look, if you don't want them called "concentration camps," then you will have to provide a basic level of safe and sanitary conditions, as well as appropriate conditions for children.

I'd like rural americans to have better access to health care. However, problems with US health care are not that we don't spend enough money. So you can drop that point that you think is so persuasive (because it is not).

Finally, immigrants are a net positive contribution to the US economy.

In its July 24, 2015 Order, this Court found that “[i]n light of the voluminous evidence that Plaintiffs have presented of the egregious conditions of the holding cells [at Border Patrol Stations], . . . Defendants have materially breached the Agreement’s term that Defendants provide ‘safe and sanitary’ holding cells for class members while they are in temporary custody.” 212 F. Supp. 3d at 882. The Court referred to Paragraph 12A of the Agreement, which provides that class members shall be held in “safe and sanitary” facilities following arrest. Such CBP facilities, where class members spend one to several nights before transfer to a family residential center (accompanied minors) or to the Office of Refugee Settlement (unaccompanied minors), must “provide access to toilets and sinks, drinking water and food as appropriate, . . . [and] adequate temperature control and ventilation.” Agreement ¶ 12; see also 6 U.S.C. § 279. The conditions at these facilities must also be “consistent with the INS’s concern for the particular vulnerability of minors.” Agreement ¶ 12A.
At the time of the Court’s July 24, 2015 Order, Defendants relied solely on their Hold Rooms and Short Term Custody Policy as well as a single declaration from a Border Patrol officer to support their position that they satisfied the Agreement’s standards. 212 F. Supp. 3d at 881–82. Moreover, they argued that it would be impossible for them to provide the same level of care at the Border Patrol stations that they offered at longer-term facilities due to the short duration of stay at the Border Patrol stations and the large volume of individuals that pass through. Id.
Here, Plaintiffs argue that Defendants continue to detain class members in deplorable and unsanitary conditions in violation of the Agreement. Plaintiffs present voluminous testimony from class members in the form of declarations and deposition excerpts, which attest to the unsafe and unsanitary conditions at the CBP facilities in five different categories: (1) inadequate food; (2) inadequate access to clean drinking water; (3) inadequate hygiene (bathrooms, soap, towels, toothbrushes); (4) cold temperatures; and (5) inadequate sleeping conditions.

Anyhow- after that the other half is remaining. Being mindful that we bring in about a trillion less in taxes than we are projected to spend- and a massive deficit on which we are paying interest. So we are basically living on borrowed money that our kids will need to "pay back".. how much of that should we dedicate yearly to hosting border visitors?

It doesn't stop there. As liberals continue to allow these people to live here illegally, they then deliberately create pockets of poverty all over the nation, then scream "it's not fair!" as a way to redistribute the wealth of legal citizens and natural born citizens of this country.

I've got one. The migrant children are given electronic toys. What type of toys did the Nazis give the Jewish children before they marched them into the gas chamber?

What electronic toys? Child advocate Lawyers had to come in to a facility before the government workers would take four sick toddlers, one completely non-responsive to the hospital. America is capable of treating children better.

Simply disgraceful. Toddlers in internment camps. Anne Frank is rolling over in her grave.

Based on what I've read, this place is super strict, which makes the kids squirm. When you house kids from different countries, you have to be careful. They're teens . . .

Unfortunately, this is a for profit, but it's better run and as a result, much costlier. $775 a day per child (ages 13-17)

Isn't that what you all want? better facilities that are efficient?

If so, then as we welcome more and more kids (This facility costs about $1.2m a day.), be ready to pay a for-profit agency to house them, feed and clothe them, educate them and process them.
