And tens of thousands still keep coming.
This doesn't tell me what they would do with the ones showing up either.
This platform does not tell me what Dems would do with the 144,000 people last month who showed up at the border.

I feel for these people living in horrible conditions in their own country but the US cannot save all the people who wish to come here. We have our own people to care for, especially our veterans. Why are they not stopping in Mexico to claim asylum there? I hate that this is made into a political football loaded with rhetoric that helps no one.
Good idea!.... You can start by sponsoring one of these migrant family into your home.Of course, that means that here in the US we have to start expecting wealthy individuals and corporations to start contributing their fair share in taxes and donations to the society that they chose to live in and that helped make them wealthy.
So.......who do we choose to be?

T...I'm sure many of our homeless Americans are willing to stay in these so called concentration camps.Maybe for now, being held in a detention camp is better than starving to death, or being killed in their own country.
I am not an especially veterans person. Vets get tons of money, oodles of money, my brother is a vet, my dad was a vet, there are tons of jobs, come to Maine, seriously they need welders and hospitality personnel everywhere. We can't even get snowplow drivers here they have to import people from other places.. this is a state full of geriatrics, we need need young people, send vets here.
Maybe some ARE stopping in Mexico, I don't know, but Mexico is poor also otherwise their own people would not be jumping the fence in Texas (altho it's down a lot from Mexico).
Have you ever talked to someone who works in direct services with homeless populations to test your theory? Or maybe take a survey of homeless people yourself.T...I'm sure many of our homeless Americans are willing to stay in these so called concentration camps.
I have met quite a few people who have done exactly this because they felt it was better than what they had. Plus free health care. Once paroled some came back because it was too difficult on the outside.Have you ever talked to someone who works in direct services with homeless populations to test your theory?

If you were right, why wouldn’t every homeless person just commit a victimless crime and get arrested? Jails are much nicer than the camps, since jailees can sue for civil rights.

Not according to staff psychiatrists.And it hasn’t occurred to you that the people who do this more than likely have a mental illness?
Who is painting a fantasy picture? Prison is a dangerous place full of dangerous people.I bet no one deliberately commits a crime just to get sent to Rikers Island! It's great that there are some happy, sunny prisons somewhere...but not in Alabama and not Rikers Island. Some prisons are worse than death. Should I start linking articles on the conditions in them from articles in "The New York Times" or do you want paint a fantasy picture here?

They would? I haven't heard this plan. Where can I find it?of course they would assist them in finding homes, jobs etc. I don't know about where you live, but here in Maine they are begging for workers. We cannot fill jobs in this country.
What did you think the democrats would do?

Yes I have known of these cases too. They are the exceptions that prove the rule.I have met quite a few people who have done exactly this because they felt it was better than what they had. Plus free health care. Once paroled some came back because it was too difficult on the outside.
You learn an awful lot about people and their troubles when things are slow. Yes it happens..
Wow...Really @redwood66 ??? I understand it if someone has spent their entire adult life in prison for many, many years (as an example, Morgan Freeman in Shawshank Redemption). Does this happen more often then people realize?

I'm sure there are cameras all over these shelters.If these shelters were run in such away that was not considered deplorable and shameful do you really think this administration would be keeping people from entering them to see the conditions? Every member of congress should be going to view these shelters.
EVERYTHING about this administration is shady AF.
Not ignoring you @Tekate, just not interested in a back and forth today. Concentrating on more uplifting situations and spending time with DSs tomorrow. The kid leaves for a year next month.
LOL!!! Just look at the source @Dancing Fire posted
