The Worlds most affluent nation, the home of the free, the United States of America has sunk to a new low in its treatment of refugees. This time it is innocent children who are being separated from their parents, and then caged like animals in a Texan detention centre.

"One cage had 20 children inside. Scattered about are bottles of water, bags of chips [crisps] and large foil sheets intended to serve as blankets," the Associated Press reports.

In my opinion outrageous treatment of innocent children.

"Caged like animals in a detention centre".

Talk about purple prose, Paul! They have been retained like all illegals. They would not be treated any differently from any other wrong-doer in America. Of course, if you can produce evidence that children are locked in an ACTUAL CAGE (something that doesn't happen to even the worst criminals), I will concede. But, you seem to be still suffering shock from the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale.

Hi Paul,

Will this still be going on next Winter ? Thousands of kids sleeping on concrete floors with tin-foil 'blankets' ?

According to Trump, why ? Because their parents are all criminals and drug-smugglers, probably perverts as well, he says. I wonder if they could mount a class action against him for, at least, defamation ? Keep your eye on the Hispanic vote in next November's Congressional elections. That mongrel has already lost the Black vote, so now the Hispanic vote as well. Oh well, there goes California, and now maybe Texas as well. And, of course, the 'GOP' has lost the vote of anybody with any sense of decency and integrity, perhaps even some of the Evangelicals. Nah. But some of his mates must be shirting themselves about November.

Cheers,

Joe

The orig of this tactic was during the Obama presidency, did not hear anyone here say anything then.

Of course our Paul would like to see the US over run with the dross of the world.

Ratbags like Obama have already done immense damage to the US & the well being of it's people, but ratbags like the greens won't be happy until it is driven down to the equal of some failed African state, the same future they would like for OZ, & all western civilisation.

Gate crashers & boarder ram raiders are not innocent, regardless of their age. Once they enter a territory they have no right to enter they are criminals. Perhaps the kids had little choice, if dragged there by their parents, but criminals none the less.

Try blaming the right people some time Paul. Blame the parents, & the Mexican government, who like Indonesia, facilitate the traversing of their country to the US boarder by these people. If Mexico did not allow their passage, there would be no gate crashers crossing the USboarder.

Paul1045,
Unless you're a Muslim I don't think Trump would stop you from going to these camps & help look after these poor children. If I'm not wrong there are quite a number of flights to the US every day & you can take as much as $10,000 in cash with you. That would buy a lot of blankets from a third world child labour factory. Let us konw how you go ?
All the very best, I'll be thinking of you.
