I'm not sure what part the trump administration isn't upholding dezzy...nor why you would think and claim that I see 2 4 and 6 yr old kids as enemy combatants...That sounds as silly as it looked in your post.

No way is someone going to sit and think 'well my kids couldhave a decent education, be safer and looked after etc, however the people in that country would not be happy so of course I won't go'

The mindset required to even for a moment think that it's appropriate to house anyone - let alone children - in an ex internment camp is so twisted that it's like arguing against a brick wall.



It's a bizarre slice of cognitive dissonance... the idea that parents seeking a better existence for their children in a wealthier country are somehow acting immorally. Is there anything less immoral than risking your liberty, and your life, for a better life for your family??

But of course as I say cognitive dissonance because we all know that the people who are firmly against people from elsewhere doing this, would be first in line at the docks if the UK somehow became a warzone. Yet people actually deny this flat out. "No I'd stay in my home and starve because it's the right thing to do :hee:" - or - "Well I'd go but I'd stop at the first safe country even if it was a freezng cold, dirty, temporary camp!". Utter BS.

The part that I've mentioned several times but you keep ignoring since you don't have an answer for it. Quality of life is an issue, these kids aren't dropping dead just because and plus they are entitled to an education and legal aid which the government are cutting funding too, again. I've said this before.

As for the other thing you said, this is a quote of yours.



Tell me, why do you assume they'd kill each other? Do kids typically resort to murder if put together? No, they do not so why would these migrant children murder each other at the drop of a hat? Explain your thought process to me because it just looks like you're dehumanising them and making them out to be a danger when they're just kids trying to get to safety. When you consider someone a danger to you, you begin to consider them an enemy.

Yep, it's ludicrous. I'd like a show of hands for all those who wouldn't try and leave a war torn/massively poor country in search of a better future for their kids and themselves

Fair enough about the murdering comments, I didn't realise these kids were infants in some cases as I thought we were talking about unnacompanied"children...

That's an assumption, I can't see anywhere that's listed the cause of deaths for these children and even if it was some 'obscure tropical disease' it likely would be nothing that can't be treated by a developed country like the US. These children are dying, not on the US' doorstep but while they are in custody.

Congress did not cut funding, no. That is a lie to frame democrats as the villains when the cuts came from the Health and Human Services Department of the government.

Thing is, if you read up on these kids it is the border patrol guards that have tried to save thier lives...the kids were in thier parents custody.

Blaming Obama for Trump choosing to make the same mistakes make no sense. It's just a diversion to try to brush the bodies of these dead children under the rug.

It mentions two children that were with their parents but ultimately, if they are in the custody of Border Services, those services have a duty of care to the people they are holding so if a child dies, it's often down to negligence of the people who were supposed to care for the people they detained.

read up on each child a bit more..:shrug:
