A group of Texans trying to donate $340 worth of diapers, toys, and hygienic supplies for children being held at a Border Patrol facility in Texas, were told the center doesn’t take donations. A report by the Texas Tribune tells the story of a group of friends who were struck by news reports of the substandard, filthy conditions children are forced to live under in many Border Patrol facilities. But when the group tried to help by taking fresh supplies of toothbrushes, toys, and diapers, they were rejected. Last week, Democratic State Rep. Terry Canales tweeted about how he wrote to Border Patrol to find out how his constituents could help those in need in the centers, but was told that Border Control does not accept donations. “The whole situation is disgusting, but I’m always hopeful that the better part of us as human beings will shine through,” Canales said. “Those children feel like the world has given up on them, and we have to fight for them.”

1. Democrats and activists should begin planning on how to liberate these camps.

Beginning with a mass public declaration of Democrat running President demanding the liberation of the camps.
Use the terminology used during WWII. LIBERATE THE CAMPS.

2. But Trumps DHS is begging for money for these facilites!!

3. Okay....

This made my blood pressure go up about 10 notches.

This means that tRump is truly only intent on torturing these kids. Since he's declared war on refugees, wouldn't the Geneva Convention apply?

4. My take - the kids are hostages

The Con and his goons plan to blame Dems for the conditions because they won't give him his border money.

They don't give a flying fuck about these children

7. Yeah, it's extortion.

He knows that compassionate Ds will do everything in their power to help these children. Trump considers our compassiin a weakness.

8. That is the correct word

EXTORTION
