Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Monday described the child detention facilities housing immigrant youth as essentially summer camps.
As more illegal immigrants are rushing the border, more kids are being separated from their parents, Ingraham said. And temporarily housed at what are, essentially, summer camps.
Ingraham noted that The San Diego Union Tribune had compared the camps to boarding schools.
The paper wrote that many elements of one particular center seem like what one would expect from a boarding school.
An audio clip obtained by ProPublica on Monday reveals children sobbing for their parents, as one Border Patrol Agent jokes that they sound like an orchestra.

(25,253 posts)people we have in this country a old movie came to me. Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It kind of takes on two meanings: 1. the emotionless, heartless, non-empathetic result in people that went to sleep alongside one of those pods; and 2. just the title of this movie 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' reminds me of the Trumpsters and the Repugs that support Trump's Zero Tolerance policy.
