They don't really know how to return the kids to parents.

It'll be a guessing game, proceedurally. They have no procedures in place to match up parent and child(ren).

There is no policy.

that much worse. Sounds like they never intended to give the kids back to their parents. And the girls and babies are nowhere to be found.

And it made Rachel Maddow goddamn cry on the air.
This is beyond the pale.

REPUBLICANS DID THIS. If we don't take both houses in november, seriously tell me why the fuck I'm voting for the Incompetent Party after that

They don't want them here and this separation policy is supposed to be a deterrent, but not returning these kids to their deported parents, basically leaving them here in this country indefinitely kind of defeats their whole goal, doesn't it?

They are such a bunch of knee jerk assholes. This sounded good to them, sounded like a way to energize their base, by product is it takes the focus off Mueller. Now they've just given themselves thousands of children to deal with. They've "infested" themselves. Stupid fuckers. I can't even express how much I hate Trump and his jack boot thugs.

They are ooening a 4th center for babies and toddlers. Rachel started crying. She couldn't read it.

This infuriates me! Those babies could have been breastfeeding. Some might not even know how to drink from a bottle. Are they helping the mothers that were breastfeeding with not being able to express their milk? I can't imagine there is decent care in there.

How many will die that we'll never hear about? Fuckers!
