More like a wr on non-white peopole.

I heard a former government official on a public radio show... last month, I guess, who said the Army has a contingency plan for this type of thing that would deploy a huge tent city. This is just what I thought when all this started, because surely the Army has plans for all kinds of stuff like this, natural disasters or whatever. And they know how to get it done.

Just like the mess in Puerto Rico. If the Army had been given complete control of the situation on the ground instead of taking orders from FEMA bureaucrats, things would have turned out far better.

It's actually to some degree about money. Not that there is not enough money, but the contrators housing them get paid by the head, so they don't bother tryign to find fanily members livign in the U.S., because that would lower the head count they get paid for. Soem reporters went in and foudn a kid who had a bracelet that read "U.S. Parents" with a phone number. The reporters called the phone number, and it was the first the parents herd of where their kids were.

It isn't aobut nto enough money or room, it is about not mobing peopel through the system in order to up the head counts and the money earned by contractors housing them.

@snytiger6 And this is what happens when profits are injected into vital services. One also has to consider that these contractors can increase their profit margin by not providing basic care needs.

@bingst Money is the most important thing to people who have this mindset...it is trickled down, the mindset...

I would imagine this is especially painful for George Takei.

@bingst Yes, since he was in an internment camp as a child during WWII, George Takei has first hand knowledge of what they are going through.

I really hope he beats Mitch McConnell in the Kentucky Senate race! I dotn' have much money, but I plan to send a check to his campaign.

I think people need to be confronted and asked, "how far down the road of Nazism and Fascism will you let rump take you before you say, 'This is wrong'"? I mean, couldnt' they have known Trump was bad when he described neo-Nazis as "good people"?

@snytiger6 I actually had a Physician back in the 80s who spent his childhood in one. He wasn't terribly bitter about those camps. In fact he said "He got a good education". He did become incredibly compassionate. I don't think the conditions were anything like what we're seeing right now.

@snytiger6 George Takei is going to run against Mitch McConnell? lol

@RavenCT The conditiosn are similar in that food is poor, there is a lakc of runnign water, toilet and bathign facilities. In one sense they are worse as those bign held never get out of the overcrowded rooms they are held in to go outside.

@RavenCT, @bingst Yes, George Takei moved to kentucky to run against Mitch McConnel for his U.S. Senate seat.
