Laura Ingraham: The cages where kids are being held are ‘essentially summer camps’

So, she would send her kids there, then?

Bet she wouldn't.

She’s a mean spirited cunt.

But OP has NO trouble calling invaders undocumented workers/migrants, clandestine immigrants, etc. Benign, nonsensical language is permissible only when it suits a specific agenda.

"Summer camps" ah yes I remember this were very popular back then.

That bitch is out of her immoral mind.

AS IF this fucking country would pay to send kids to summer camp. If it looked and operated like a summer camp for kids, the GOP would have none of it.

The left siding with criminals as usual. Birds of a feather.

I swear I wish someone would kidnap any of these people, and make them sleep here just for 24 hours.

LOL.... Oh, you poor thing, R6. You're really going to go all in that these children being separated from their parents are "criminals." Please continue. Really. Go with that. We want you to keep attacking us on this.

“Invaders”? You psychos make me sick to my stomach. What poor imitations of human beings you are. I wish only bad things for you. You know, pain as an incentive.

The whole "cages" thing is a bit overdramatic though. They're in a temporary yard surrounded by chain link fencing. A cage makes you think of children in small animal cages as in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. This is more like an outdoor jail for children, like a concentration camp.

Gee Laura, how generous of you.

Is 2-4 the childrens “free” time?!

Oh, well, okay then.

[quote] This is more like an outdoor jail for children

So, outdoor cages, unprotected from the heat, humidity, rain, insects etc.? Sounds nice.

She's a troll who, in a better world, would be ignored. She LIVES for this attention.

In all fairness, I saw the inside of one of the dorms last night and it really was nice. Flat screen TVs, cute duvets and dust ruffles, basketball hoops/nets and game tables. I saw nothing which looked remotely like a cage.

Free Range!!!!

r13 yes and at night the children are kept warm in the salt mines beneath the camps. Salt is a natural insulator.

What a relief.

I'm sure Trump has cameras installed in the bathrooms/showers/bedrooms ...Hey! It's just like Big Brother!

r3 You racist, drooling idiot.

The quality of their jail isn't really the issue though is it? If a child is kidnapped no one says "well, the kidnapper had a flat screen so it's all good!"

Would you expect anything less from Laura Ingraham? She is a bitch.

[quote]I saw the inside of one of the dorms last night and it really was nice

I'm not seeing the flat screen TVs and cute duvets in these photos.

See they're held in protected zones where the pedophiles can't get at them.

Isn't this bitch barren?

her soul is.

The difference here is when you really hate summer camp, your parents can come and get you.

Re the "cute duvets" and "game tables"--

"“No amount of colorful rooms with lots of great toys, regular meals, and health and education services takes away the psychological impact of losing your parents,” said Luis Zayas, the dean of UT Austin’s School of Social Work. “The damage that will be done will last a lifetime.”

After visiting a shelter in Texas, the president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Colleen Kraft, in a television interview, likened what she saw to abuse.

"It is a form of child abuse," Kraft told CBS News. "This type of trauma can be long-lasting, and it's difficult to recover from this. We know very young children go on to not develop their speech, not develop their language, not develop their gross and fine motor skills and wind up with developmental delays."

So the US is again committing war crimes against civilian children

I used my last F&F on R15.

Where is the voice of the UN condemning this policy? Proves to me, the UN is useless and should be disbanded.

U.N. Rights Chief Tells U.S. to Stop Taking Migrant Children From Parents

The United Nations’ top human rights official on Monday entered the mounting furor over the Trump administration’s policy of separating undocumented immigrant children from their parents, calling for an immediate halt to a practice he condemned as abuse.

He cited an observation by the president of the American Association of Pediatrics that locking the children up separately from their parents constituted “government-sanctioned child abuse.”

“The thought that any state would seek to deter parents by inflicting such abuse on children is unconscionable,” Mr. al-Hussein said.

The high commissioner’s office had already condemned the practice of separating children from their parents this month, calling it a serious violation of children’s rights and international law. That drew an angry rebuke from Nikki R. Haley, the United States ambassador to the United Nations, who accused the agency of ignorance and hypocrisy.

How many send their 2 yr old to camp?

Like Kamp Krusty?

You know what pisses me off, these jerks think children ripped away from their parent actually WANT to play with toys and that toys ARE EQUVALENT to being with their parents. That is some majorly f*cked up thinking by the so called “family values” party. They can take their so called family values and shove them up their a**.

So, are these facilities the "FEMA camps" that right wing loonies were bitching and moaning about a few years ago?

Good god, what has our country become? This is just gut wrenching.

They have Playstation. I don't have Playstation.

The outrage is because of the chainlink. If the walls were made of concrete or wood no one would be upset.

Pool tables and foosball. I don't have that.

