so you would rather leave them on the street to fend for themselves.
Sounds like hypocrisy to me.
You would rather have our own starve and die on the streets but take in ILLEGALS who should not be crossing the
border.

In any case, they're not caged in old Walmarts.

What do you propose we do about it, other than call DCF to investigate? You cannot go and take children from their parents on your own. Homeless children go to school and eat two meals per day, they are often given backpacks to take with food for the weekend, etc. There is free childcare and there are shelters. Most homeless kids don't actually live on the street; they live in motels with their parents or crash at the homes of relatives.
Contrary to conservative belief, it is possible to care about both American children and other children. I know, mind blown.

Please provide picture of foreign children being put in "cages" in old Walmart under Trump's watch. I'll wait!
Or should we just take it to be a collection of pixels and nothing more?
We would be committing suicide to take in every foreigner that wants to come here and you know it so since liberals and ethnocentrics think we should take them all in or we aren't Christians how can you even ask for examples there all right here in this forum calling us phoney Christians.
Either the Muslim community has read the New Testament and understood it and plans to put it into practice, or Islam is a genuinely caring and nurturing faith after all, in spite of what some would have us believe. Where are the Christians...?
They may be looking to create a new pool of sex slaves and laborers.
In a Burka who will know if they are children or short slave traders committed to the caliphate ?

You can see a photo of children in cages under Obama's watch and also under Trump's watch. These have been extremely widely circulated; not sure if you're being intentionally obtuse or if you have recently come to the surface...
Anyway, the point isn't really children sleeping on the street. If conservatives cared about kids once they graduated from fetushood, they would want to provide poor kids with medical care, housing, food, and all of their other needs. It's really just about pulling out the "what about HOMELESS WHITE CHILDREN???" card when someone expresses concern about homeless brown children. If republicans were trying to ensure that all kids had their needs met (i.e. were actually pro-life and not just pro-fetus), then I'd give more credence to the idea that American kids' needs should be met first. Since that is obviously not the case, the cries of "what about the CHILDREN?" can safely be ignored.

Yet there are still homeless citizens, homeless children of citizens living in shelters, living on the streets of America.
And your solution is to take these children of incarcerated illegal aliens who are being housed by vetted employees of the US government and release them to un-vetted individuals of the Muslim community? Just like that. No background checks, no way to track them.
