A prison is a prison. That’s true whether it’s called a “family residential facility,” or a “rapid-processing center.” These facilities must be torn down, not renamed.
I know what it’s like to be incarcerated as a child. I’m a Japanese-American who was born behind barbed wire, in the maximum-security Tule Lake Segregation Center during World War II. When I was two years old, I was transferred to the Crystal City Family Internment Camp, run by the Immigration and Naturalization Service — the agency that evolved decades later into ICE. It is just a 20-minute drive away from Carrizo Springs and 45 minutes from the newly rebranded “reception center” in Dilley. When I see migrant children incarcerated today, I cannot help but recall my own childhood. And when I’ve met these children, I’ve seen the same trauma in their eyes that I continue to work through today.

Isn't it a crime against humanity to encourage children to come via danger?
Brilliant.
Tear down the facilities. Then, where will they sleep, Satsuki?
Encouraging the parents to send kids is Biden’s crime.
More simple questions...
- Shouldn’t the parents of these “unaccompanied children” (some as young as 6) be arrested for child endangerment?
- Who pays the hundreds of thousands of dollars (millions?) needed to organize tens of thousands of “migrants” and accompanied “unaccompanied children”, and guide them and feed them and otherwise take care of them on a two thousand mile trek?
- and why don’t they stay in mexico (or Mexico invite them to stay there) where they already speak the language and have similar culture?
- And why are we always the suckers and saps, played like a drum, by the “compassion” pimps?
Very valid points. All of them.
Doesn’t NANCY have a nice 12 acre walled place? Put them there with ice cream for all.
I like how the author says, “I can’t help but recall my own childhood.”
You were two. You remember it that vividly? And, please, do tell me: Where are all of these people supposed to go? They’re supposed to aimlessly wander the streets of our country, especially when we don’t know their bqckground or if they’re COVID positive? Considering how Democrats want to overturn life because of COVID, they’re not showing much care here.
