I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote: Exclusive photos from inside a U.S. Customs and Border Protection temporary overflow facility in Donna, Texas, reveal the crowded, makeshift conditions at the border as the government's longer-term child shelters and family detention centers fill up. Why it matters: Each of eight "pods" in the so-called soft-sided facility has a 260-person occupancy, said Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), who provided the photos to Axios to raise awareness about the situation. But as of Sunday, he said, one pod held more than 400 unaccompanied male minors. Because the Biden administration has restricted media coverage at housing facilities, images like these offer a rare window into conditions. Cuellar, who recently visited a shelter for children, did not tour the Donna facility or take the photos himself. He said the photos were taken over the weekend. What they're saying: Cuellar described the setting as "terrible conditions for the children" and said they need to be moved more rapidly into the care of the Department of Health and Human Services. Border Patrol agents are "doing the best they can under the circumstances" but are "not equipped to care for kids" and "need help from the administration," he said. "We have to stop kids and families from making the dangerous trek across Mexico to come to the United States. We have to work with Mexico and Central American countries to have them apply for asylum in their countries." “I have said repeatedly from the very outset a Border Patrol station is no place for a child," DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told CNN on Sunday. "That is why we are working around the clock to move these children out of the Border Patrol facilities into the care and custody of the Department of Health and Human Services that shelters them.” On MSNBC, he compared the administration's actions to those of the Trump administration,"We are not expelling children, girls, 5, 7, 9 years old back into the desert of Mexico, back into the hands of traffickers.” The bottom line: Facilities are at capacity under coronavirus protocols, and the Rio Grande Valley sector — which includes Donna — has far exceeded even its non-pandemic limits. As of Saturday, there were 10,000 migrants in CBP custody overall. Nearly half were unaccompanied minors — thousands of whom had been waiting for more than 3 days in border patrol facilities, according to government data provided to Axios by another source.

Quote:Originally posted by SignyM: Yeah, just what we need: a flood of impoverished, uneducated, unhealthy, non-English speaking, gringo-resenting border-jumpers who obviously don't respect our laws. Yanno, we can't even house our own homeless, heal our own sick, educate our own inner city youth, and provide jobs for the jobless. What makes anyone think we should take in a million more? But the Dems attitude seems to be that if you jump the border you're entitled to food and water, shelter, and medical care. We treat them better than we treat our own citizens. How about this?: If we don't fuck up their countries in the first place, then we have no moral responsibility to provide a safety valve for their own governments. So let's leave them alone ... no sanctions, no "interventions", no political cover for authoritarian governments, and require them to solve their own problems.

Everyone here knows you're a pervert based on your posts here. Do you really expect anyone to believe that? Dood, we've ALL read SIX's posts and we know what he has, and hasn't, posted. If anyone sounds like a pervert around here it's WISHY. Sounds like she has a deeply manipulative and unhealthy relationship with her husband. Seems like she controls him with sex. In my mind, a woman who uses sex to get what she wants from men is a whore, and that's what she looks like to me. She's disgusting and repulsive. You know, trash. *****. Back on topic

Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: No it won't. They'll just ship more of the jobs overseas. You're so full of shit. Half of the good jobs are already shipped out of the country, with more going that way all the time. And half the US citizens on the bottom are left fighting illegal immigrants who don't belong here in the first place for the shitty jobs that they can't ship overseas. In the meantime... how many people do you suppose those automated tellers at McDonalds put out of work? Or the self checkout lanes at all the grocery and retail stores?

Quote:6ix, you seem to be under the impression that poor people own their jobs, not the rich people who pay the poor.
Quote:Since the poor own almost nothing, nothing is how much say they have in who will do the job and where.
Quote:On the other hand, the government (or even unions) can scare the living hell out of rich people, making the rich jump and do tricks or else lose their wealth. That is very obvious to the wealthy, who have taken steps so that is unlikely to happen.
Quote:As for the poor, they have taken no steps and have no understanding about what the hell is happening and are extremely unlikely to ever expend energy or take intelligent risks to change things, which is exactly why they are poor in the first place.

GDP figures are meaningless to the average person because of its heavily skewed distribution. SECONDRATE: Now you're whining that the rich don't pay high wages to the people on the bottom 50% of the economic ladder. If you want Ebenezer Scrooge to pay more, you could deport most of his labor force made up of illegal Bob Cratchits, or you could have the government (the Ghost of Christmas Future) scare Scrooge into paying more. Making rich Scrooges fearful will work instantaneously, without shrinking the economy by getting rid of the poor Cratchits and Tiny Tims on crutches. Scrooge can pay more thanks to the heavily skewed wealth distribution, but he doesn't feel like paying more.

Quote:Since the poor own almost nothing, nothing is how much say they have in who will do the job and where. Fortunately, we still have a nominal democracy. The question is, will people use their vote-power? Quote:On the other hand, the government (or even unions) can scare the living hell out of rich people, making the rich jump and do tricks or else lose their wealth. That is very obvious to the wealthy, who have taken steps so that is unlikely to happen. Up until Trump, that is. Quote:As for the poor, they have taken no steps and have no understanding about what the hell is happening and are extremely unlikely to ever expend energy or take intelligent risks to change things, which is exactly why they are poor in the first place. No poor person even needs to take any risk at all. Al they need to do is vote for people who will represent them. And the vote will have power at least until the vote loses its anonymity and guards with machine guns enforce who will vote and who will be voted for. Democracy smells like ... freedom.
