    Four toddlers were so severely ill and neglected at a U.S. Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, that lawyers forced the government to hospitalize them last week.

    The children, all under age 3 with teenage mothers or guardians, were feverish, coughing, vomiting and had diarrhea, immigration attorneys told HuffPost on Friday. Some of the toddlers and infants were refusing to eat or drink. One 2-year-old’s eyes were rolled back in her head, and she was “completely unresponsive” and limp, according to Toby Gialluca, a Florida-based attorney.


    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/four-...b07ae90d9cfe4f







    The Associated Press reported this week that children in border facilities don’t have adequate access to food, water, soap or showers. On Tuesday, a Justice Department attorney argued in court that the government should not have to provide detained children with soap, toothbrushes or beds.

    Important context as Pres Trump tours Arizona & boasts about building hundreds

    of miles of wall: Trump has added *3 miles* of new barrier

    where no barrier existed before he took office.

    It’s taken 3.5 years & about $15 billion to replace

    about 180 miles of outdated fencing.

    Mexico's situation on their south border is a **** show. Completely endorsed by the US long before Trump got here.

    There is no more vivid metaphor for the Trump presidency than the collapse of that idiotic wall.
