(8,983 posts)There is no other rational reason they would do something like this
It's disgusting, and I think it's much worse than we know.
There is a reason they are denying everyone, even elected US Senators access to the facilities
This is unbelievable
Hope you are doing well Rhiannon, sorry if I sound harsh, this has me pissed off royal!!

(206,128 posts)I find it unbelievable that this kind of policy would even cross anyone's mind! What have we become that anyone, anywhere is not as horrified as we are - and that any American would cooperate??
KelleyKramer
(8,983 posts)What have we become? Who will support this?
This reminds me of the Newtown school shooting, if they won't do anything to protect even the little kids, then that's it.. they really are craven monsters
We have to stop this

(206,128 posts)How anyone could stand to face the reality of that horror show was completely beyond me. And now this?? Taking infants from mothers?? People seeking amnesty was more than enough for me, but this insanity - I don't even have a word for such an abomination - is totally beyond anything that we could ever have imagined! If this isn't the breaking point - and the intense news coverage looks like we're getting there - then nothing is!

(8,983 posts)If it's not a breaking point then we are over the top
That's why it needs to stop here
Anyone, especially any politician that supports this should be attacked for having no human decency!
Rhiannon12866
(206,128 posts)But not even I could have imagined this! Who possibly could have? He was just about right when he boasted about his being able to shoot someone in public with no consequences! And this isn't just one life, it's now thousands and, as they keep saying on the news, growing in numbers by the day! And I sure share your feelings - anyone who supports Trump should be not just finished in politics - but ostracized as a human being!

(30,765 posts)some of these tender age children become ill. It does not even have to be the babies and toddlers!
Someone will get the flu. They will have diarrhea. Someone will get bronchitis or pneumonia. The illness will spread, because they are crowded together and there are so few qualified care givers. Someone will need emergency medical treatment and not get it in time. Children will die. Just wait.

(11,885 posts)They're are showing their intent is to lose them in their system , not give them back to their parents. America's nightmare on Pennsylvania street just continues until the feckless republicans grow a spine and stand up to trump to say NO MORE.
