77. Will the Bush WH learn from this? Ridiculous that the people in power

have stuff to learn about governance and the security of people in their care. And they are responsible for the wellfare of everyone that crosses the border. Water has been bad at the border site for years. Let us hope it is clean now.

When the facts are in, if it is determined CBP was indeed negligent, I'll be happy to condemn them.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#33
We have facts we can comment on now. You are just ignoring them.	SunSeeker	Dec 2018	#37
My entire point is that commenting and forming conclusions is premature.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#40
Yet you conclude in the OP that CBP "did the best they could."	SunSeeker	Dec 2018	#49
Your emphasis there missed two key words: sounds like.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#52
That is just silly. We have a right to comment on CBP just like you did.	SunSeeker	Dec 2018	#58
If you say so, SunSeeker.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#60
I see you're resorting to sophistry.	SunSeeker	Dec 2018	#68
I see that you don't know what either of those words means.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#76

Jedi Guy: Your post is filled with rightwing talking points	sharedvalues	Dec 2018	#28
Is it really? Which ones are those, exactly?	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#35
You describe yourself as the self-appointed opinion police of progressive opinion on this site.	SunSeeker	Dec 2018	#38
LOL, you're a stitch, SunSeeker.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#41
I see you think you are the only one who can decide when the "full facts" have emerged.	SunSeeker	Dec 2018	#44
If you're going to quote me, at least get it right.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#46
You are projecting and being hypocritical.	SunSeeker	Dec 2018	#53
And there you go again, misrepresenting and twisting.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#55
I see you are the typo police too. nt	SunSeeker	Dec 2018	#59
Yeah, I get paid double for catching typos.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#61
I respect DU readers	sharedvalues	Dec 2018	#73
Nah, it doesn't work that way.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#75
Much easier to push a narrative while cowering behind implication.	LanternWaste	Dec 2018	#84

Hmmm. An incarcerated father, in a position of total weakness, says his incarcerators...	Honeycombe8	Dec 2018	#16
He was speaking to personnel from his country's consulate. He has no reason to lie to them.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#23
To be fair, it's what was reported that got people upset.	Honeycombe8	Dec 2018	#24
I didn't say everyone wants someone innocent to hang.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#25
He was imprisoned. And your headline jumps to conclusions.	sharedvalues	Dec 2018	#30
So because he was imprisoned, it follows logically that he lied to an official from his consulate?	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#36
He is not free to leave. He is trying to get asylum.	SunSeeker	Dec 2018	#39
It's starting to become clear now, I think.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#42
Most likely, the same one alleging...	LanternWaste	Dec 2018	#43
Was wondering when you'd show up, old friend.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#47
Your attack on DUers is gratuitous.	SunSeeker	Dec 2018	#45
I'm sorry you think that an observation about people playing the Blame Game is "gratuitous."	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#48
I accept that your opinion is different. You are the one who can't accept others' opinions.	SunSeeker	Dec 2018	#51
I can absolutely accept that others' opinions differ, and I can absolutely comment on them.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#54
You are the one getting "worked up" by people pointing out how wrong and hypocritical you are.	SunSeeker	Dec 2018	#62
If you say so, SunSeeker.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#63
Yes, you are.	SunSeeker	Dec 2018	#69
Yes. He was imprisoned, so this is coercive.	sharedvalues	Dec 2018	#72

Why?	dpibel	Dec 2018	#26
Is he still in custody?	Squinch	Dec 2018	#56
Per the article, he's at a migrant shelter in El Paso called Annunciation House.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#57
But he's still a guy in a very vulnerable position whose arm could easily be twisted.	Squinch	Dec 2018	#64
I'd agree with you but for one fact.	Jedi Guy	Dec 2018	#65
Absolutely. Coercive situation. He's jailed	sharedvalues	Dec 2018	#74
