Rep. Nanette Barragán saw children sleeping on the hard ground and babies in filthy clothes at one of Trump's tent cities for immigrants.

Trump is concentrating immigrants in disgusting, "heartbreaking" conditions at a tent city near the El Paso, Texas, border crossing, according to Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-CA). Barragán shared what she saw in a Monday Daily Beast article.

"We were stepping over people to walk around in the tent," Barragán said. "I was really taken aback by the smell. I was in there for five minutes and I just became nauseous, I hate to say it," she added.

The tent city, consisting of five Army tents meant to be battlefield hospitals, holds hundreds of immigrant families, many of whom are seeking asylum. The Trump administration refuses to allow journalists to visit the tent city....

People, share this article far and wide. Please.

8. This never would have happened in America

9. This is an outrage.

10. I'm inclined to believe this

"Advocates for immigrants wonder if the Trump administration is intentionally making conditions almost intolerable as a way to deter asylum seekers from coming to the United States."

Another way to punish asylum seekers. Unbelievably cruel.

11. Trump called these poor people animals...

...but the truth is, if animals were caged and overcrowded in such unsanitary and dangerous ways, law enforcement would charge the ones who are holding them in such an inhumane way and rescue the animals. These poor individuals are being treated far WORSE than animals! Shameful!

13. Trump's Atrocious Tent Cities Grossly Violate International Standards

The Republican RICO party likes to wrap themselves in their faux Christianity. Just one look at the calculatedly sadistic way asylum seekers are being treated demonstrates they are actually the antithesis of anything Christian. They are actively pushing us back toward third world status and smiling all the way.
