MY COMMENT: My generation in the late 60's had so much hope. We were going to
change the nation and the world into a humane place. When I see what
happened from then until our present era, I just want to sit back and
cry.
Children
separated from the safety of the arms of their parents sitting in cages
imprisoned in filth, starving and infirm makes me want to
jump out a window at the injustice of it all.
How
can we let this
happen and no one can stop it and arrest the Beast Trump? Our system is
lacking that this swamp thing, a man so evil, so corrupt and so cruel
cannot be led out in handcuffs
for crimes against humanity. Our WWII soldiers gave up their blood and
their lives to liberate the camps of Europe only to now find generations
later this nation under a Beast has drowned Lady Liberty and erected on
our soil a Hitlerian statue made of excrement. Shame on our nation and
shame on the Republican Party that covers their actions in a cloak of
religious hypocrisy that allows a man such unlimited power to do such
unmitigated evil.
Concentration camps in
squalid conditions -- Germany Second edition here in our nation.

MSNBC: "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Monday described the
abysmal conditions she and other members of the Congressional Hispanic
Caucus and other House Democrats saw after visiting two immigration
detention facilities in Texas, and said she'd learned that Customs and
Border Patrol officers told detained women to "drink out of the
toilets."
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said that border patrol agents were keeping migrant women in their cells with no food or water and treated them poorly.
She tweeted: “After I forced myself into a cell w/ women & began speaking to them, one of them described their treatment at the hands of officers as ‘psychological warfare’ — waking them at odd hours for no reason, calling them wh*res, etc... Tell me what about that is due to a 'lack of funding'?”

Their visit followed news of a secret Facebook group with over 9,500 CBP agents that was used as a platform to joke about migrant death and post vulgar comments about Hispanic members of Congress.
Tonight on MSNBC, one of the members of Congress who visited the camps, Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-Calif.), joined Chris Hayes to discuss what she saw in Texas.
“It’s more than a lack of resources and funding,” she said, “It’s really a lack of treating people like they're human beings, it’s a lack of treating people with dignity and respect that they deserve, and that is part of this problem that isn’t focused on that we need to make sure we focus on.”
According to a Department of Homeland Security internal report contained by NBC News, inspectors warned border agents back in May to arm themselves in preparation for possible riots as a result of the conditions at the detention facilities.
The warnings directly contradict statements from a top Trump administration official who said the reports on poor conditions for migrants were “unsubstantiated.”
Also Monday, the Associated Press released a video of a 12-year-old migrant girl describing conditions at a child detention center to her attorney. The girl was held with her sister in the Clint, Texas center that has come under fire for holding children in unsanitary conditions.
In the video, she described the conditions inside the camp, saying that children slept on the floor and some children were locked away when they cried for their parents. She was not allowed to bathe or play with the other children."
