good grief.....you could not have looked at a picture of the "toilets" and said something that stupid

you got 2 choices:

AOC is a idiot..and thinks the toilet bowl water is pumped back up to the sink...

..AOC is not an idiot and knows it's all potable water...like the big signs say...knows what she's doing
and is playing to an audience she knows is that stupid

this is what the "toilets" are, the sink is on the top > https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D-buxO4XoAcgqWt.jpg

How do you know that? The report is that the sinks are not functioning.

A collective of Hispanic pastors visited the same facility as AOC and not surprisingly, had a rather different outcome and report.

“Rev. Samuel Rodriguez was "full of indignation" when he saw the reports and heard from politicians about the deplorable and inhumane conditions for illegal immigrants at an El Paso County, Texas migrant detention center. But what he saw at the same facility toured by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. with a group of pastors was "drastically different."

The president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, the world's largest Hispanic Christian organization, and senior pastor of New Seasons Christian Worship Center in Sacramento shared his firsthand experience touring a migrant detention center during a press briefing Monday read the reports, saw the news clips.

“I just wanted to see what was actually happening in order to better enable our efforts to find a fair and a just solution to our broken immigration system," Rodriguez, who has advised President Trump and both Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush on immigration reform, noted. “To my surprise, I saw something drastically different from the stories I’ve been hearing in our national discourse. Even as a veteran of immigration advocacy in the U.S., I was shocked at the misinformation of the crisis at the border."

Interesting...

Don't know what media you consult but much of them are crying out loud.

If these were not awful conditions, what MAKES you think that they could get out of it ? Example : children. How can they get out of it when they don't even know where they are ? Mothers ? how ? even if they wanted to, administration doesn't reunite them with their children ("terrorist" threats")

That comparison with concentration camps isn't that farfetched : "I didn't give the orders" , "None left, can't have been this horrible" (have actually read thad numerous times on CD), "blabla"

IF there is ONE thing that should distinguish humans is their ability to care.

You apparently have none whatsoever. Right in the camp of... oh wait... in internet ages, you won't even be able to pretend you didn't know... No need to reach the Godwin point. You did know and DIDN'T care. Same for all the rest of you.

I'm not sure about what any god would say but certainly sure of the internet, all your words are here to stay. Think about them. Words and actions mean something. These posts might very well be your very own star.

Not that it would be deserved. Who would deserve such a treatment ?
A few things to keep in mind:
After working extensively in Central America for years, I found a good portion of the population has never even seen a toilet, certainly not able to figure out how to flush it.
How can a representative make the claims she has without even touring the facilities?
Even if the conditions are bad, how can a member of Congress who refused to provide funding to make things better complain?
Oh gee, how awful, border agents calling some representatives like AOC Scumbags when these same members of Congress are all over the news calling the Border Patrol and ICE Nazis.

We're not even talking about names here.

We're talking about these BP members representing her on a forum performing oral sex on a migrant (willingly, if I may comment on the horrible set-up pictures) and UNWILLINLY by a thrump personage like "that's what you asked for", some of them even added "now be nice, girl" and such the like...

Do you think they will share the video with the world?

This, whatever, is being done in our name with taxpayer dollars. It's not the Manhattan project.

For what we pay per individual, they could put them all up at the Holiday Inn. And save money, even with staffing. What is happening in those centers would not be allowed at any school or child care facility in the country.

Hell, I had to keep sleeping Girl Scouts at least 6 feet apart while camping for breathing purposes.
