DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus ‘There Is a Stench’: No Soap and Overcrowding in Detention Centers for Migrant Children

An atheist trying to quote scripture is lame. Christianity isnt a pick and choose thing. Especially not by heathens.

If you were an actual Christian, you would know the bible says to obey the Government and follow the Law.

Nobody in this thread is disagreeing that conditions in the detainment centers needs to be fixed.

We are, however, mocking AOC for being an unprofessional idiot.

Yes, due to the fact that Congress has turned its back on those in need at our southern border the situation is becoming more untenable. Congress has not approved or released the necessary funds to feed and properly care for those folks.

So therefore I would like for you to tell the rest of us how to proceed with this growing humanitarian crisis.

Do we simply let them go into our welfare system?

Should we throw open our southern border and no longer have one?

What is your suggestion?

Nag those effers to do their job.

Its not hard, it takes 2 minutes.

Power to the people.

I and many others have been hounding them for years over this but they simply don't care. They have made the lives and well being of these people a political agenda.

We all know if the President could fix this by himself it would have been fixed long ago, but he can't.

Therefore, keep complaining and text resist bot.

Like they give a damn if you text them... You're delusional.

And if you NEED to call me names like 'heathen' for quoting scripture as an Atheist, then you should remind yourself of what you just said:



You can't choose to follow this bit about obeying the law while ignoring the bit I quoted to you! Christianity isn't a pick and choose thing! You can't have it both ways!

And if you really think this is true:



I would think your 'better Christian' (the compassionate bit) would kick in and see that the government is wrong and doing harm in this case! Saying 'yada yada liberals' and rolling your eyes does not change the horrible conditions that those children (all the detainees) are living in this very second! Would Jesus say "that's alright, Trump's got this!" if he were here today? Hell no. He'd be turning over tables in the temple...

And since we're on the topic, what does your bible say about those who would intentionally hurt or mistreat innocent children? I doubt you even know.

But hey, you do you and keep acting the fool because no matter how you trash talk my atheism or politics, I know history will have me on the right side of this one.

You Trumpians are making the Nazi comparisons more believable/rational by the minute. That's all I have to say to you about your snide ridiculous remarks in this thread Frauline Eve.

I think you're brainwashed if you actually believe anything you type.

I'm certain that brainwashed is not the right adjective.

You do realize I said it was a political ploy that both sides do, correct?

Words do have definitions as to exactly what they mean. There's a difference in what they mean and what people perceive them to mean. I explained that without taking a side on the matter.

Obviously you don't pay much attention to what posts actually say.

j/c

People wish to blame the immigration policy. Wish to blame Republicans or the Democrats. Sides get drawn. But let's put all that aside for just a moment and think.

If a child lived in your own home and you did not provide that child with soap to bathe with and and a bed to sleep in, that child would be taken from your custody. there is a very real chance you would be charged with child neglect. At the very least, your home would be deemed unfit for a child to live in under such conditions.

So no matter which side of the immigration debate you stand on, there's no excuse for these children being treated this way. These children didn't make the choice to come here. You simply don't treat children this way. You can blame their parents for bringing them here, but at this point they're in U.S. custody. At that point there's really no excuse for any of this.

The two parties are locked in a battle over immigration. That we may not be able to change for a while. But if everyone banned together, we could all make sure these children were at the very least provided minimum standard care. That would be a bed, blankets and soap to wash themselves with.

What has America come to if we can't all get on board with that?

I agree, but only one side is dehumanizing these kids and attempting to justify the deplorable conditions they are in.

Do share the adjective you have in mind. I'd love to hear what YOU think of me. I've shared my thoughts of you several times.

All I hear is blah blah blah, who cares about the brown kids... Then some GOPer insanity.

House lawmakers were scrambling to pass a troubled $4.5 billion funding bill to combat the escalating humanitarian crisis at the border -- with Republicans accusing Democrats of “playing games” with the crisis, and Democrats urging their GOP counterparts to “show some decency.”

The Senate already has a bill that would provide additional funding to improve border conditions, but the House is still working on its version of the legislation -- which would impose various funding restrictions including not allowing funding of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention beds.

-And the games continue.

STOP. Trump and McConnell are trying to leverage this to fund their agenda and Dems only want to address the issue. Meanwhile these kids are suffering. Deplorables!

Both sides need to resolve the humanitarian part of this, Trump already threatening to veto the bill the house is working on... smh

Pelosi is smarter than both those clowns. Nothing will pass with money for anything but the humanitarian aid. The rest is on the GOPers.

Trump's signature move is to create an issue then blame somebody else in a weak as attempt to negotiate... art of the deal! lmao@u

We both know it's not a clean bill to fix the situation of these children. But then again when has either party actually proposed a clean bill to solve an issue without an agenda added to it?

No, you make up an imaginary narrative and assign it to anyone who disagrees with your extremist views.

I have not said or done any of things you have accused me of.

You try to assert that Im a nazi because your twit AOC makes wildly innappropriate and offensive and wrong comparisons trying to compare some unsanitary conditions as equivalent to genocide of millions.

I have no doubt you hear something, but maybe stop with the acid trips so that you can start hearing reality.

See I can go tit for tat with the personal attacks too. When you take a seat from the incumbent 4th ranked GOPer in Congress, then you can tell me how lousy AOC is, until then stfu.

EDIT:

NO you don't win anything. Maybe a cookie for the grammar comment, but nothing else.

Okaaaaaaayyyy step away from the lsd.

