GOP Congressman Tells Detained Children To Leave Border Camps If They Don’t Like The Conditions


Republican congressman Michael Burgess of Texas suggested on Monday that if the detained children living in border camps don’t like the conditions, they’re free to walk out and find another place to live.

In an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, Rep. Burgess – a loyal Trump supporter – said that the children at these immigration detention centers are “well taken care of,” but said the children are welcome to find another place to live if the conditions aren’t good enough.

“You know what, there is not a lock on the door,” the Republican congressman said. “Any child is free to leave at any time.”

Rep Burgess said:

I’ve been to Casa Padre in Brownsville, Texas. Yes, it’s a restored Walmart. You know what, there is not a lock on the door. Any child is free to leave at any time, but they don’t. You know why? Because they’re well taken care of. At some point, they’re going to live with family, generally not mother or father, but some family member. That’s a good thing.

2. I think this over and over again

and I still cannot answer this, how on this earth are these people so stupid? I mean really? How can their thoughts never move past their stupid, partisan soundbites into the reality they are charged to manage? They could not hold a job anywhere except as worker bees that have jobs that require no more than putting things together over and over without need for thought.

12. "How can their thoughts never move past their stupid, partisan soundbites

into the reality they are charged to manage?"
Very succinct.

3. If they can leave if they want to...

why are they being detained in the first place?


Is it voluntary detention then? Are they being asked if they want ot be detained.
Some voters voted for this A-hole. Come on, Chris Hayes, why did you not follow up with the obvious?

4. The GOP is a special kind of stupid

[Skidmore]

5. Burgess is a doctor.

He delivers babies. An obstetrician and gynecologist.

[babylonsister]

6. That makes it even worse. nt

14. Tells you what kind of GYN he is...

probably the kind who berates his patients while sexually assaulting them for "their own good".

[tanyev]

7. Oh.My.God. That man was a doctor of obstetrics and gynecology before he ran for office.

Absolutely despicable. Yes, little 5 year old, just walk out that door and find yourself a better place to live.

[Takket]

9. So he wants kids to just wander out into the desert and die?

[babylonsister]

10. Seems he took a page out of M's book: "I really don't care, do u?" nt

11. Preparing an excuse for trafficked children.

From now on when children are unaccounted for ...

"I dunno. I guess she just walked out the door and died."

[Bettie]

13. If the doors are not locked

and the kids can leave at any time...why are they in cages? Are the cages locked? Why can't congresspersons get in though those unlocked doors.

Oh wait, he's talking out of his ass as most of his party do.

15. He said worse towards the middle saying the lawyers claims "might" be true but

[AlexSFCA]

16. they are not allowed to leave and not allowed visitors

this is like high security prison only without basic hygiene supplies and not enough food plus innocent toddlers.
