Vice President Mike Pence traveled to the US-Mexico border Friday to witness the conditions facing migrant adults and children in Customs and Border Protection custody.
Joined by a group of reporters, Senate Republicans and acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan, Pence visited two facilities in the Rio Grande Valley: the Donna Processing Facility, temporarily housing families, and the McAllen Border Patrol Station, housing single adults who have been found crossing into the United States illegally.
In Donna, Pence saw oversized, air-conditioned facilities, with children and their parents lying on cots, watching animated movies and eating snacks.
In McAllen, it was a much different scene: Pence toured a swelteringly hot room called a sally port with hundreds of men, a strong smell of sweat and overcrowding so extreme there was no room for cots, the migrants left to sleep on concrete beneath mylar blankets.

So a crisis they created and then they'll say they fixed it?

Create problem
Deny the problem
Admit there is a problem, blame someone else
Say they will take care of the problem
Wait for people to forget

Pence setting himself up as the right guy to kick out Trump. He's going to make himself seem way more reasonable than Trump

His problem isn't even with the detention centers but with the argument over getting more money to house them. He doesn't give a shit about those people.

They are going to spin this overcrowding problem as the reason they need more concentration camps.

These scumlord fascists are hurting people on purpose. There is zero reason, legal or otherwise, for these people to be detained in these concentration camps. The situation is intentionally cruel and traumatic.

Seeing him see those conditions and be so nonchalant about that treatment is absolutely disgusting. I really hope there is justice in an afterlife and all of these people burn in Hell. I just don't understand how you can treat other humans with such indifference.

The same way the Germans in the 30s dealt with it, they convinced themselves that the people in the camps were less than human and were responsible for their situation.

The simple fact that children have died in these places. The staff created a damn facebook group to mock these people etc and this admin turns a blind eye and willfully accepts this. The comparisons are fair.

If they or anyone else don't want these comparisons. Shut these places down and treat people with more humanity.

So wait....

Border crossings were relatively low, then the "caravans" and the family separations happen. People are held captive in these concentration camps longer than necessary, causing overcrowding. The plan all along was to use these horrible tactics to Prevent asylum seekers from coming.

Now the administration wants people to believe that this crisis is the Democrats fault? I hate how this is like two basketball teams fighting for a championship.

I have to say, the situation is pretty bad but these comparisons are disingenuous and not helpful to discourse.

People have already died there under terrible conditions, neglect, and outright cruelty.

It shouldn't matter if it's three or three million; it's locking up immigrants and minorities in poorly run camps overseen by racists and bigots who have been documented openly mocking the heartache they've imposed on broken families, asylum seekers, and traumatized children.

I went to the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin in 2016 before Trump was elected and I kept asking my husband how did people let this happen and how I was so afraid Trump would do the same...my actual problem is I feel powerless to stop this shit.

So the grift is they complain about how this is the dems fault, they get their cash, funnel it into pet corporate prison industrial complex welfare, put some cute pictures up of the 'nice' new facilities that the media buys hook like and sinker so they move on from this news cycle and two years later there's a propublica award winning article on how the fucked conditions continue along with a sharp increase of inmigrant rapes/deaths since this shitshow.

Im an atheist but I sure do hope they all meet the God that they claim they are doing this all for
