Migrants at the border have been stripped of their dignity.

This is inhumane and cruel. Migrant people are being starved in U.S. custody.

It's truly hilarious to sit and watch both sides of this political shit show. Both sides lie to everyone, both sides are the most corrupt organizations on Earth, I often feel alone while watching you idiots actually feed into the politics. All you have to do is vote every 2 years, other than that 99.999% of your opinions don't matter. I think if we would pack all the baby boomers into the camps we'd see alot more peace. The same idiots running the show 25 years ago are the same idiots running the show today.(Congress , Senate and House of Representatives) just a different front man sitting in the white house...."The president's job isn't to wield power, but to draw attention away from those that do" - Douglas Adams ( Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy)

Arrest trump the racist, child molester and rapist for obstruction and treason IMMEDIATLY! Arrest his entire criminal traitorous administration and family! Reverse everything trump has done! ANYONE who supports trump is a traitor to America and it's values!

The despicable policies of this administration are just a reflection of the diseased mind behind them with an assist from the R party which has sold its soul for money and power. I've never been more disgusted with what this country represents than I am right now.

Me neither...for the first time in my life (even with all my depression), I feel like I am living in the twilight zone!

This is heartbreaking on so many levels, how can people in America be so cold and without heart? And...they seem to be the majority...how can that be? Earlier I attempted to read an essay contribution by Ann Colter on immigration, on one of the news sites and there is no doubt in my mind...it is she who has no ‘soul!’ And when she leaves planet earth, we will have one less ‘low life,’ to worry about! People needing refuge have more ‘soul’ on their calloused and dirty feet than Ann Colter has in the ‘whole of her carefully sculpted selfish body!’ It will rot like all of the rest of us in death, but her name will carry the ugliness of her soul, into history!

Yes. Vote republicans out of office!

And please hold Democrats accountable.

@Bobbyzen Yes. All politicians should be held accountable for what they do or fail to do. That's why I say that the Republicans, who do all they can to destroy the USA and the world, should be held accountable by voting them out of office.

I think @LiterateHiker knows I'm a conservative Republican. I respect her views and her right to encourage folks to vote Republicans out of office. That freedom is what makes our country work. So, with that said, I'll side with those saying the current treatment of potential immigrants is appalling. And, WE NEED IMMIGRANTS. Our birthrate is falling. To continue with an economic model where increases in productivity are vital, we need a growing workforce. Japan is a good example of the problem of lack of population growth. So, treating our potential new citizens this way is self destructive to our economy and our country.

Our country has lost it's dignity because of this horrible treatment of other human beings. VOTE out every Republican you can. They are a blot on this country and a blot on humanity.They lack courage and are morally corrupt as are those who support them.😟

What is happening at the border and throughout the country in concentration camps (sanitized version: detention camps) is horrific, and being done with our tax money. Worse, it's not just Republicans. Democrats won the House majority in 2018 and yet voted three weeks ago to expand the concentration camp system with $4.6 billion in "emergency humanitarian aid" - House Bill 3401 contains exactly zero accountability for how the money will be spent and how asylum seekers should be cared for and protected. With fresh funding, HHS will extract more children from families and funnel them into the for-profit foster-care system. CBP will expand their culture of abuse and ridicule. More and larger concentration camps will be built, others expanded. The list of atrocities is long, some described in the Slate article. As the majority, Democrats had to power to end these atrocities by refusing to fund them, but they capitulated to Democratic leadership and their donors, the for-profit corporations who take the money while asylum seekers suffer and die. This is a subject that touches me deeply, personally, with members of my extended family and in my community directly impacted. We need not only to elect Members of Congress who will do the right thing (which SHOULD be Democrats), but then we must hold them accountable for their votes. 95 Democrats understood the grave consequences of the bill and voted against it (including of course "the squad" - Tlaib, Omar, Ocasio-Cortez and Pressley). If you are represented by a Democrat, look at how they voted. Hold them accountable if they voted "Aye" on HR 3401. Sorry/not sorry for the rant. It's all so heartbreaking....

I spent time in S. Africa under the National Socialist regime This is getting that bad. The Dick with Ears is setting our country back 75 years in race relations. "it's funny how one insect can damage so much grain" He should be fumigated from the white house....

@scout123456 Indeed it has worsened under Trump. But we fail the asylum seekers if we think this is all about Trump and not about our pervasive systems that have been dehumanizing and mistreating immigrants for years. Here's a small snippet of conditions in the Obama administration: [npr.org]

Stop it now! End this GOP & trump hate! America has many problems. The most pertinent of which is trump and his treasonous family!

@Shoemaker This goes far deeper than Trump and unless we acknowledge it, unless we call on Democrats as well to shut down the concentration camps, defeating Republicans alone will not protect asylum seekers from harm.

Creating more problems instead of solving them

That is how they make and control the money.

Horrendous