I made an edit above.

j/c I thought personal attacks were not allowed ….maybe the refs should be notified

Why do you keep accusing me of using all the good drugs? I'm tired because I had almost no sleep last night, but I can only wish I was trippin.

Dont call the po po on us.

Notify them Riley. Not like you don't every chance you get anyway. I could use the break from y'all TBH.

There's meds for that. Talk to the Dr. But I know you know.

He can't help it, it's his NARCotic of choice.

I already have them, Ambien, and they suck. Take them and snooze for a bit, something wakes you up and then you feel drugged for hours.

So they moved 300 kids to different facilities. Supposedly better, probably a shell game.

US gov’t moves migrant kids after AP exposes bad treatment

The U.S. government has removed most children from a remote Border Patrol station in Texas near the border with Mexico following reports that more than 300 children were detained there and caring for each other with inadequate food, water and sanitation.

Only about 30 children remained at the station outside El Paso on Monday, Rep. Veronica Escobar said after her office was briefed on the situation by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection official.

Most of the infants, toddlers and teens who were held at the Border Patrol station in Clint, Texas, were scheduled to be transferred by Tuesday to shelters and other facilities run by a separate federal agency, the Office of Refugee Resettlement said.

Attorneys involved in monitoring care for migrant children who visited Clint last week said older children were trying to take care of toddlers, The Associated Press reported Thursday. They described a 4-year-old with matted hair who had gone without a shower for days, and hungry, inconsolable children struggling to soothe one another. Some had been locked for three weeks inside the facility, where 15 children were sick with the flu and another 10 were in medical quarantine.

“How is it possible that you both were unaware of the inhumane conditions for children, especially tender-age children at the Clint Station?” Escobar, a Democrat, said in a letter sent Friday to U.S. Customs and Border Protection acting commissioner John Sanders and U.S. Border Patrol chief Carla Provost.

Escobar asked to be informed by the end of this week what steps the officials are taking to end what she called “these humanitarian abuses.”

Lawmakers from both parties decried the situation last week.

Border Patrol officials have not responded to AP’s questions about the conditions at the Clint facility, but emailed a statement Monday that said: “Our short-term holding facilities were not designed to hold vulnerable populations and we urgently need additional humanitarian funding to manage this crisis.”

Although it’s unclear where all the children held at Clint were moved, Escobar said some were sent to another facility on the north side of El Paso called Border Patrol Station 1. Escobar said it’s a temporary site with roll-out mattresses, showers, medical facilities and air conditioning.

But Clara Long, an attorney who interviewed children at Border Patrol Station 1 last week, said conditions were not necessarily better there.

“One boy I spoke with said his family didn’t get mattresses or blankets for the first two nights, and he and his mom came down with a fever,” said Long, a senior researcher with Human Rights Watch. “He said there were no toothbrushes, and it was very, very cold.”

Vice President Mike Pence, asked about the unsafe, unsanitary conditions for the children on “Face the Nation” on Sunday, said “it’s totally unacceptable” and added that he hopes Congress will allocate more resources to border security.

Long and a group of lawyers inspected the facilities because they are involved in the Flores settlement, a Clinton-era legal agreement that governs detention conditions for migrant children and families. The lawyers negotiated access to the Clint facility with officials and say Border Patrol knew the dates of their visit three weeks in advance.

Many children interviewed had arrived alone at the U.S.-Mexico border, but some had been separated from their parents or other adult caregivers including aunts and uncles, the attorneys said.

Government facilities are overcrowded and five immigrant children have died since late last year after being detained by Customs and Border Protection. Two weeks ago, a teenage mother with a premature baby was found in a Border Patrol processing center in McAllen, Texas after being held for nine days by the government.

Government rules call for children to be held by the Border Patrol in their short-term stations for no longer than 72 hours before they are transferred to the custody of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which houses migrant youth in facilities around the country through its Office of Refugee Resettlement while authorities determine if they can be released to relatives or family friends.

Customs and Border Protection referred AP’s questions about the Clint Facility to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which said Monday that 249 children previously held in Clint would be moved to the agency’s network of shelters and other facilities by Tuesday.

″(Unaccompanied children) are waiting too long in CBP facilities that are not designed to care for children,” ORR spokeswoman Evelyn Stauffer said. “These children should now all be in HHS care as of Tuesday.”

This story has been corrected to show Pence was on “Face the Nation,” not “Meet the Press.”

If you pester your Dr enough, he will give you some Xanax for when nothing else works.

That's better. They need to quarantine the sick ones also, or they will all catch it.

Eve is smart and perty.

I was on Lorazepam years ago. Loopy meds. I wouldn't take Xanax if they paid me to unless the pain/stress was unbearable. I've actually gone off of most the meds they've had me on for the last several years. The pain is not much worse without them and everything else is better. Head is much clearer and I'm feeling better overall.

I don't think Eve actually agrees with you on a lot of things including the treatment of these children. And I'm also pretty sure you aren't going to get lucky. So you're wasting your time.

lol. He's just brown nosing to keep her off his ass. She scears him. And he would never cheat on Diam like that anyway.

Sorry I triggered you Pit,

My bad.

Ok, you are smart and perty too.

Better?

I don't even know to contact the refs and prob never will cause I blame myself for putting in a position to be slandered lied about and personally attacked and if anyone here can prove that I ever contacted the refs, prove it or as OCD puts it STFU .

I always consider the source. It's odd that you can't tell the difference in someone being triggered and someone making fun of you. But I'm not surprised.

Okay. So were just trying to get someone else to do it. Thanks for clarifying.

It's ok, we understand.

We? Is that the mouse in your pocket or the turd in your pants that constitutes we?
