If the conditions for the prisoners at the border are so good...

Why don't we have Trump, Pence and McConnell stay there for a few weeks with no food, water, showers or toothbrushes? Oh and they have to wash in the same place they pee. Hey if it's good enough for them...

Zoo animals are treated a lot better than those poor souls in Trump's cages. If a zoo treated its animals that badly there would be a huge outcry and the zoo would be shut down.

These are zoo animals:



Some people disapprove of zoos and believe all animals should live in the wild, but at least in this zoo this tiger has plenty of room to roam, play and sleep, all the food she needs without having to hunt or go hungry, a pond to swim in and fresh air, and she has her babies with her. That's a hell of an improvement over the conditions Trump has inflicted on the immigrants.

in its care much better by a mile. Someone with standing really ought to file a complaint with the UN Human Rights Commission. It has to be someone with intimate knowledge of what's going on and has been in these places. Maybe it's a job for AOC.
