It was set up under Obama and the Democrats in Congress thought it was fine and apparently still do because they refuse to provide any funds to build buildings and have specifically limited the number of beds.

Big deal. Do they really have to be shamed into doing their job? They should have done more months ago when they were claiming this problem at the border was all just manufactured by President Trump. But even if this bill passes, it still is not enough, because they should have given him money to build the wall so other children will never be in such conditions.

No money has been provided for proper medical care and medicine or to train Border Patrol Agents to double as Day Care Providers. Another fault of the Democrats, on purpose , I might add.

The Democrats still use that excuse to harass the President, instead of passing meaningful legislation. Jon Stewart just recently had to shame Congress to do their job.
Jon Stewart Shames Congress Over 9/11 Victims FundJun 12, 2019
Comedian Jon Stewart scolded Congress Tuesday for failing to ensure that a victims’ compensation fund set up after the 9/11 attacks never runs out of money. Stewart, a longtime advocate for 9/11 responders, angrily called out lawmakers for failing to attend a hearing on a bill to ensure the fund can pay benefits for the next 70 years. The sparse attendance by lawmakers was “an embarrassment to the country and a stain on this institution,” Stewart said, adding that the “disrespect” shown to first responders now suffering from respiratory ailments and other illnesses “is utterly unacceptable.” First and foremost, Stewart said, families want to know, “Why this is so damn hard and takes so damn long?”
Firefighters, police and other first responders “did their jobs with courage, grace, tenacity and humility,” Stewart added. “Eighteen years later, do yours.” https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/jon-ste ... -1.7361715SpecialOlympian wrote:Guess I should have voted for the guy with senile dementia who ran on the "I will kill Mexicans" platform. At least he kept his promises.
You should have voted for men and women for congress that will do their job, instead of just obstructing and voting themselves pay raises for it.
