’t wearing a diaper and had wet his pants, and his shirt was smeared in mucus. They said at least 15 children at the facility had the flu, and some were kept in medical quarantine. Children told lawyers that they were fed uncooked frozen food or rice and had gone weeks without bathing or a clean change of clothes at the facility in Clint, in the desert scrubland some 25 miles southeast of El Paso.[/quote]

And this is from The Daily Beast:

[quote]The details come after acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner John Sanders admitted this week that the agency is over capacity and struggling to deal with unaccompanied migrant children. The agency is holding 15,000 people, he said, while 4,000 is considered the limit.[/quote]

How do you wish to address the additional 11,000 people?  I'll be waiting for an answer b/c clearly you are one hell of a brilliant person.[/quote]
