Detention Centers Now and Then

drklrd Loc: Cincinnati Ohio

I love the truth! Thanks for spreading it around. Now we need to get people to understand that children are taken away from mothers who are citizens of the USA but have been convicted of felonies or other crimes and then sent to jail. We need also for those who do not understand that the ones in the detention camps are law violators because they entered our country illegally. Thanks for sharing.

So you have no problem with detention centers? People in fenced in. And the 2nd shot is a CU of what looks like for kids or a family room.
The press has shown both recently. The cozy rooms with blankets and the fenced in holding pens.

Now you will say they are breaking the law. Hey for years we have been letting or turn a blind eye towards millions of immigrants workers
that are a big part of the American economy. Picking crops. Landscaping. Slaughterhouses etc. California restaurants are full of these workers.
The men who clean the grounds where I live are great gardeners. They are from Central America. Mar Lago uses these
workers by keeping a low profile in a local newspaper classified section so no one will know where they get the help from.
Farms have said they won't have anyone to pick produce without these immigrants.

The subject is dentention centers not the photos. ICE is walking around public areas asking people about their citizenship.
Like bus stations. And parks in NY. That is what they did in Nazi Germany and all of Europe.
The children did not have to be separated from parents. That was Attorney General Sessions idea and it backfired.

This is a great juxtaposition of photographs, demonstrating one of the weaknesses of the media. However, how can we be certain that we can trust you? Is the 2018 photograph really a photograph of a detention center? Don't get me wrong, I am also chagrined and dismayed by the media and their antics, I just want to know for certain that your photo is exactly what it purports to be.

Have a great weekend.

I trust Trump even less than I trust the media.
The man even lies when there is no point to.
Even Nazis kept families together in concentration camps.
If immigrants are illegal, could it be because or immigration laws are racist?
If the immigrants were tall Anglo Saxon Protestants with blue eyes, would we care?
But if they are short, brown eyed Catholics, they are treated like vermin.

Let get some facts straight. Americans buy a lot of drugs. San Salvador, Guatamala, Honduras are a nightmare run by the drug cartels.
Mexico is becoming a narco state. Mayors are killed every week. Most of the automatic weapons the gangs in these countries come from the US.
The people are being terrorized. Mothers have their husbands killed and then they ask for the daughters for sex and sons to work in drugs.
They kill them if they don't agree. Being in Florida now for 2 years we get first person experience. I girl working for us said her husband
was killed for his cell phone. We hear stories. So you say this is not our problem. The US has the highest number of illicit drug users in the world.
We are the major market for these drugs. We are the major market for cheap immigrant labor. Why are we worrying about theses photos and the press.

Here are some true facts from a family member that does foster care.
The children are kept in common areas (large rooms) during the day.
The workers are not allowed to interact with the children. (pick them up, offer comfort)
They are telling children that their parents put them in this situation because they do not care about them. That is when they are given an explanation at all.
They are actively seeking foster homes for these children.
They are trying to entice foster parents by allowing them to choose any age or gender.
The government is paying $50 a day to foster these children. They only pay $17 for our own children in foster care.
The government also pays for a social worker to drive to each foster home pick the child up and drive them to a special school just for them. They can not go to regular school because they are prisoner detainees.

These are facts given to her by the social workers assigned to the children.

Immigrant children are being taken away from parents who have NOT been convicted of any crimes! Some of these parents have come legally to request asylum. And the implication that there are no mylar-blanket detention centers is absurd. They are temporary, but real.

Sorry, dishonesty reigns yet again.

For Shame....

This is not about mylar blankets it is about humanity. It is not about the press. We are being distracted about by the nonsense. Children need safety and love.

Ppl who live lives of hell in their own countries are coming to the US for asylum. They don't sneak in our country, they turn themselves over to ICE. Then the US lie to the parents/children about separating them. Where are their hearts? Would they separate their own children from themselves? Some of these parents are kept near the border and their children are sent to places like CT and NY in the middle of the night.

Half of our representation are demonstrating and speaking out and the other half (who have the votes) are ducking, hoping not to come near a reporter's microphone. Where is our humanity? The one country that could be depended upon for standing up for human rights is no more. I hate what this country has become...

Yes they broke our laws and should be deported and not let back in. If a heroin dealer in your neighborhood broke a law or if you were caught with DUI (all it takes is one beer with lunch to be considered DUI) you would then want to go free? get it right they broke the law and the detention camps is sort of a jail while they await to be returned back to their country. Some of these people carry in with them drugs and some are running from the law in their country. As for separating the kids from families If your neighbor was convicted of a crime and sent to jail the child of that person is then sent to child services until either the other parent or grandparent takes the child in. Your logic is to what? Leave the child on the streets abandoned? or... Taken to a child detention area so that the child too can be sent back with it's parents? Your logic exsude's your ignorance of the fact that a law was broken by someone and the punishment by law is to in this case send them back to the country they came from. This takes time because the person who committed the crime is not complying with our legal officials. All of this costs us taxpayers and our unemployed money and jobs. o not give me they will do the jobs no one here wants to do. I see people doing those jobs because they need to live and pay rent all the time. I see and know these people who will do any kind of work to eek out a living because I live in the poor neighbor hoods. Please quit buying into the fals logic. In reality we and a lot of nations are being inundated by illegal immigrants which becomes too much for our legal systems to handle right now. This child issue and a lot of other boarder issues started with Clinton and continued right till today because politicians are too afraid to enforce existing laws and tie the hands of authorities trying to do their job. So Trump becomes considered a menace. After all he called the bluff of the Korean dictator and is in process of making that dictator remove nuclear weapons from Korea. We now have a president who takes no crap from other countries and you and people like you call him names and say he cannot do his job. He cannot do his job when his hands are tied by the politicians who thin the USA can afford more immigrants to feed and house when the USA is already broke and cannot balance its budget yearly. Take in that homeless guy who lives in worse conditions than the immigrant who got caught by the law lives in.

Actual cure is to keep the immigrant family together in housing even if they are housed like our poor families are housed. They house a poor family in the USA in gyms and tents when a flood or tornado or hurricane destroys their existing home. Why treat immigrants to better stuff when they broke the law upon illegal entry. Yes a wall or a fence would slow down their entry and reduce the amount of illegals. The USA is broke and cannot take care of it's own even the honorably discharged military is living on the streets. Fix our problems first and balance the budget. Do not take in anymore people because the USA cannot afford it. Face it we are being passively invaded by other nations.
