Merkley: Migrant Kids Are Kept In Cages On Concrete Floor At TX Border Station
By Kate Riga | June 4, 2018 9:33 am
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) said that he saw undocumented children in cages sleeping on thin space blankets on a concrete floor at a border processing facility. He was then barred from entering another immigrant detention center, he told CNN Monday in an interview.
“They have big cages made out of fencing and wire and nets stretched across the top of them so people can’t climb out,” Merkley told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota of the McAllen border patrol station in Texas he toured on Sunday. “It’s just a concrete floor and people are being given these space blankets to sleep on. A space blanket is…the equivalent of foil. So obviously a very uncomfortable situation to be in.”
Merkley added that when he inquired about the draconian living conditions, he was given “generic” answers: “this is what’s required for security, this is what’s required for control.”

And you expected them to be put up at 5-star hotel with room service and all the other amenities, did you? Cable TV, Olympic-size swimming pool, saunas, personal grooming services, etc.?

5-star cages maybe? Bare concrete floors are a nice touch.

You have already made your absurd views on murdering children and infants known on the religious thread.
Guess murdering African and South American children and infants
are particularly vulnerable to your love and affection.

You're fibbing again. I never expressed any views on the the murder of any children on that thread. Murder, murdering, etc. are your terms and your interpretation.

You excused your version of a loving god doing just that.
I thought you are a god fearing Christian who tried to follow his example?
BTW, that is why I sopped posting on your religious thread.

Not to worry. Trump and Rudy agree. Trump could murder a kid on 5th avenue and not face justice until he is no longer preznit.
Trump is just like your god ruling physical and societal laws, Trump rules the U.S. justice system, (not to mention all you Trumpeteers) and who knows,.........
some day soon, the universe.

How could I possibly excuse him when he did nothing wrong? In other words, I categorically and unequivocally rejected your premise, thus there was nothing to excuse. I simply explained and justified my interpretation in the context of The Book.

Wow...you give Trump more authority and powers than your [so-called] Trumpeteers do. I guess you have gone so far East that you're now in the West. Shocking.

Without boring others too much, you justified your version of god murdering children, infants and even farm animals for some boxcarian version of "divine justice", and hey, no biggie cause god sent up to heaven right away.
No biggie!
BTW, did he tell the Israelites to kill them causing no pain or suffering? Perhaps a lullaby as they died.?
Sharp or dull swords?

I'm so heartbroken. Just as with the millions of children in 3rd world nations who's parents are legal....many dead. If you're a parent here illegally, whatever happens thereafter is of your doing.
