The conditions are deplorable. The amount of time is gross. Obviously no child should be subject to the abuse that some have faced. But at some point we have to be realistic. We have a border for a reason.
Agree, but I believe we differ as to where we draw the line. I'm not okay with breaking families up at the border. Being a parent myself, I realize how damaging that can be. I'd be okay with detaining families under certain conditions. The modified motels from the 90s were okay, as each family had a somewhat decent living space, but they'd need to be better. Children should have access to education, and even recreation. Conditions need to be improved all-around, including at temporary holds.
