Forcing them to cross deserts while sick with no food or water? Oh, wait, no, that's what their traffickers from Honduras and elsewhere are doing as they claim

Forcing them to cross deserts while sick with no food or water? Oh, wait, no, that's what their traffickers from Honduras and elsewhere are doing as they claim that those children belong to them when they reach the border so that they can receive higher priority treatment, whereupon they enter and recycle the kids back across the border.

> Oh, wait, no, that's what their traffickers from Honduras and elsewhere So you're using the fact that these kids are the victims of human trafficking, to make them suffer even more? Do you even listen to what you're saying?

  I'm saying that they're better off in Border Patrol facilities than being repeatedly trafficked across the desert, recycled over and over again to create fake family after fake family for criminals to get into the united states. It might help us provide a more humane experience for them while in these facilities if we didn't have politically motivated Democrats demagoguing and grandstanding, trying to play off our emotions for election points, whilst denying funding for these facilities. But NOPE! I guess we can't fund these facilities, because the progressive wing of the party has collectively fallen into the delusion that we're in pre-WW2 Germany and Trump is a Nazi, just because they don't like the guy. It's the most ridiculous paranoia I've come across, which is saying something coming from me considering how generally paranoid I am personally. There's no basis for it. None whatsoever.

It's not a resource issue. > which is saying something coming from me considering how generally paranoid I am personally You may be paranoid, but your paranoia is pointing in the wrong direction. > There's no basis for it. None whatsoever. We're in the middle of a discussion about thousands of children being abused and mistreated in government facilities. That right there is a basis for comparison. If you can't even see that, then you're willfully closing your eyes.

      Can you provide a source for that $775 figure? In May alone there were 144,000 illegal immigrants processed by the CBP. That's over $100,000,000 just for one month, which makes me skeptical of that figure off $775 / person being available.
