    This unusual photo is from the border patrol facility for children who cross the border alone near El Paso. Children are given care, medical treatment, supervision—and the chance to call back to their family.pic.twitter.com/F9gtTp1Vpk

        Quick translation for you: Time for call: 3 minutes. THEY'RE GIVEN 3 MINUTES FOR A PHONE CALL HOME AND YOU'RE ACTING LIKE THIS IS GOOD???!! also, one facility with decent conditions doesn't negate all the other ones that are horrendous.

        "Inmates in the General Population will be issued tablets for the purpose of making phone calls. As each inmate has a tablet there is no scheduling need to make phone calls and inmates are allowed to make up to 60 minutes of phone calls per day." https://corrections.nebraska.gov/mail-telephone-accounting-visiting …

        Children who come ALONE?? OR, children who are SEPARATED? #tellthetruth And, then held for long periods of time w/o seeing a judge & 👏👏allowed to make 3 min phone calls. This is worse than most adult jails & for CHILDREN who may only be legally requesting asylum #BorderCrisis

        When you were asked about the President's tweets you brought up what people say about the President. HE is the President. He should be an example. Politicians will always be criticized. That is part of it. When will the GOP hold him accountable for anything at all???

        1) Not in procedures to allow minors access to phones 2) Many do not have phone numbers for family or friends 3) Not helpful to have a written list of numbers/steps to get an outside line for children who are too young to speak, read or advocate for their needs. #JustStop

        Last time I checked most children enter the country with their family, so I fail to see how this helps at all.
