Republicans are Warehousing Babies in Cages - On the Taxpayer Dime

In addition to sadistically tearing children away from their mothers and fathers and traumatizing them for life, Republicans are warehousing babies, toddlers and older children indefinitely in private prisons where they have refused even a U. S. Senator the opportunity to view what goes on inside. (Would they also refuse the Red Cross or United Nations a tour?) For those who believe a Final Solution could never happen here, think again. This is what the party of "Family Values" is doing in all our names with our taxpayer dollars. In a true democracy, we would all have a say.

I cannot even begin to imagine a room full of 3 year olds speaking a different language plucked from their Mothers. Only monsters would allow this to happen or be willing to work in such a facility. When things begin to clear up there needs to be international trials against those who created and worked in this horror.

This is what we face...no way all these kids can be cared for properly, this is a crime against humanity and any who participate should be sent to the Hague for prosecution.


"In the United States, 1944, an experiment was conducted on 40 newborn infants to determine whether individuals could thrive alone on basic physiological needs without affection. Twenty newborn infants were housed in a special facility where they had caregivers who would go in to feed them, bathe them and change their diapers, but they would do nothing else. The caregivers had been instructed not to look at or touch the babies more than what was necessary, never communicating with them. All their physical needs were attended to scrupulously and the environment was kept sterile, none of the babies becoming ill.

The experiment was halted after four months, by which time, at least half of the babies had died at that point. At least two more died even after being rescued and brought into a more natural familial environment. There was no physiological cause for the babies' deaths; they were all physically very healthy. Before each baby died, there was a period where they would stop verbalizing and trying to engage with their caregivers, generally stop moving, nor cry or even change expression; death would follow shortly. The babies who had "given up" before being rescued, died in the same manner, even though they had been removed from the experimental conditions."

Are ICE and the HHS participants in a program to disappear the children of those who cross our borders without proper papers?

Didn't the director of the ORR(Office of Refugee Resettlement) state that it isn't their responsibility to keep track of children taken from their parents?

Let's face the facts no one has seen these children since they were taken from their parents...we know that Sessions of the DOJ and Nielsen of the DHS are following a zero tolerance policy! Are we so sure that the children are in good health or even alive!

When a US Senator is denied access to a detention facility ...in much the same way that the Nazis denied the Red Cross access...you have to wonder what's going on behind locked doors and blackened windows???

An obviously planned human warehouse. We are in the realm of crimes against humanity.
