Border Facility Conditions Are President Donald Trump's Decision: Dick Durbin | Morning Joe | MSNBC

Mitch McConnell. Senate rules be damned. That evil man needs to be put in a cage

[phenixwryter]

Congress must do oversight on the matters of these migrant children and other migrants being sent to these camps. Our own investigators must be allowed to examine the health and welfare of all of the detainees, examine all of the facilities and all of the financial records, and report back to Congress. We are paying for this, and we have a right to know exactly what is happening. Senator Durbin, I know y'all have your hands full keeping our national ship afloat, but this is yet another matter that must be thoroughly investigated.

Are they being abused sexually and/or physically? Who is keeping tabs on that? How scary! My heart just breaks.

[BonerMaroner]

$775 per child per day we could put them in the best hotels in the country. Jails for profit sounds like greedy capitalism is getting its 2 cents out of this equation.

[philoneill]

This is Steven Miller's doing. He should be arrested and banished.

[golbyhendrix]

If trumps makes it to jail I hope he has these conditions permanently

[unrulysimian]

Okay. You're right, Trump supporters. Their parents shouldn't have put them in that situation.
Now, let's address the actual problem being discussed.
Kids ARE dying. Kids are dying and being neglected in conditions we don't tolerate for animals.
It needs to be stopped. Period.
Forget your what-aboutism and attempts to shift blame.
This falls squarely on ALL our shoulders.

Why hasn't this been reported to the United Nations? Prisoners of war are treated more humanely than these men women and children seeking asylum!

The UN needs to step in an charge traitor-trump with crimes against humanity, and GET IT DONE!!!

[c.c.c.]

We've run out of words to describe Donald Trump. How about one word that sums it all up - MONSTER.

[billiejean]

Someone should organize a protest in Washington called "Grandma's Love Immigrant Children".. I would myself but I am not savy in computers and social media to get it started. I couldn't tell you how I even managed to get on facebook….it was just a stroke of luck I guess. lol But I find it so appalling that those in power do not recognize what a sin is being committed against these children. Is this the best that the United States is willing to do for them? Shame!

[bunchoffuckingbullshit]

Welcome to the Unazi States of Amerika!

The treatment of these CHILDREN is DISGUSTING. Trump sent aide to SAUDI ARABIA - and ADVERSARY of the US - but he REFUSES to give CHILDREN - Many Under the age of 5 years old - TOOTHPASTE, SOAP and Blankets? #ImpeachTrumpNOW

[SacredGrooves]

Sen. Durbin is my Senator and I am so glad he has been staying on top of this issue.

[rhondak]

Morning Joe, please continue to call Trump and his appalling administration to the carpet. You are a treasure to this country who needs to be accurately informed of these disgraceful actions and policies. Also, Elise Jordan is such a treasure 👍🏻

[A._is_for]

One fewer trip to mar a lago should cover the cost...and maybe get something done
