Chain Link Kennels and Fences Are Great for Dogs.

We have such a fence in our back yard, to keep the doggies from running around the neighborhood. They don't live there, though. We let them in the house whenever they want to be with their human family, which is almost all the time, actually.

Chain link cages and fences are not for children whose families are separated from them. They are not suitable for living quarters, either. Armed, uniformed guards are not their parent, in any case.

Uncage the migrant children!

They have large open areas for them to roam, play and sleep.


Trump's government is so damned evil that they refuse to treat children as well as zoo animals.

This has to stop before it gets any worse.

By the way, I believe Godwin's Law has been suspended for the duration. All references to Hitler are right on point.

Dems must speak loudly, rdpeatedly, and in sentences that would fit on a bumper sticker. That is the only way most Americans will hear them. It's exactly how the GOP does it.
