In another thread about this topic in general, I asked a member how she would fix the problems at the border, and I got no answer. Nobody has any solutions, but they block anything that might help. And now, some in Congress (the loudest) are saying they don't support giving more money to CBP and they want to abolish that agency as well as ICE. That attitude is what has me frustrated! THEY caused a problem, and then REFUSE to do anything to solve it. And yes, it does bother me that the detainment centers are referred to as concentration camps. I know that they are essentially the same, but that particular terminology is not even appropriate for this, imo. There are just so many differences, especially in how the people came to even be in the camps. I find it odd that you, of all people here, are OK with calling the centers concentration camps...
But, hey, since you're here, what would YOU do to fix the problem at the border?

And ultimately, we all have a right to express our opinions. That’s not “bitching”. If you don’t want to read the opinions of others, then maybe you should stay if this site because that’s exactly what you’ll be reading everyday. Do you tell everyone to “stop their bitching” when you don’t like what they have to say?
I’m guessing I hit a nerve with these facts and it’s too disturbing for you to realize that America is indeed running concentration camps for these poor, innocent people. But telling me to shut up won’t change that.

Why don't you call your congressman and try to get more funding for the border crisis, instead of bitching about all the problems there at the border?
Oh, and let's not forget that this crisis is practically 100% preventable, and would be much less severe if we had a secure border, and no benefits for the illegals.

Did you watch “Empire of the Sun”? The kid was in a concentration camp. Just because it wasn’t a death camp like Auschwitz, it doesn’t make it any less an actual concentration camp.
And BTW, did you know that several people at the border’s concentration camps have lost their lives already? The conditions are inhuman, but it’s acceptable for Trump and his supporters because they’ve worked hard in dehumanizing and vilifying these people. And it’s already caused several deaths. It’ll only get worse.
