I think it is wonderful to donate. I think it is another thing for Americans to be taxed, and parents have to pay for kids who are foreigners with parents who did not want to stay in their home country and work to fix it. The good thing is they can come here, and not bring their supplies and get us to pay for it.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Don't incarcerate them for breaking our law and crossing into our country illegally? Are you suggesting we allow all of them to freely walk across our border and wander around the streets of our cities? Stop them at the border before they enter the country and we would not have this problem.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Ok, let everyone apply for asylum if they want, but have them wait in their home country until their application is approved. That would also help to solve the problem, there would be no need to arrest or detain them then.

Capt Gregory Prickett - The asylum system is being abused and taken advantage of. Just wanting to come here to work and have a better life is a good reason for wanting to come, but it does not qualify for asylum. I'm afraid that most people coming over here just don't understand that, or are being misinformed before they get here.

Washington Times

“Court documents show Central Americans pay a rate close to the $8,000 average Homeland Security cited last year.

The money is split among the “coyotes,” or guides, who shepherd the migrants through Central America and Mexico to the border; the stash house operators and smugglers who transport them to their final destinations in the U.S.; and the major cartels that oversee all sides of the operation.”

Yet have no money for basic necessities? That’s a lot of cash to pay to gain access to our concentration camps which are better than the accommodations FDR provided actual Japanese-Americans.

Further there is significant catch and release to our communities that already are overloaded with poor and homeless. BTW, as you are well aware many have had hearings and have deportation orders. The only way they will leave is if they are caught and deported. This number is far higher today.

Maj John Bell - "CBP cannot obligate funds it does not have. That is the law."

Correct. And the judicial remedy is to release people when you cannot adequately house them. The federal courts ordered California to release over 40,000 convicted felons because the state could not or would not house them properly. These are detainees who have not been convicted of a misdemeanor, much less a felony, and further, they are children, who get even more protection.

Look, I get that Christian supporters of Trump can't bring themselves to criticize anything that he does because they like the power that they have obtained. But I really thought that the mistreatment of children would bring some reaction from them, some compassion, some call for a change in how these children are being treated. I wish that you would prove me wrong, but I'm not holding my breath.

Capt Gregory Prickett - And there it is!!! It all comes back to religion with you. Exactly what power that Christian's have gained? Exactly what sweeping power have we gained that allows us to "impose" our faith on and oppress anti-theists?

The Flores agreement has unintended consequences. Children are purchased as "get out of detention free cards" South of the border; Used to limit their "parents'" time in detention then abandoned or sold into sex slave rings. The problem is congress's making and the CPB is being told how jury rig inadequate solutions. "Release them" sounds good until the release point is a sanctuary city. Then it is "dirty politics."

Maj John Bell - The problem is that neither you nor the President care about treating detainee children in a humane manner.

While the federal government is charged $120-$300 per night, nobody can provide them soap and toothbrushes. This is pure stupidity and greed being an obstacle for humane treatment.
