It is true whenever there has been a surge in the number of asylum seekers or even in just illegal border crossings not connected to asylum, we have had unsanitary conditions in these detention centers because THERE IS JUST NOT ENOUGH SPACE OR FACILITIES TO HOLD A THOUSAND PEOPLE WHEN IT IS DESIGNED FOR 400...Like the place Pence visited, where those men were detained, there is not enough room for them to lay down separately, they have no access to showers, to brushing their teeth, and some say everything is okay? obama changed the policy for asylum seekers so that they were given ankle monitors and let go until their hearing came up, to deal with that aspect, and according to sources I have seen, 97% of them showed up for their hearing. but trump has gone out of his way to dehumanize and to vilify all these asylum seekers and illegals as invaders, as dangerous threats to our security, and that is total bullshit and just a freaking racist dog whistle for his bigoted base. the senate has obstructed funding for these facilities and any real common sense reform in how the process works. And there is no moral or legal or common sense excuse for Trump purposely separating kids from parents...I sincerely hope he goes to hell for that.
and everybody on both sides seems to conveniently forget the only way to stop illegals from coming here to find a better life for themselves and their families, is to get dead serious about e-verify for all american companies and individuals. that makes it against the law to hire someone without an e-verification, and make the punishment of these Americans tough enough for them to get the message.
When it is almost impossible for any person in this country illegally to get any kind of job, they will not come and those here will not stay.
