And our government is eager to give them what they want, regardless of the consequences. After all, who cares what happens to a brown child? It takes a special kind of evil to show complete disregard for children's welfare and safety.

It is the most shameful thing ever done domestically in modern times, worse even than Japanese internment where at least families were kept together and some reparations made eventually.

Not since slavery and the slaughter of the Native Americans a century and a half ago have we seen anything so vile and hurtful on such a widespread basis within the U.S. borders.

And they thumped their bibles while committing both of those atrocities, just as they are thumping their bible now, Franklin Graham and Pat Robertson leading the way. A sick warped God indeed. Hell is a dry heat and there will never be Fox News or Evilgelical HipoChristians, if you believe God is all theirs.

the tents and cages FAST. I wonder just how planned this was? Someone with authority should find out how much this is costing, since I bet tRump's friends are getting paid for the "private prisons" Maybe once the crooks in this administration are convicted, their assets should go towards PAYING taxpayers back for the millions spent. Disgraceful period in US history, from the most unqualified president ever. The gop has to pay for this giant mistake.

My personal business is writing adoption reports. I put families together. This is anathema to my mental wiring. And, as someone who was temporarily separated from her parents at age 4 (left home alone “by accident”), I can say that trauma has never completely left me and definitely altered my personality. I grieve inside for these families. IMO, they need to look into Betsy DeVos sham adoption agency.

1940s is when the Holocaust and the gas chambers started. 1930s were the preliminary stages when families were separated in camps and Jews were demonized as vermin.

They have no idea where those children are because they never, ever planned on reuniting them with their parents. It wasn't a bug, it was a feature. They thought it would keep people from coming in because they don't understand what they were fleeing.

A child doesn't just demateralize. Somebody has those children. They went to a home or an institution somewhere. They are somewhere with someone unless they were all murdered and then we have an even bigger problem on our hands.

Somebody knows where they are. You don't just have a child show up on your doorstep. Somebody took them. So they were separated and kidnapped or murdered, but someone knows where they went and are.

They were transported and relocated. There has to be a paper trail. It may not contain any identifying details but someone knows something and I would bet my life on that.

They are somewhere. The people who know where these children are, are hiding in plain sight. And they are evil for having given the manufacturers of this scheme, a way to hide the missing children.

It's our job to see to it that these kids **DO** see their parents again.

Even if Trump and his co-conspirators have "adopted them out" to "good Christian homes".

This child kidnapping ***must not*** stand.

Those involved ***must*** be held criminally accountable.

Jail time.

For **everyone** involved.

That simple.

No compromise on this. Jail the bastards who are responsible. All of them.

why we think that stories about caged children made orphans by the government or working families losing their houses during the shut down will do anything to touch the soulless creatures who vote republican.

They didn't care when four and five year olds were shot to death in their classrooms at Sandy Hook. That tells you everything about them.

What they care about is some white athlete who might have his scholarship taken away because he raped a girl. They care about the blonde white girl who was scared by a gardener. They care about bret kavanaugh.


Nothing of human suffering touches them.
