A 17-year-old Honduran migrant described babies sleeping on a cold floor. A teen mother said her sick baby was unable to open her eyes for two days but no one responded to her pleas for help. Another teenager took charge of a 5-year-old stranger because the small child was very upset and had no one else after being separated from her father. In filings in federal court in Los Angeles late on Wednesday, attorneys for migrant children asked a federal judge to hold the U.S. government in contempt of court for “flagrant and persistent” violations of the terms of a 1997 agreement that governs the treatment of children in immigration detention. They requested immediate action be taken to remedy the “deplorable” conditions.

Where did the kids sleep on their bus and airplane rides, uh, trek here? Maybe that baby wouldn't be sick if mama hadn't dragged him 2000 miles. Or why didn't she seek medical care in Mexico? IF, and that's a big if, their "concentration camps" are so deplorable, then why don't they do their business in the toilets and flush them instead of taking dumps any and everywhere? I'm betting those Wayfair beds will need to be burned in a week from all the urine and bugs and other germs.

There are pictures all over the internet of the nice facilities these crimillegals have. Classrooms and playgrounds for the kids, barbershops, dorm style beds, medical facilities and cafeterias that serve 3 hots a day.

There’s a picture floating around of OAC holding her face in her hands supposedly crying about the horrible conditions behind a cyclone fence. Truth be told, she’s faking it because there’s no little deprived kids on other other side of the fence. In fact, the other side of the fence is a parking lot. Whomever challenges her seat next time should use that.

All the Honduran medical personnel are at our hospitals treating US citizens. Of course, they don’t speak English and graduated from who knows where.

The next step is for Trump to declare a total moratorium on all people entering the U.S.
