More of the US swirling around the ethics drain.
Why was the Flores agreement put into place? Humanitarian concerns. Time and time again the Trump administration has shown that humanitarianism is seen as an inconvenient speed bump in his pursuit of political goals.
We already know how these children are being treated and it is another stain upon this nation.
The ironic thing is with all the hard line actions on immigrants, Trump has only made the illegal immigration situation worse. We've tried similar hard line stances on things like on crime, it never works because we don't deal with the underlying causes. Not only are the policies morally bankrupt, but ineffective to boot. But it makes us feel good, we're doing something and taking decisive action!! (Huh, the problem keeps on getting worse, I know we'll get even harsher, that's the ticket!).

I just heard this on National Public Radio and Fox News. The Democrats don't say there is a crisis but this was done in 2014 and 2015 by President Obama when they had 25% or 20% of the immigrants they have now. You can't deny the fact that this is an invasion and I don't care what rhetoric the President says, the migrants are exploiting a loophole in the law! And they are not concentration camps! Concentration camps means people are exterminated, they have slave labor and they are put in conditions where they are not expected to survive more than a few weeks. The mainstream media and the leftists don't know what a concentration camp is and AOC refused to go to Poland to see and meet a concentration camp victim from Auschwitz.

SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint - We've set up an immigration process that is very uncertain and difficult. For example getting in through the diversity program is through a lottery. Applying for work visas is very limited unless you have substantial qualifications. Even for legal entrants via asylum seeking we've made it a very hard and unpleasant process.
This is a far cry from the Ellis Island experience of simply showing up and being healthy that many ancestors of current US citizens dealt with. So when I hear complaints about jumping to the front of the line, yeah OK, but we've also set up a system where the line hardly moves. No wonder desperate people are looking for ways around our broken system.

SPC Kevin Ford if we're having a hundred to a hundred and fifty thousand people a month, you would need to hire three or four thousand judges just to take care of the backlog.

LTC (Join to see) - We do need more judges. Do we really have that many coming across the border in sustained numbers? That would be a return to 2000 levels. I know there has been an uptick, but that would be a very steep increase.

3 Charts That Show What's Actually Happening Along The Southern Border
The number of people taken into custody at the southern U.S. border with Mexico has been decreasing since 2000. Economists say the reasons people choose to cross the border illegally are changing.

I disagree. The mainstream media, and the Democrats (leftists) know exactly what a concentration camp is but it runs counter to their narrative so they weaponize those terms to tug emotional responses from viewers.
We all know that illegal immigrants have better conditions, 3 squares a day, a dry cot and access to medical care which is 1,000 times better than they have back home (otherwise why are they here?) Yet, all the MSDNC, (et al) want is for people to vote with their emotions not their brains!

So when can we worry about citizens instead of treating us like a second class..fix our problems and then we vote to see if the citizens want to help others...

SPC Kevin Ford What is your solution? The people in central America want wages like you have. The solution is that USA citizens need to donate money to them. That is what they want. Please start sending 50% of your income to Latin Am. It will help the problems there.
