“The Trump administration has tapped Matthew Albence to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the wake of the sudden resignation of its former leader,” BuzzFeed News reports.

“Albence became better known after his appearance on Capitol Hill on July 31 during which he said that family detention centers were best described as ‘more like a summer camp,’ to the shock of some advocates and politicians.”

If he actually believes that he's a simpleton deplorable. I think that's not the case though. I think he's just another person with no humanity, ethics, morals, empathy - anything good about him.

Who else would take that job working for Stephen Miller?

of children at the border policy It was a "simple decision". That sounds a bit too much like a play on "final solution" to me. Now they are thinking of asking the illegal detainee parents if they want to be separated from their kids or do they want the whole family put in detention? That sounds very 'Sophie's Choice' as Sam Bee said last night. Looks like the Stephen Miller White House is playing all the 'hits' from 194 like you said. Only not the hits of the side that won the war.
