The young woman who took this picture is up here from down on the Texas/Mexico border where she is a science teacher, finishing up her PhD in Education.

She was asking me stuff about the ‘for profit holding pen for little brown chlldren’. Children made essentially, into prisoners for the ‘crime’ of having fled their country…..countries which by the way our government made into the hell holes these children and their parents are fleeing by overthrowing or supporting the overthrow, of democratically elected governments [the latest such attempt being in 2009 during the Obama administration where Hillary and Barack and Joe Biden supported the military coup in Honduras].

I mentioned the Flores Act, which states that children are not allowed to be forcibly separated from their caregivers for more than twenty days, that number having been arrived at by researchers in the field of child development who said that after twenty days the risk of permanent psychological damage is far too likely.

I pointed out that Trump and his money making minions who own and run this for profit venture [what a way to make a living, ey?] have simply refused to abide by the law, contending that since this ‘facility’ is on federal property the Flores Act does not apply.

This young woman then says to me, “so did the researchers who determined that twenty days is the limit, did they say that if it’s federal land the children won’t be harmed?”
