    Cannot make this SHT up!!

    "EL PASO, Texas (AP) — The Trump administration is facing growing complaints from migrants about severe overcrowding, meager food and other hardships at border holding centers, with some people at an encampment in El Paso being forced to sleep on the bare ground during dust storms.

    The Border Network for Human Rights issued a report Friday based on dozens of testimonials of immigrants over the past month and a half, providing a snapshot of cramped conditions and prolonged stays in detention amid a record surge of migrant families coming into the U.S. from Central America.

    The report comes a day after an advocate described finding a teenage mother cradling a premature baby inside a Border Patrol processing center in Texas. The advocate said the baby should have been in a hospital, not a facility where adults are kept in large fenced-in sections that critics describe as cages."

    Then may I suggest that they go the F home and tell their friends not to come...

    You guys are something else. Where the F would you be if your forefathers "had to go home"?

    And Democrats won't give them any additional funding to deal with the border crisis. They are swamped and overwhelmed right now.

    Trump begged the Democrats in the House for more money for the detention facilities, but they obstinately refuse to give it to him.

    So who is to blame here? Hmmm...

    The left calls our forefathers invaders who stole land. Is that how you see the illegals?

    A little tidbit of trivia some of you may not be aware of: there are more illegals entering each year than there were slaves imported in the entire history of the country.

    Sounds like that is just so unbelievable it couldn't be true, but check the numbers.

    I asked a question, that's all. You don't have to answer.

    The guy wants to seal this country shut with a wall, the left calls that racist and fights him and you blame everyone except yourself which is where the blame should go. Perhaps not having the latest Bruce Jenner picture has clouded your mind.

    Were they expecting a red carpet welcome and 5 star amenities?

    Two possibilities here - someone with vested interests lied to these "asylum seekers" about what to expect once they made it here, or it's just another "orange man bad" fake news story.

    Italy, but I don't think my lineage was welcome at the Colonial table! And later on pretty much in the same boat as the blacks!

    My forefathers weren't faux asylum seekers who "migrated" to an economic superpower.

    One of the more unique things liberals believe is that illegal foreigners need and should be treated better than American citizens. Should they disagree with my statement, then they should explain why they spend any money at all on illegals when we have homeless Americans.

    It boils down to "America bad".

    In their minds the whole thing is wrong and corrupt, it needs to be destroyed and refashioned.

    They're deluded ideologues and have no real idea of what's wrong or how to fix it, they just "know" they're doing the right thing. The icing on the cake is that they're useful idiots to the enemies of this nation, internal and external.

    Progressivism is a cognitive cancer.

    Probably not sneaking into another country and bitching about it when I got here.

    I don’t think there was an immigration crisis when our forefathers came. That’s like saying what’s the difference if we put 2 people in a canoe and 30 people? You make no sense.

    An old saying comes to mind. "Beggars can't be choosers." They come from a dysfunctional country where health care is reserved for the upper classes, but expect to be treated like royalty when they get here. The left has emboldened these beggars telling them that the West owes them something. We owe them nothing.

    Progressivism is cultish. These people have been brain washed by the Jim Jones of the left. I wish they would all go to Guyana and drink the kool aid.

    Lolz ... who sheltered and fed the colonists? :roflol:
    The US has 5,000 "asylum" seekers quarantined and under medical observation for infectious disease. Jamestowners would appreciate the irony I'm sure.
