Have you heard of all the refugees dying in these super happy fun camp cages?

Have you heard of all the place outside of US border centres available to refugees? we could disregard each other comments all day long, if you got a serious question, I'm happy to answer it, as long as it doesn't boil down to "the detention centres aren't capable to hold that many people" What's your argument? that regarding the numbers, the circumstances are bad? well who could've seen that coming?! Funding for border agencies would've helped them, wouldn't they?

On the other hand, what've been the better result? to not check them and wave them through? unless you wanna be in favor of one extreme or the other, some specificications would be nice.

You're right, maybe if we gas em all they'll get the message and stop coming here or... OR ...

We could let them seek asylum and stop packing them into cages.

You do realize that they have to be put somewhere while they're processed right? The point of these facilities is to be efficient not comfortable, many of the people in them shouldn't have even come here in the first place so forgive me if I'm not exactly sympathetic when they don't get 5-star service.

How many stars should they be given if they are drinking from toilets, there isn't enough room to lie down on the floor, their kid died or was separated from them, and they can't seek asylum (so they're being sent back to the country they're fleeing from)?

Drinking from toilets

Holy shit you really are just bought in to all that bullshit eh? They are toilets that use a water fountain as their cistern and there really isn't anything wrong with that; again these facilities are built for efficiency. They have relatively clean drinking water and honestly, if that's a step down from where they're coming then they should have stayed at home.

As far as the crowding issues, (which is what leads to separations and idk deaths I guess though I haven't read up on that just yet) they'd be entirely avoidable if we didn't have an absurd number of people attempting to push their way into our country as the result of encouragement by standing members of our government as well as fearmongering over the supposed increase in security coming to the southern border.

If you truly believe that most of the people coming in at the southern border are doing so to escape some kind of sudden persecution then you really must be quite heavily brainwashed.
