OP: Are they American?

Me: Yes.

OP: Meh.

It's all phony. Like someone posted - if they had been given soap and toothbrushes, and the parents were given champagne and caviar, the complaints would be about something else.
How do you know who helps American homeless children and who does not help homeless American children?

You are calling people phony for what exactly? Please elaborate.

The faux outrage is really nothing more than the materialization of self-hatred expresses as hate for her country. Therefore anything ‘other’ is more important and demands more attention.

I elaborated earlier in the thread when you asked me a question. These same posters never show concern for Americans who are suffering.

We cannot save the world. Sorry, folks, we just can't. We're struggling to do anything about the major issues we have with our current population. People - including children - are living on streets filled with feces and needles in cities in California. There's a huge human trafficking problem with children disappearing off the streets all over the country. Opiod addiction is an epidemic. Innocents are being gunned down in cities like Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore with no end in sight. And some schmoe in Canada is worrying about soap and toothpaste?

Enigma, do I really need to get more detailed than that?

America isn't even the OP's country. This is nothing more than fake outrage to trash Trump. If not this, the OUTRAGE and !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! would be about something else.

As if Canada has no issues for the OP to concern himself with.

She should advocate to open their borders. She can help to drive down wages for their workers and get cheaper stuff!

What kind of a humanitarian are you?

These are KIDS!!!!
You revel in aboutism don't you. If your going to take part in the discussion, address the issue and don't deflect.

Canada is doing it's part for refugees.

More than a country that is 10 times the size in fact. Not in relative terms, but in real terms, accepting more refugees than the USA. And Canada doesn't whine about it, but opens its arms and doors, with Caucasian residents gladly helping out people who look differently than them.

But then, Canada is not as Christian as the USA, so what would it know?

Never mind that they have to sleep on concrete floors, in near freezing conditions, only with aluminum blankets on them.

In court yet, under sworn testimony! I am just outraged, incensed that any thinking, feeling human being would dare think this, never mind say it under the threat of perjury.

Has empathy in the Trump administration for human beings, and especially CHILDREN sunk this low? Yes, AOC was right, these ARE concentration camps.

If you took off you TDS glasses and read the article you would see that the headline totally misrepresent this exchange between lawyers and judges arguing over legal technicalities.
