Border Patrol Turning Down Donations of Soap, Diapers, Toys

[EvilCat Breath]

The US Border Patrol is not an aid organization. There are numerous NGO's who are already supporting the invasion. If you wish to exacerbate it I am sure they would gladly take your cash.

. If you wish to exacerbate it I am sure they would gladly take your cash.

IMO, 10-25% of which MIGHT make to the illegal aliens being held.

IMO exactly 0% should make it to them. Incentivizing of any sort should be discouraged.

Turn it all over to the children of the American poor and homeless.

But let's put the government in charge of health care and "higher" education. They'll do a great job. Totally competent.

False equivalence! This administration is responsible for the care and feeding of these captive children. We know that this administration does not want Americans to have affordable health care. We know that this ,administration and its supporters disdain education (I love the poorly educated)

So expecting th benefits of health care and education cannot be trusted to this administration any more than humanitarianism is expected.

If you're not a white American citizen, don't expect anything but the back of the hand from this administration.

The border patrol's job is to protect our border, not to hand out goodies to invaders.

Donations would interrupt the torture aspect of detaining toddlers and pre-school kids.

Some Texans do have a heart, and do want to help--but the Border Patrol will not let them:

Border Patrol allegedly turning down donations of soap, diapers, toys at Texas facilities housing migrant children

"As reports circulate regarding living conditions in some migrant shelters along the U.S.-Mexico border, some Texans have stepped in to do what they can.
However, a report from the Texas Tribune indicates that officials from U.S. Customs and Border Patrol will not accept donations from citizens who want to provide for hundreds of children waiting in shelters across the state.
According to the Tribune, Austin Savage and five of his friends purchased $340 of soap, diapers, wipes and toys and drove to the Border Patrol station in Clint, Texas to deliver the items.
Savage said a friend, who is an immigration lawyer, had warned him that CBP likely wouldn't take the donations before they headed to the facility.
"We were aware of that, but it's just the idea of doing something as opposed to passively allowing this to occur,' he told the Tribune.
Savage said when they arrived, they found out that the station lobby was closed, and attempts to talk to the border patrol agents in a nearby parking area went unanswered. However, Savage said someone else had left supplies in a plastic bag left near the lobby door.
The bag had a note attached which read, "I heard y'all need soap + toothpaste for kids.""


"We received reports from children of a lice outbreak in one of the cells where there were about twenty-five children, and what they told us is that six of the children were found to have lice. And so they were given a lice shampoo, and the other children were given two combs and told to share those two combs, two lice combs, and brush their hair with the same combs, which is something you never do with a lice outbreak. And then what happened was one of the combs was lost, and Border Patrol agents got so mad that they took away the children's blankets and mats.

Government agencies typically turn down such donations because they don't have the man-power or resources to sort through those donations and put them to use.

• Cbp and the people in charge of healthcare are two completely different animals. Actually only the CBP folks are animals.

Keep talking, Democrat.

Really? Please be more specific. What has the administration of President Donald Trump done which you refer to as the "back of the hand"?

One 18 month old stat does not a trend make. Nor am I convinced that employment is really controlled by Trump, or any President. A better means of measurement might be asking non-whites about their quality of life and level of satisfaction.

Quite frankly, I don't look at this in racial terms---Trump is for the rich..and does not care about the poor. That he has convinced a segment of the American working poor that he is their friend..is nothing short of masterful.

if you get six (or more) of those 'funny' things from the same member within 24 hours you should PM the mod staff & ask them.

If I was a Muslim or disabled or lost a family member in combat or a woman, it's fair to say Trump is indifferent to me at least, openly hostile at worst. Leadership? Not bloody likely!

If you receive 6, or more within 24 hours, from the same member, USMB considers that 'stalking'

You should report excess 'funny' use to the FBI

Nah...why bother? Talk about thin skinned! I would favor implementing the STFU button throughout the site.

It's at least honest...

Health insurance is not healthcare.

Public education is one of the pillars of the mpdern world, is one of the greatest accomplishments of the human species, and is the reason there are so many literate people that can visit and read this message board.

Tell that to the thousands of them walkinh around concentration camps, handing out prison meals.
