Just read an article how all the children's camps at the border are 794% over capacity. Kids taking turns sleeping on the floor only one shower a week. Where is the outrage from the Democrats now?

JUST IN: U.S. Border Patrol are currently holding more than 4,200 unaccompanied migrant children in cages, which CBS News describe as “jail-like stations unfit to house minors”

— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) March 15, 2021

The sheer # of migrants coming to our southern border is unsustainable. Facilities are overcapacity, and this crisis is showing no signs of letting up.

POTUS must address this. Like @GOPLeader said today, "It's more than a crisis; it's human heartbreak." https://t.co/eL2jzhzzBE

Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never watch the pantomime the same way you did before you noticed them... Each illegal alien child is worth about $56,000 in grant money. The system is full of fraud.

Thread: How did we get here?
In 2015, I shook President Obama’s hand, thanked him for DACA, and asked him to reverse course & close the for-profit baby jails (also known as “family detention centers”) he opened in Dilley & Karnes City, Texas. What he said shook me to my core 1/ pic.twitter.com/K5vi6S2RPj

— R. Andrew Free (@ImmCivilRights) June 19, 2018

2/ Specifically, I told him, “It’s wrong. And it’s going to be a stain on your legacy.” He stopped moving on to the next person in the rope line and looked back at me. I’d gotten his attention. He turned back, looked at me and “Are you an immigration lawyer?” “Yes”

— R. Andrew Free (@ImmCivilRights) June 19, 2018

4/ I later learned that her meeting with senior AILA attorneys had been testy to say the least. See, Obama had previously timed great news, like #DACA to coincide with the AILA annual conferences. We all watched ecstatic in Nashville in 2012 as he announced it on giant screens.

— R. Andrew Free (@ImmCivilRights) June 19, 2018

6/ So when I said “Yes”, the President looked back and engaged: “I’ll tell you what we can’t have. It’s these parents sending their kids here on a dangerous journey and putting their lives at risk.”

— R. Andrew Free (@ImmCivilRights) June 19, 2018

8/ First, the President tacitly admittedly that he was using detention of mothers and children as a deterrent. Days later, a federal court would find that policy likely violates the due process clause. https://t.co/FxCyUqnWSW. And rightly so, as @ACLU powerfully demonstrated.

— R. Andrew Free (@ImmCivilRights) June 19, 2018

10/ What’s wrong with that? First, it doesn’t work. It assumes a parent would rationally chose to watch her daughter raped or murdered in Guatemala, El Salvador, or Honduras instead of helping her flee to seek the domestic and international legal protections of US law. Would you?

— R. Andrew Free (@ImmCivilRights) June 19, 2018

12/ Today’s DHS Kidnapping policy is the logical extension of yesterday’s family detention decisions. It’s the same mouthful of detention-as-deterrence mouthwash, just swished to the other side. Nothing, NOTHING in our law requires us to abuse and traumatize families and children

— R. Andrew Free (@ImmCivilRights) June 19, 2018

14/ I remember holding back tears when I saw cutouts from Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar on the walls in the “kids’ area” of the legal trailer and thinking about how this would mean those kids will always associate the same book I was reading my child with this jail.

— R. Andrew Free (@ImmCivilRights) June 19, 2018

16/ if being in these cages ate away at our humanity, getting to know the people locked inside them helped restore it. They women We represented had been raped, beaten, or stalked in some of the most violent places on the planet. They carried on for their kids. They had hope.

— R. Andrew Free (@ImmCivilRights) June 19, 2018

18/ I remember sitting down with my Member of Congress soon after I got back from the baby jail and trying to impress upon him the fierce urgency of taking immediate action to close these places down. I believed if people just knew, it would end. We as a nation would end it.

I'd forgotten about this. Hillary Clinton in 2014 on CNN: "We have to send a clear message, just because your child gets across the border doesn’t mean your child gets to stay. We don’t want to send a message contrary to our laws or encourage more to come" https://t.co/kF7VQQtdaz

She wasn't advocating family separation, but she was promoting deportation as quickly as possible. Which is basically what Trump wants - and why he wants a change in federal law so Central American nationals are treated the same as Mexicans, who already can be quickly sent home.

I've regularly pointed out that Obama deported 3m+ people - nobody seems to either know that fact nor care. https://t.co/SA0KDyEJnz

What happened to the idea of saying 'Central American asylum seekers are free to apply but only at our embassy in Mexico City.' Seems promising. No separation of families. No confinement. No Act of Congress needed. You're free to wait out case in Mexico. https://t.co/C1MpL4XZZ0
