Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Monday described the child detention facilities housing immigrant youth as essentially summer camps.
Ingrahams comments come amid growing outcry over the Trump administrations policy to prosecute migrants crossing the border illegally, leading to thousands of children being separated from their parents and housed in what the government is calling "tent cities."
As more illegal immigrants are rushing the border, more kids are being separated from their parents, Ingraham said. And temporarily housed at what are, essentially, summer camps.

Ingraham noted that The San Diego Union Tribune had compared the camps to boarding schools.

(58,724 posts)Many elements of Casa San Diego, an El Cajon facility for unaccompanied children who arrived at the southern border, seem like what one would expect from a boarding school.
There are classrooms, a play area with soccer goals and a medical clinic with superheroes like Wonder Woman, Superman and the Hulk on the walls.
On closer inspection, details about the California-licensed child care facility run by Southwest Key Programs reflect the situation of the children it serves.

What about the 8 MONTH OLD BABY that's been seen?
What about THE 2 YEAR OLD GIRLS?
Think it's 'like SUMMER CAMP' to a friggin' 2 year old?
They don't even know what Summer Camp IS you vile, despicable, heartless, Satan-worshiping scumbag.

Summer camp is voluntary and at the end of camp you know where your parents are. Ingraham is a pig.

(50,601 posts)In the early 1990s, the Cumberland County (NC) Sheriff's Department was sued by a criminal they had to take down with pepper spray. His grounds were that pepper spray was toxic to humans. To prove otherwise, the sheriff issued a can of the spray they were using to one of his deputies and asked him to season the food he ate with it one weekend. The officer prepared several dishes with it and reported that it was delicious when he was put on the stand on Monday.

The food is probably the same shitty food but beyond that, absolutely no comparison. No way are these kids sitting around a camp fire roasting marshmallows for smores.

We used to wake up 1/2 hour BEFORE we went to bed, ate a lump of frozen cold poison for breakfast, worked 26 hours a day at mill, PAID the mill owner to LET US work there, and every night our dad would come home, murder us in cold blood, dance about on our graves, and shout 'Hallelujah!'
