      My God. The Trump administration has opened up three "tender age" detention centers in South Texas for babies that have been forcefully taken from their parents. A fourth infant detention center is about to be opened.https://apnews.com/dc0c9a5134d14862ba7c7ad9a811160e …

          To find the root of the problem, you have to research WHY thousands and women and children NEED to flee their countries. This article explains it well. Clinton & Obama executed a coup in Hondouras in 2009. Destroyed economy & ushered in a violent era https://www.telesurtv.net/english/opinion/The-Honduran-Shipwreck-Hillary-Clintons-Coup-Turns-7-20160627-0034.html …

          Reagan in the 80's is far more relevant, backed every right wing junta in South America, and the decision to take children from parents is all Trump's

          Reagan in the 80's is no where near as relevant as the Honduran coup d'etat which immediately affected and fueled the mass migration of displaced peoples fleeing violence. As everywhere Obama, Cheney, Bush, Hillary invaded or interfered, chaos and violence ensued...

          The policy was started in May 2018 by Jeff Sessions, nobody else.

          Correct. The recent zero-tolerance policy was put into place by the Trump administration. The policy of separating children from adults without paperwork or provable familial ties has always been policy, also affecting hundreds of thousands of children over the past few decades.

          Notice that while Rachel Maddow is crying, she is not shedding one tear? I'm attacking the messenger not the message. This story needs to be told. However, Rachel has shown she will do anything for ratings, and this is as close to Glenn Beck as anyone I've ever seen on MSNBC.

          After 20+ years as a lawyer in child protection, I've seen EVERYTHING, so I no longer cry. I'm grateful for the shared emotional reactions to the intense gravity of harm being inflicted on babies. It must stop immediately #FamiliesBelongTogether #KeepFamiliesTogether

          How much have the private prison stock risen? If they're private companies, when were the contracts signed? Will Trump rook the private prisons & not pay the bill? We can't afford CHIP, rescinded last week. He has no congressional authorization for this. Where's the money?

          Why is it wrong to tear up? The thought of having babies who have been forcibly separated from their parents put in detention centers is extremely upsetting! It is traumatizing to the these children. The president of the AAP has discussed how this causes toxic stress to children.

          No. I know that. My point is that.. it is normal to feel these emotions. I don’t worry or judge those who cry in empathy when others are being hurt. I worry about the ones who don’t. Right? 😀
