Are the children at the border getting the best facilities, the best care possible? A few weeks ago, we heard of plans to move some to hotels, but we haven't heard if that has been implemented. It might be that with Texas not providing any Covid vaccines to them, it currently isn't possible.
It would seem we should want to give the children the best of care. Not so? Are some not wanting to see the children better cared for? The Biden administration has built temporary facilities, but they are crowded, the children often sleeping side-by-side on mats thrown out of the floor. KUSI News in San Diego reports that at one site in Texas the teenagers are "separated in groups by plastic partitions, essentially a 'cage.' "
What is the the image that comes to mind when told the children are in cages? One envisions each child in a metal cage, locked up like a prisoner, like an animal. Plastic partitions are hardly impenetrable. It appears the children could break through them, regardless how thick that plastic partitions are. Perhaps calling them cages is a little much. True?
Background the children, to assure some are not from the MS-13 or such. But once that is done, should we not want to treat them the best we can? Should we not endeavor to reunite them with their families in America or to be placed in good homes here?
