Its just insanity now.

What should we do instead? Where would you like these people to be housed?

This.

Yet no one, no one ever replies to your question. EVER.

Except the homeless are free to move about, these people are in custody, they are dependent upon the people who guard them for everything - food, medical care, clothing, a place to sleep. It doesn't matter if you don't like these people, we don't generally like people who are on death row but most of us agree that they are entitled to the basic necessities of life.

Check out this article from NY times. These open-border leftists have no shame.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/29/o...detention.html


Basically the author is advocating violence or doxing against border patrol/ICE agents for their "crime" against migrant children. Yet, she attached to the article a picture of what appears to be well -fed and well- dressed migrant children.

Just a reminder - seeking asylum is legal, and they must be on US soil to ask for asylum. That's the law.


Entering the US illegally is a misdemeanor, not an act of war.

It's behind a paywall, maybe you could quote what you are referring to?

I’m sure where they are now is like the Taj Mahal compared to where they were living in their home country. Just sayin.

Also, I love how the lefties are always telling us that the majority of illegal immigrants are good, hard working people and we shouldn’t judge all of them based on the actions of the minority of scumbag criminals yet they have no problem vilifying all of the BP members of this secret FB page claiming that they are all awful, horrible people. So typical.

Maybe they'd prefer the streets of LA, then? So they can "move about" freely with the homeless American citizens there? .

These illegals have food, water, shelter and medical care. They even have toilets, so no one has to do their business in the streets.

I don't think anyone said all CBP employees are bad, but 9,500 of them joined a FB group and many of the comments were pretty awful...

Who were "the people" making the complaint?

The one who the BP agent said didn't know how to use the sink?

Apparently a number of the detainees had no place to lay down and go to sleep so yeah, I think they might be better off on the street. And given the number of children who have died or become seriously ill I'm not sure that medical care has always been delivered in a timely manner
