(493 posts)In a better world, this would be a scandal undoing an entire administration. In ours, its just Thursday.
Anyone that puts little children in cages just to get a wall deserves four walls, a stainless steel toilet and a 1-inch mattress. Given this admin. behavior they would continue to hold these children hostage even if their demands were met. Trump should be prosecuted for this alone. We will not forget who was complicit in traitor trump's crimes.
The world is watching.
Anyone else - in a school, a daycare, a camp - who was presiding over a massive program of child abuse such as this, would be required to resign. This is depraved. People need to go to prison. Id call this more than child abuse. Id call it torture.
14 month old boy separated from immigrant parents at the border, was returned after 85 days, covered with lice, had apparently not been bathed - part of lawsuits filed by states against Trump administration..
Records linking children to their parents have disappeared, and in some cases have been destroyed, according to two officials of the Department of Homeland Security. Destroyed!!!

Trump puts immigrant kids in camps. Then he calls them animals. "We're taking people out of the country -- you wouldn't believe how bad these people are," the president said Wednesday at a roundtable attended by the only Republicans from California. "These aren't people. These are animals."
Trumps disgusting & bigoted rhetoric is contrary to American values. It has has no place in the White House, no place in America.
