Undocumented Americans

When you visited the border patrol facility where Jakelin was detained, what did you see? What was it like?

I saw conditions that were subhuman, and that lack the basic respect for human dignity. I saw many infants, toddlers, women and elderly cram-packed into a cold, windowless concrete room — where they were so packed that you couldn’t see the floors. We had infants without diapers soiling themselves. You had elderly coughing, children coughing, in that room.

There were open toilets without privacy. People did not have the capacity to freely move, to go to a sink where there was soap, so they can wash their hands. They lacked basic foods — like baby formula, or baby food or any age-appropriate foods for the elderly. So there [were] very substandard conditions that lacked basic principle of human dignities.

Would be more appropriate to give this a “:rage:” or “:face_vomiting:” but I guess it will do

There’s a big fat weasel-word there: Could. If they actually, you know, cared and got right on it.

The filing late on Friday outlined for the first time the Trump administration’s plan for identifying which family members might have been separated by assessing thousands of records using a combination of data analysis, statistical science, and manual review.

"They used dogs. They used probes. They used cardioplate crossoffs. They used teepers. They used bribery. They used stiktytes. They used intimidation. They used torment. They used torture. They used finks. They used cops. They used search&seizure. They used fallaron. They used betterment incentive. They used fingerprints. They used the Bertillon system. They used cunning. They used guile. They used treachery. They used Raoul Mitgong, but he didn’t help much. They used applied physics. They used techniques of criminology.

And what the hell: they caught him." Harlan Ellison, “Repent, Harlequin!” Said the Ticktockman

Aren’t companies getting a lot of money for foster-warehousing some of those kids? How about following that?

From 2007.

It isn’t just the GOP. It isn’t just Trump.
