    CBP made us check our phones. But one woman slipped me this packet to take with me. It says “shampoo,” but she told me that this is all they give women to wash their entire body. Nothing else. Some women’s hair was falling out. Others had gone 15 days without taking a shower.pic.twitter.com/OsaKS0YD9a

        Well you in Congress failed the illegals. You were told multiple times there was an emergency at the border. Not enough resources. Overwhelmed with the number of illegals. Your answer was it was made up and you voted “no” for any funding. YOU did this!

        Well, here's the funny thing. They wouldn't be 'overwhelmed' with detaining everyone if they weren't detaining everyone. Seriously, I know the 'catch and release' boogeyman is strong, but it works at a 95%+ rate for people showing back up. And the money saved (/1)

        could easily be used to bolster immigration lawyers and judges at the border to handle the workload without the massive backlog. But then again, the cruelty is the point, isnt it?(/Fin)

        People keep saying the inmates are free to go. Are they also free to accept deliveries? E.g. If I ordered a basket of groceries online could I direct it to Juan Domingo c/o Clint detention centre ? I’d like to see that DHL truck roll up ....

        I do not recall anyone providing them with beds and meals and soap or anything. And they came legally.

        If this is “your” nation you should know what we inscribed in the Statue of Liberty. You should know that asylum is completely legal. You should know that this is the country of inmigrants.

        You should know that the Statue of Liberty has a poem, not immigration policy.

        What about the constitutional right to asylum? Is that a poem too? How dare you call yourself a Christian. “As you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.”

        They passed through stable and safe countries to get to the US. If asylum was truly their goal they’d have stopped before they got here
