TrumpCo. to build tent cities for kids separated from families

You mean Trump hasn't withdrawn from that yet?
I'm sure it's an terrible deal. Awful deal. Worst deal ever. I'm sure he could negotiate a better deal where we get to torture prisoners and house them at Trump-owned properties indefinitely.

Oh wait...
Detained kids could live in Trump hotel suite for less than tent city [The Silicon Post]
According to NBC News, it costs the Department of Health and Human Services an average of $775 per person per night to house detained children in the temporary shelters near the US border.

Business Insider found several suites available in the Trump Hotel range for less than that, including a junior suite in the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., offered at $757 before taxes for the night of June 23.

Let's pause for a moment here for the math.
2,300 children * $775/child/night = $1,741,100 per night

Joking aside, though, why should he honour anything like the Geneva Convention when he won't even honour his own Constitution? Is there a chapter in 'The Art of the Deal' entitled 'Deals are Made to be Broken'?
Ya know, it's the law. And we're supposed to be a country of laws.

A decade ago, we went through a situation where the Vice President and Defense Secretary decided that we should torture prisoners. Times were desperate- there had been a devastating terrorist attack and a war. Even though the torture decision was a questionable decision, there was still a process of legal review. There wasn't a Decree from the King saying that it was okay. There were lawyers who looked at the law and there were discussions with Congress.

What has happened here is that a few Trump Administration officials have been instructed by Trump to turn the screws on immigrants at the border, probably in response to stories on Fox News about "immigrant caravans". Someone had the genius idea of separating children from their parents. They probably thought that this would play great with "their base" in an election year.

No one went through the usual processes of, "Is this legal?", "Is it humane?", "Is there another option?", "How do we get those kids reunited with their parents?"


Instead we got this announcement delivered with a grin:

I've heard of kids as young as 3 or 4 having to appear in court....but how is this even possible?

At what point is a process so broken that it swallows the soul of a nation?
 
I want Trump to have to spend a few nights in one of these tents

Better yet let's deport illegal Melania, and her chain migration family, put Junior, the stupid one, Ivanka and anchor baby Barron in cages then send them off to undisclosed locations never to be recovered.
 
Anyone know how much all this has cost the American taxpayers? Could it all be just a cry from Trump to say, "Look how much money I'll save you if you just give me my fucking wall!!"

The Congress isn't asking because they don't want to know.

See post #101 for the estimated cost for bed and board for the children:
2,300 children * $775/child/night = $1,741,100 per night

Since the government can't give the courts an actual number and Azar has said it could be as high as 3,000 children...

I saw that, but I was wondering about all the other stuff as well: court costs, adult incarceration, transportation, deportation, food, etc. The grand total must be well on the way to being a billion or more.

Azar is another wonderful person. Under questioning, sorry I do not remember by whom, he stated that the whole crisis
would be over with with just a few key strokes on a computer. 2 extensions by a judge later, we know he is just another
lying member of the Trump administration. Does anyone in his administration ever tell the truth?

It's a good question but one that we won't get an answer to unless Ron Johnson (R-WI, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee) asks or until after November's election.

Even if the question is asked, the costs are spread across multiple agencies (DHS, HHS, DOJ) and a lot of the cost is money that is going to private companies- like the companies that operate the private prisons and childcare facilities.

During the lead up to the 2016 election, there was a discussion about the billions of dollars that it would take to round-up immigrants and deport them. Everyone said that it was too expensive and the US government would never do it. Well, guess what....
 
So here is an interesting twist, while trying to reunite all the 5 and under children with their families, the DOJ discovers one of the children may be an American Citizen taken over a year ago and they LOST the mother.

One child “cannot be reunified at this time because the parent’s location has been unknown for more than a year,” the filing said. “Defendants are unable to conclusively determine whether the parent is a class member, and records show the parent and child might be U.S. citizens.”

Border officials may have taken child of US citizen into custody
 
Even the possibility of it should ruffle some feathers.

When you add reports of Hispanic citizens being arrested, it starting to sound like Operation Wetback in the 50s all over again where along with the illegals rounded up, many US citizens were grabbed as well and dumped in deserts in Mexico with no food or water.
 
^ To use one of Trump's favourite phrases, this entire situation is a 'witch hunt'... a genuine witch hunt.
 
^ As usual, Trump doesn't have a fucking clue how to run a country. It didn't work when he stole from Peter to pay Paul when it came to his hotels and casinos, and it certainly doesn't work when stealing from one government department to pay for his fuck-ups.

I just hope the United States survives his first term.
