so that brownsville detention center was closing down for lack of business this time last year…then all of a sudden: back in business! https://t.co/lQa1Lw9wvV

there is for sure one thing that will come of any legislation in response to the “family separation crisis” or whatever you want to call it: MORE MONEY FOR FACILITIES. Was this whole week-long media blitz a campaign ad for pork? #TheContentIsTheCommercial

“As of mid-2018 [Southwest Key] houses 5,100 immigrant children & operates 26 imm youth facilities in TX, AZ, & CA….As of June 2018, it has received $310,824,288 in federal grants in fiscal year 2018 (which began on October 1, 2017).” $104k/yr per child https://t.co/KHQiBY3tue

The memo that started it all. The VERY 1st THING is constructing new facilities-only later mentions sending people home. Nowhere does it address refusing entry at the border. Why not? Turning people away is a deterrent & they can apply 4 asylum in Mexico. https://t.co/oyAlhZc7cB

I’m trying to dig into the three companies cited in this article as running facilities for migrant children and I keep hitting dead ends–I just want to know how many beds for kids there are & I can’t find it. This whole “disaster” smacks of psyop.https://t.co/XbB5lxbzgq

This is unbelievable! This ONE company—the one with the OPEN ROOF facility in Brownsville—has gotten $250MM/yr to house kids. If this were the only company & housed ALL the kids that would be over $20k/yr/kid but it it’s NOT the only one. And they call it a non-profit to boot?! pic.twitter.com/BeTn1hVuGO

$44,000 after tax dollars PER BED??? Who ya gotta bribe to get that deal??? pic.twitter.com/fpik3L1sRK

This is the FIRST thing I thought of when I heard they were detaining people rather than turning them away … I had no idea they had gotten way ahead of it… pic.twitter.com/eTxbFPQGGs

Let me get this straight: the face of the separation crisis was not actually separated? The put-upon mom has three other minor children back home & a husband with a good job who thinks it was irresponsible of her to do this? She didn’t even tell him? https://t.co/ToUgCIN2Ca

the number of kids separated at the border pales in comparison with the number of kids who are sent here alone–and it’s nothing new https://t.co/3woyN5AD82

uncontrollably sympathetic congresswoman Norma Torres cries on the job for border kids yet voted for the national defense authorization act not even a month ago – this does a lot more harm than separating kids from their parents for awhile… https://t.co/a1IKiPOzkS

I would not allow my teenage daughter to wear this jacket – I can’t help but think Melania was set-up…ever since they set her up and knocked her down with her speech at the RNC I’ve felt she has no latitude whatsoever https://t.co/wW6WvxgPz0

Family detention centers (yes they already exist!) are run by private prison companies—as corrupt an industry as I’ve ever seen or heard about—they bribe and lobby for any excuse to incarcerate people for their own profit https://t.co/IkJl1AgOHn

Never before has page after page of my feedly been dominated by a single issue like this. Beware the legislation that comes out of this baby! (Not to mention less than 1/2500th the no. of children are being separated than Madeleine Albright said it was worth killing in Iraq!) pic.twitter.com/eWkuSLeRQz

332,000 individuals applied for asylum in the US last year? Did they all actually show up at the border or is there some process that doesn’t involve us physically housing every single person who wants to give it a shot? #FoodForThought pic.twitter.com/shLpcYG1QK

I hereby propose an audit of all arms of government & state-sponsored activity in the United States to expose any contribution to “war, violence and persecution” in the world & put an end to it. That alone would likely solve the refugee crisis. pic.twitter.com/YRq5x1zSlM

Of course this is the way this was headed… I have a feeling the next step will be a massive budget allocation to build housing for them…this detaining rather than turning them away has been a scam from the get go pic.twitter.com/0wFKJf6f8n

I know Hippocrates is out of vogue but could we please try to “first do no harm?” Withdrawal from Syria would reunite many times more children w/ their parents than any policy we adopt for our southern border https://t.co/6A9lPrYTrx

Read one report that said c. 2,000 kids were actually separated from their parents in the immigration camps…how many kids in the US do you think have been unnecessarily & traumatically separated from their families by child services? Probably thousands in every US city…

Before we talk about a solution to the worldwide migrant problem, let’s talk about the causes…WHY are people leaving their homes & homelands in droves? Reading your tweets on the show Saturday….

the recent issue at the border was orchestrated. Essentially trying to force their way into asylum
— Mysterio (@WHEREDIDDEANGO) June 20, 2018
It was some activist group down south. I remember reports of them gathering people who likely wouldn’t have come on their own
— Mysterio (@WHEREDIDDEANGO) June 20, 2018
This is the group https://t.co/4sULHRKkRZ

Selective outrage at that. I don’t recall @maddow crying, @united, @FlyFrontier or @AmericanAir or genpop having an issue with prior to 2018. Why is that??
— Mysterio (@WHEREDIDDEANGO) June 20, 2018
https://t.co/kztolyudgZ As expected. No problem with the issue when it couldn’t be used as political football
— Mysterio (@WHEREDIDDEANGO) June 21, 2018
just like Laura Bush who conveniently had no issues when detention centers were being built in Texas while W was governor

One of the fastest ways to change a country. Change the inhabitants, which can change values and will also speed the demise of nation states

Definitely manufactured. Just like it is in Europe. Likely promises to the people about what would happen once they arrived. Doubt they were told about being detained
