Sen. Jeff Merkley upended the immigration debate earlier this month after he visited a border detention facility in Texas and described maltreated children stowed in dog kennels, subjected to “trauma” by the federal government.
But a court-appointed compliance monitor visited the same facility weeks earlier and gave a much different portrayal, describing children snacking on apples, drinking milk and bottled water, and sitting around watching movies on television.
Far from trauma, the children said they got showers, brushed their teeth, got a change of clothes and were able to get some sleep on bed mats. They had a chance to call relatives, to speak with consular officials from their home countries, and to take needed medications.

I have an idea. Send the parents and the children back to their home countries. If the parents put up a fight say fine you go to jail for breaking our laws and your children go home without you.
Most people that get arrested for various crimes and go to jail always take kids with them. Right?
Yeah maybe there is a use for our empty K-Mart. Get the cages !
I don't need to spend other peoples money to correct this issue. They are screaming don't separate the children from their families. I know I'm just a dumb ass and accept that, but my thought would be if they don't want to be separated stay where you are, out of our country. I don't get it. If I don't feel like running into trouble, I merely stay away from it. Just my humble opinion.
The paradox with the Dems is that they are ultra pro abortion but will use this situation because "well, it's about the children". Total hypocrites.
