we are an immoral nation and i'm too comfortable and apathetic to do anything ab

It's an inhumane practice that should be stopped.

thank you.  i agree.

"child internment camps" aren't exactly an invention by the trump admin fwiw.

that is worth absolutely nothing.

I think it's relevant for the time traveling tweeter blowing 2014 peoples' minds that child internment camps exist in 2018. 

They're abhorrent and should be done away with, but they're not anything unique to this administration.

the murals are new and unique (I'm guessing) and therefore relevant to this thread. but thanks for setting the record straight.

Complaining about the artwork in a "child internment camp" kind of buries the lead, don't you think?

Ha, good one Wacky!

from what i understand we now have a publicly announced zero tolerance policy, and are using these children camps as deterrents for border crossing.

this is an invention by the trump admin ^

Fairly guilty of being comfortable and apathetic... What can I do about the kids being taken from their parents thing sys?

Can confirm that the resistanceer that did that is in fact a dunbass.

i definitely include myself among the comfortable and apathetic.  this is probably the most comfortable and apathetic way to try to do anything, but i don't really have any other ideas.

That's horrific if true, but even worse is the fact that the administration wants people to know they are doing it.

I think the transparency is a good thing. Sure, it's awful that these people clearly see nothing morally wrong with this, but it's not like there is any sort of revelation at this point that everyone involved with this administration is a walking, breathing piece of crap.

I don't understand. They have the equipment and manpower to set up a weekly Skype, but they can't keep these kids in livable conditions and get the kid back to the parents.

They don't want to keep these kids in livable conditions, though.

I guess my point is that it seems like they prefer to keep the kids detained as a part of the deterrent effect rather than return them, so they're happy to make this known.

Is what they are doing legal but immoral or both?

It's both.

Every circuit court judge from Tallahassee to Portland fought the Muslim ban thing immediately but no one is stepping up to the plate on this thing?

i'm no lawyer, but i think it's legal until a judge tells them it isn't.  and still not a lawyer, but i think a judge would have to rule that they are separating the children in bad faith or something like that.

[wetwillie]

yea i think they have enough legal cover on this to continue
