Want to know some truths about these illegal immigration detention centers?

Here you go. Absolutely heinous and distasteful. [quote]Detainees described overcrowding so severe that “it was difficult to move in any direction without jostling and being jostled.” The water provided them was foul, “of a dark color, and an ordinary glass would collect a thick sediment.” The “authorities never removed any filth.” A detainee wrote that the “only shelter from the sun and rain and night dews, was what we could make by stretching over us our coats or scraps of blanket.” As for the food, “Our ration was in quality a starving one, it being either too foul to be touched or too raw to be digested.”[/quote]

I sincerely hope they tell their friends they mad a big mistake coming here, and encourage them not to come. More people will make it even worse.

@t3kkno But what about NOW bud? What about the children and others who are suffering NOW?
@t3kkno I'm certainly glad my family immigrated to the United States back in the 80's, that's for sure.

@Ynotisay We should pull out the stops and make every effort to return those unfortunate people to their homes.

@t3kkno OK. At least you have some kind of empathy. But you DO know what these people are escaping, right? Their 'homes' aren't like your home or mine.

@latinbutterfly I too am glad that your family came here as well, to join us in contributing to this amazing country.
@t3kkno But Pence just told the press that all the detainees [b]he[/b] spoke to said they were being treated “very well”. He’s the Vice President ! Why would [b]he[/b] lie ? 🤨

@bijouxbroussard Did he really say that? Wow. Makes sense. Because if there's one thing way too many Christians avoid doing is walking the walk when it comes to empathy, care and compassion.
@t3kkno No doubt my family and I have been blessed, but I have to say I am very disappointed in some of the things I've seen in my 35 years in U.S.
