Oh, please, as I posted to candycorn earlier in the thread-
What cruelty? Are you that blinded by your partisan hate?
First, under Obama’s administration-
Obama official cites 'funding challenges' to house minors crossing Mexico border
The administration is hoping to avoid a repeat of the crisis it saw in the summer of 2014, when tens of thousands of children and families poured over the south-west border. Border Patrol holding areas became overcrowded, with children sleeping on concrete floors covered by aluminum foil-like blankets. The surge in children arriving without parents overwhelmed the US government and the White House labelled it “a humanitarian crisis”.
A total of 10,588 unaccompanied children crossed the US-Mexico border in October and November, compared with 5,129 who crossed during the same two months last year, according to US Border Patrol. The uptick has already prompted the agency to open two shelters in Texas and one in California.
Burwell says in her letter that “it’s impossible to know whether these trends will continue”.
Border crossings have not reached the levels of summer last year, when more than 10,000 children arrived in the United States that June alone.

Now, they have kids housed in 100 different shelters in 14 different states, so you are wrong. Statement back in May-
- HHS/ORR is responsible and required to care for minors who are in the country illegally without an available parent or guardian. Operating this program requires routinely evaluating the needs and capacity of an existing network of approximately 100 shelters in 14 states.
- Additional properties identified by federal agencies are being evaluated by ORR as potential locations for temporary sheltering as a routine part of its management of UAC shelter capacity.
- Community representatives will be notified in advance if HHS is seriously considering a local site for potentially housing UAC, as part of responsible contingency planning.
- Additional temporary housing is only sought as a last resort when current locations are reaching capacity.
- The sole workable solution to this problem is to change federal law so that illegal immigrants can be returned after they are apprehended.

So, maybe research before you make such statements.
Funny. I just heard the exact same words come out of a democrat's mouth this morning on TV! It's almost like the DNC is plugged right into the back of Joe's head! Hey Joe, check for a USB cord back there. ITMT, too stupid or dishonest to admit that these are not "Trump's" inhuman policies and bad management, they are the same ones used and in place all during OBAMA --- which you were fine with.
Don't recall Obama separting kids from their parents and throwing them into concentration camps...
But, um, yeah, any decent human being would call Trump's policies "Inhumane" . I know that excludes the MAGA crowd
Separating kids and putting them into staged areas is THE BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED to them since they left home! At least now they have a clean, safe place to sleep, bedding, food, water and healthcare, while their adults are run through the criminal and court system where no kids belong.
Well, except the two who've died... it kind of sucked for them.