Flatscreens, video games, tai chi.

Of course, the Western World believes things are equivalent to being with family members. That’s why you have young white men shooting up schools and killing their peers.

[quote]Flatscreens, video games, tai chi.

Don't worry, kids, we'll fill the void we caused by ripping your parents away with nightly showings of Moana.

R43 oh please! They.’re showing them “Coco”.

I get the feeling the kids are enjoying themselves more than they would be if they were with their parents. They’re being well cared for and making friends. Don’t let the 1% manipulate you once again.

R41 linked to an article and pictures that are damning, not vindicating. It's clear from the pictures that they are indeed in prison. That's what prisons look like. Except prisoners actually know the whereabouts of their family members and are even permitted visitation.

People asking for asylum are NOT breaking American laws. In fact they are following American laws.

[quote] I get the feeling the kids are enjoying themselves

Yes, let's go with your "feelings" on the matter.

R40, you willing to go live there? or to send your kids there?

I don't remember any summer camp that ripped me from my parents and made me attend without my consent.

These are CONCENTRATION CAMPS

I don't think it would matter if these children were being housed in suites at the Beverly Hills Hotel. They have been unceremoniously taken from their parents and have no idea where they are or what's going to happen to them. Can you even begin to imagine the terror of a small child in these circumstances? Even if this situation is reversed tomorrow and everyone is reunited, the psychological damage is done.

And right on cue:

BREAKING FROM REUTERS: U.S. plans to announce withdrawal from U.N. Human Rights Council on Tuesday - source

Elections have consequences.

I hope Americans wake up and make changes in November.

Some of the kids were ripped as they were being breast-fed. Yup, even infants.

The news reported that at least one parent has committed suicide. Others have been deported back to their countries WITHOUT their children.

THIS IS NUTS!

Trump belongs in a cage.

Some of the kids were drunk and making prank phone calls to SENIOR CITIZENS!

I don't think jail has all those amenities. Maybe the flat screen but none of the other things.

R44, I say this with no respect whatsoever:

You are a fucking moron and the world would be better off without you in it.

Any chance repugs will be outraged by her comment and have her pulled from the airwaves?

Laura Ingraham and Nikki Haley are two of the most ugliest deplorable cunts to walk this earth. They will pay for this.

Love this bitch!

There are some disgusting posts on this thread. Let's just keep in mind that none of these children have been returned to their parents. To enforce the existing law, children need not be separated from their parents. This is a ploy- not the law- to scare people. And Trump is also using it to get his wall (which is madness on a level uncharted in our history) and also saying the internment of children is the Democrats fault- "reform" needed including his wall.

God I hope for justice, and that the better angels among the American people put this man away in the coming elections as well as Sessions, Miller and the rest of this bunch of misanthropes- Pruitt, DeVos, Carson, Perry- all of them.

They won't.

R44, FF.

Even my mud hut is decorated nicer than this!

Thank you R67

BREAKING FROM REUTERS: U.S. plans to announce withdrawal from U.N. Human Rights Council on Tuesday

They have plans to go further with this. It’s going to get worse.

Will this be the Summer of Culling? get to them before they get to the polls?

R69 So much for leading Western World and protecting its rights and values.

Yes...Trump is letting the world, as well as U.S. citizens. there is no place for "human rights" in the Donald Trump administration.

Agree with your sentiment, r67, but not willing to bet that either of them will pay for this. So far, the most salient thing about the garbage running this country is that there's never any reckoning. They keep doing what they do, and we shake our fists at the sky and curse them.

GOP trying to say that women who go to prison in the US have children taken away. Difference is they have been convicted of a crime. No one’s been convicted here

Mike "Christian" Pence! This craven hypocrite deserves to be excoriated by the religious community.

The other difference is that there are usually family members who care for the kids when an American mom goes to prison.

Das ganz normale Sommercamp!

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

The only alternative to this cruelty and chaos was to elect a person who used a personal email account for work, so you can see why it was a tough call for so many people.

Wasn't Matthew one of Hillary's big detractors? Honest question.

Will the EU in junta with Canada and Mexico, please, invade us on the grounds of boundless human rights abuses and overthrow Tangerine Sputnik in a coup? Please?!

Why is no one boycotting her advertisers? Last time David Hogg did this, everyone pulled out.

Hogg this morning called for another boycott.

lol no R79

He got shit on big time by the Bernie bros

R23 Clearly that picture you posted is not of the dorms where the kids have their rooms.

That is like you posting a photo of the jetway and saying, I don't see any wide, comfortable seating that you spoke of in Business Class.

[quote]Clearly that picture you posted is not of the dorms where the kids have their rooms.

Clearly you didn't scroll down to see the "rooms" these particular kids are staying in.

Laura waves and sends her love.

Heil right back atcha, Laurie.
