[bluestarone]

1. SAD!!!

Just SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mcar]

2. There are people in fcking cages!

Caged people!

[hlthe2b]

3. This is what Despicables and Deplorables have given us.

[trueblue2007]

13. THIS MAKES ME FURIOUS. TRUMP, HIS FAMILY & all the GOPigs should be locked up.

THIS MAKES ME FURIOUS. TRUMP, HIS FAMILY & all the GOPigs should be locked up. Not innocent children.

[Guilded Lilly]

4. America has just slid deeply into a layer of pond scum.

[dixiegrrrrl]

5. There are people who actually continue to work tehre

enabling that.

We need to find out who they are.

[DemocracyMouse]

29. They should be spoken to, without shouting, but firmly,and reminded of their crime

Why aren't the people in the photo going over to the cage and comforting those innocent kids???????????????????

Even the anti-Trumpian review committee is in a fascist trance and disconnected from their emotions, from instincts of nurturing. This is so sick.

We MUST have a children's march. Is anyone planning one?

[Ohiogal]

6. Disgusting and unAmerican.

[GP6971]

7. Looks like he is

in handcuffs. I know he isn't, but that's what it looks like.

[syringis]

8. 50 millions died in WWII

50 millions died in World War II to save the people from such abominations!



He dared talking about D-Day !!!!!

[lunatica]

9. This is unacceptable

Period

[sheshe2]

10. Honestly?

I have no words only anger.

[syringis]

15. Hi Sheshe

I expressed my thoughts here :

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210679393


I have meticulously described my wishes to Trump, here :

https://upload.democraticunderground.com/100210679839

I reiterate once again my wishes to him.

[sheshe2]

18. I will check it out.

Thanks, syringis.

[UTUSN]

11. This is not us

[Girard442]

12. Do these idiots get it that these places are going to be disease-ridden?

That is, if they're not already. Also a perfect setup for abuse by the jailers and older kids.

[Volaris]

14. Are those guards ICE, or Private Sector security?

I ask because if that were me, I'd try at least once to just climb the fuck out of there.

And yes its fucking unacceptable. This is the United States, and our Republicans have screamed at us for DECADES about how Rights (yaknow, like DUE PROCESS) come from Gawd, and NOT the Constitution. Which would imply that those Rights inherently belong to EVERY HUMAN BEING, and it's our governments job via the Constitution to see that those under our governments purvue and control have those GAWD-GIVEN RIGHTS upheld, no matter the inconvenience.
That would include those kids.
So let's see it happen, GOP. Make with the Due Process, or let them the fuck out.

Unless you're scared of a buncha children--cause you're gutless chickenshit COWARDS. AND SO IS YOUR BETA-MALE OF A FAKE PRESIDENT.

[smirkymonkey]

16. I can't believe what I am seeing. This is obscene.

How can anyone justify putting innocent children in cages? What on earth is wrong with us! I feel like screaming!

[syringis]

17. Hi dear

"What on earth is wrong with us!"

The toxic orange asshole !

I will not offend you calling him "your president". He isn't, he's a genuine piece of shit !

[smirkymonkey]

21. Yes, you are right dear syringis.

Unfortunately, there are too many people who support such atrocities and this toxic orange asshole!

Have a good weekend!

[DemocracyMouse]

30. CHILDRENS' MARCH NOW!!!

[Ferrets are Cool]

19. And Congress is ok with this. Fucking pathetic. nt

[DemocracyMouse]

31. Therefore CHILDRENS' MARCH NOW!!!

[blueinredohio]

20. Now that he saw them what's he going to do about it?

[backtoblue]

22. Exactly

There is an ethical responsibility for Merkley to continue these demands to have access to the kids. Fight on Merkley! We need a hero....

[DemocracyMouse]

33. We're going to have a CHILDRENS' MARCH NOW!!! In every city!!!

[Equinox Moon]

23. Where are the toilets?

...and other necessities.

[Cha]

26. Good Question!

[Sophia4]

24. Looks like a human rights violation to me. But then how would I know other than

it looks like a violation to me.

[DemocracyMouse]

34. It is! We must have a CHILDRENS' MARCH NOW!!! In every city!!!

[Solly Mack]

25. K&R

[Roland99]

27. Internment camps

[woundedkarma]

28. Horrible and from 2014...

"2014 visit by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass). Kids still with parents. No photos are allowed in 2018."

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/6/6/1769784/-Asylum-seeking-parents-are-being-coerced-into-guilty-pleas-through-the-theft-of-their-children

It's horrible. It was horrible then. It's horrible now. At the same time, this is someone trolling dems.

[ProudLib72]

32. Well, the dehumanization scheme is complete

He ranted to his followers that these were not people but animals. Now they are put in cages like animals. No one sees anything wrong with that because he said they were animals.

Time to put the GOP in cages. I hate them all with every fiber of my body.

[DemocracyMouse]

35. We're going to have a CHILDRENS' MARCH NOW!!! In every city!!!

[zentrum]

36. Internment camps.

Getting more Nazi every day.

[C_U_L8R]

37. Set them free

Break them out. This is so wrong.

[lpbk2713]

38. Looks like they sleep on a thin pad with mylar blankets.

Could HS make things a little more unbearable?

[Plucketeer]

39. What's next?

Large unisex shower rooms?

[world wide wally]

40. Correction:

This WAS America....for a long time.
We should change the name to Deplorastan

[orleans]

41. this photo is from 2014 (and not with merkley)

there are no photos allowed in 2018 apparently and merkley, from my understanding of this article i'm linking to, did NOT go in and see anything.

he has a list of 19 questions about the place:

"Senator demands answers to 19 questions about more than 11,000 migrant kids
Last Updated Jun 7, 2018 4:27 PM EDT

"Days after he was denied access to a federal shelter for child migrants, Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, is demanding answers from the Office of Refugee Resettlement about the roughly 11,000 children under the care of the federal agency.

"Under U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions' 'zero tolerance' policy on immigration prosecutions, children must be forcibly separated from their families, falsely labeled 'unaccompanied alien children,' and transferred to your agency's custody," Merkley said in his letter to Office of Refugee Resettlement Director Scott Lloyd.

"According to press reports, more than 600 children have already been separated from their families since the implementation of this policy at the beginning of May, bringing the total under your care to a staggering 11,200."
