âWe were put into a three sided cage with the fourth side open to the outside filled with loads of people. We had to wait for someone to stand up and quickly take their place on the ground.
My [8-month-old] baby was naked outside with no blanket for all four days we were there. We were freezing. My baby couldnât sleep because the ground was cement with rocks and everytime she moved the sharp ground would scratch her. There were many pregnant women who had to sleep on rocks and I felt very badly for them.
My baby began vomiting and having diarrhea. I asked to see a doctor and they did not take us. I asked again the next day and the guard said âShe doesnât have the face of a sick baby. She doesnât need to see a doctor.â
Since we arrived here my baby has lost a lot of weight. Her pants are very loose now. She is not sleeping because she is sick, and it is very loud. She cries a lot and is listless.â
Given that he has already brought peace to the Middle East, solved the opiod crisis and reinvented government, I would send Jared Kushner to defend the border. If he needs help he could bring in his wife, the famous diplomat.
âWe are being held in a cold cell. We sleep on the floor on mats with blankets. I have only been permitted to take a shower twice in the almost two weeks weâve been here. Weâve been allowed to brush our teeth once.
About three days ago I got a fever. They moved me alone to a flu cell. There is no one to take care of you there. They just give you pills twice a day. I also am having an allergic reaction all over my skin. My skin is itchy and red and my nose is stuffed up. Two times they gave me a pill for it but not anymore.
They let us out of our cell twice a day for a few minutes but other than that we just sit there. We cry a lot and the other kids in the cell also cry. Itâs so ugly to be locked up all the time.â
I donât think he would be cool with the things that are happening in our detention centers at our Southern border. He probably would want us simply to welcome everyone into the country.
Thatâs way too religious for the Republican party though.
Change the name to âConcentration Camps and Border Patrol.â Weâll just have to order extra "C"s for their logos. Might even be a few available around hereabouts. Then there will be symmetry between their name, demeanor, and mission.
But, if thatâs the debate you want to have, if that is the debate we in America are left with, defending a policy because it doesnât quite extend to the level of extermination camps, then congratulations on what you have won.
âWe are in a metal cage with 20 other teenagers with babies and young children. We have one mat we need to share with each other. It is very cold. We each got a mylar blanket, but it is not enough to warm up. There are benches but we cannot sleep there. Sometimes it is so crowded we cannot find a place to sleep, so they allow a few of us to sleep outside the fenced area. The lights are all of the time.â
This is your secret AmericaâŚand it all starts at the top with trumpâŚhe changed policies and made it worse. The buck stops with him because he sits in the seat.
Too badâŚbut this really isnt shocking.
Not from what Iâve seenâŚ
