Pentagon asked to prep housing for up to 20,000 unaccompanied immigrant kids on military bases

There's been some random rumblings that Mattis is clashing with them internally, and stuff like this would explain why.
I mean, the entire bill was a dog and poney show to... detain families instead of just kids.
My god people are stupid, this administration of nazis will only do the worst possible outcome every single time.
Christ, I just hope we don't start hearing about the military executing children.
I wake up everyday wondering when we hear about an ice mass burial site, honestly I don't know what to do anymore.
Hey, why not you show these kids the real american experience; the military.
Surpised he's not sending them to the moon through the space force.

What better way to really drive the point home, then putting military with guns detaining children. I mean think of it, the pr speaks for itself. Long-lensed photographs on the outskirts, pictures of guard towers and kids playing in the yard.
Trump fan of Outer Heaven in MGSV is all.
Trump doesn't have ideas, just tantrums
I don't know that stateside bases have the room to house these immigrants. Can't speak for other bases but Naval Station Norfolk has had a shortage of housing on base for sailors for a while, was a problem when I was stationed there, never mind immigrants. I just don't see how this is going to work.
I hope historians and history books are absolutely ruthless to that slimey, orange shit stain. His entire family will forever be known as nothing but liars, cheaters, frauds and deplorable human benings for the rest of time.
NPR interviewed several military families who were at the protests over the weekend. This is not going to go over well at all, I can't think of a better way to drive down morale than bring thousands of crying children separated from their parents through questionably legal/moral means to already overcrowded military bases.
Saw this earlier, and thought to myself, "I wonder how hard they're going to try and fill that number up."
I mean, we have bases in Japan, and he did threaten to send immigrants to Japan...
You've clearly never been an NCO.
You've clearly never been an NCO.
You actually want this (because there are no guard towers and no one will be detained with weapons) over CBP detention.
I mean, you don't want detention at all, but DoD actually has experience housing and providing for refugees— and the kids are more likely to get medical care. More funding for provisions too.
My guess is that soldiers would not be the ones responsible for their care.
They won't be.
They will be housed at the military bases, but it will still be HHS in charge of them.
At this point? Would you even be surprised if they were?
I wouldn't
Read the rest of what I wrote.
No, I don't want this either, but getting people away from CBP is better than not doing so.
Are any of these children unaccompanied as a result of the zero-tolerance policy? Why so many? Where were they being housed before?
They wouldn't be in charge of it.
HHS will still be the ones heading the operation. They are just housing them at the military bases, but will not be using outside resources unless requested for it.
Which means, it will most likely again be the "nonprofit" contractors that HHS has been delegating to thus far.
That's because they won't get actual housing. It'll be the same deal as it has been: a warehouse converted into pens.
"Beds" being cots at best, but likely bedrolls depending on the timing.
How long until the Republicans start processing immigrant kids into food for the poor like in Snowpiercer?
There are people at my job who vehemently support Trump and everything he does and says. Don't underestimate just how stupid people are. Thats how we got here in the first place.
"says increasingly concerned person for the xth time this week"
The optics of this... l guess they really want to give the Gestapo comparisons more fuel.
I'm not holding my breath. No guarantee he won't be rehabbed and treated with the deference any former president is. Look how everyone in the media loves Bush W now.
Man like imagine how much easier this would have been if they never decided to BREAK UP FAMILIES
Just checked the population of my city/town and 20,000 is literally a larger population by a hundred or two hundred than the town I live in. Insane.
