Discussion: Border Patrol 'Very Uncomfortable' With Word 'Cages,' But Admits It's Accurate

Putting them in cages IS treating them like animals. Jesus the goalposts are just whizzing right by.

They reportedly added that though there “may be” cages, the people inside them are not treated like animals.

They’re not treating people like animals, they’re treating “illegals” like animals. It’s sooooo much easier to commit atrocities when you dehumanize ‘people’.

I wonder if the federal employees think they’re only doing their jobs when they look through the cage bars at the children. Do they go to comfort the truly small ones and figure the 3-5 year olds just need to cry it out? Perhaps they think if it weren’t for their dogged humanism someone worse, who doesn’t care as much, would be in their place?

The word cage makes us uncomfortable, but the actual cages? They’re cool.

Branding issue: Conservatives don’t understand cruelty until it happens to them and theirs, recommend emphasizing the immorality of the our actions at the border and don’t let up.

It’s also unfortunate that Conservatives don’t recognize we’re also creating a future and uncomfortably geologically close version of ISIS for the future.

O you’re uncomfortable? Imagine how the children in the cages feel.

Just following dear leaders actual words. Or was call people animals another joke noone got

Remember the RWNJ conspiracy theory about federal agencies under Obama secretly preparing concentration camps in vacant Wal-Marts?

Actual number of people put in such camps under Obama: Zero.

Ditto under Trump: Still counting.

If they are in cages they are treated as animals. Do you really want to be Trump’s Brown Shirts?

The mere fact of putting children in cages is practically the definition of treating them like animals.

The family separation is terrible. Shame on them.
Fund the wall or we hurt these children.

But it brings to mind a funny magazine…

“if you don’t buy this magazine we’ll kill this dog!”
