Government Moves 100s of Migrant Children to Tent Camps in the Middle of the Night

[Newenglanddeac]

Hundreds migrant children are being moved in the middle of the night from shelters across the country to tent camps in Tornillo, Texas, according to a report from the New York Times. The move was made as a way to create more space for the increasing number of children being detained by the government.

Earlier this month it was reported that 12,400 migrant children were being detained by the United States, many of them coming into the country unaccompanied by adults. That number is five times what it was in May 2017.

Shelter workers anonymously told the Times that moves are done in the middle of the night to limit the likelihood of children attempting to escape once they find out they are being moved.

Is this how we make America great again?

What’s the justification for all this? We don’t want undocumented immigrants on the government dole so we have to keep undocumented immigrants on the government dole?

But we're punishing them for their illegal activity, so it's all good. Law and order and such.

Sounds like the NYT is all over this one, guys.

Chalk up another one for the newspaper of record.

Yep, stealing kids from their parents is a cornerstone of the values of America.

Chalk up another one for Republican family values.

Might want to read up on developmental psychology. 12,400 children being permanently damaged.

Until now, most undocumented children being held by federal immigration authorities had been housed in private foster homes or shelters, sleeping two or three to a room. They received formal schooling and regular visits with legal representatives assigned to their immigration cases.

But in the rows of sand-colored tents in Tornillo, Tex., children in groups of 20, separated by gender, sleep lined up in bunks. There is no school: The children are given workbooks that they have no obligation to complete. Access to legal services is limited.

So they were moved from foster families and shelters into a tent prison?

Last week, Matthew Albence, a senior official with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, testified before Congress that the agency had arrested dozens of people who applied to sponsor unaccompanied minors. The agency later confirmed that 70 percent of those arrested did not have prior criminal records.

And they are using the kids to catch other people.
