Toothbrushes and Soap


Those poor illegal immigrant children, who have been ripped from their mothers’ arms at our southern border, are all made to sleep on concrete floors and are not given toothbrushes and soap (did they not bring these necessities with them in their trek across Mexico?) Our border patrol are running “concentration camps” where families are kept in cages and are deprived of basic health care ... all by that tyrant President Trump.

I’ve heard these Democrat accusations so many times (just now on NPR) that I have come to treat them as inflated propaganda directed at deflecting the inaction of the Democrat House from dealing with our immigration crisis at the border. For many months Pelosi’s posse denied their was such a crisis ... and now, having been forced to retract this lie, are trying to offload the blame for their inaction.

Somehow I doubt that such “inhumane” actions on the Trump aministration’s part are generally true ... but our media, once given this lead, goes off at a full gallop. Do they send an unbiased reporter to see how many illegal immigrant children are suffering these indignities? Of course not. They’re too good to ignore so let’s go with the allegation that children are being “tortured.”

Latest news is that the House may pass a $4.5 billion emergency appropriation to deal with this crisis ... but have loaded it up with restrictions to tie DHS’s hands ... see: FoxNews Story. To summarize, “If you want to aid the immigrant children Trump, we will help you as long as we can keep and expand our open borders.” Trump may be forced to veto this Trojan Horse.

Such cynical political dreck!

Afterward: one provision of the $4.5 billion Democrat House bill is that there is no money allowed to fund new detention center beds ... what absolute hypocrisy!

I am astounded by your insensitivity to human misery. You blame the Dems! Didn't the US (under GOP Presidents) overthrow democratically elected governments in Guatemala and Honduras? And then let dictators turn them into shitholes? These refugees are the legacy of that.

A smoke signal from the virtuous... What did you (or Obama) do to fix things? What are the left coast Libs doing to house their tens of thounsads of homeless?

I thought that they are climate refugees?

You remind me of Mike Pence: "Nothing to see here folks, and if something seems bad it is Obama's fault, or Hillary's. These kids - if they even exist - should have brought their toothbrushes with them."

Can I compare you to AOC?

ChillFin said...

Please stop using AOC as a basis for judgements about a party. She is a fledgling in every aspect of politics. Except maybe the counseling the bartenders are known for.

I’ll stop when her party distances itself from her. Watch for more tomorrow.

Saint, You are spot-on about AOC. Perhaps she embodies everything the GOP hates: an uppity woman with a chip on her shoulder. Demonizing her is easier than actually addressing historical blunders that have come back to haunt us.
