It's GOP hypocrite time!!! Guess who said this:

"This facility at Fort Sill is a testament to the president's failed immigration policies...creating a crisis at our borders that is now spilling over to Oklahoma and Fort Sill. ...(The administration)...has an obligation to demonstrate to the public that conditions are safe for...children....This facility appears to be just the tip of the iceberg."

If you guessed then-Oklahoma Republican Governor, Mary Fallin*, you're the winner!!!

That same GOP today on Trump warehousing refugees at that same facility...?? <Sound of crickets....>

(* At Fort Sill, OK, 20 June 2014.)

and admonished by the Federal Judge who heard the case.

Among other things, kids weren't being given soap, toothbrushes, beds, blankets, and had to sleep in freezing conditions, with the lights on all night.

Just an FYI.

To be clear, it was very wrong then, and is very wrong now. But our 'sides' hands are not entirely clean on this whole matter.
