The “they’re not cages, they are chainlink partitions” talking point making the rounds on the right is bizarre.

"Wow can I see the cage?" "It's called a security pen." "Oh what's it for?" "We cage people in it."pic.twitter.com/ufq3CEbeHL

Do we call them “cages” when they’re used in jails & prisons?
-
You certainly could. I'd love to hear your preferred term for the cage-like structures, though.
-
Sure, it’s a colloquialism. We usually call them “cells” and any journalist using a term other than cells for them is showing their hand as a partisan.
-
My real question is, when separation policy ends (and it will) will we be hearing about the inhumanity involved in putting intact families arrested crossing the border illegally in “cages”? Or will they suddenly become acceptable Security measure like they were prior to Jan ‘17?
-
I would certainly be more amenable to that. I don't know that cages or pens or whatever you want to call them are inhumane in temporary detention centers as long as people aren't kept there for very long.
-
I agree, but you can be assured the full throated screaming from the Left won’t cease until we no longer detain people crossing the border illegally.
-
I don't doubt that but it doesn't have any impact on what I think about the current policy.

Hi

What is your point you’re trying to make with this post? That because past administrations have done something perhaps similar, it justifies enacting such a policy that mandates and increases Family separation and children being caged?

You two do realize everybody has seen the same exact images during Obama's tenure, right? I know you look down on the American people and all, but they usually pick up on these facts and note the hypocrisy. Entire reason you have Trump right now.
