PS: these photos date to Obama administration. Big difference today:

They were dealing then with unaccompanied kids.. The attorney general wasn’t ordering family separation as deterrent to asylum seekers.

The open line.

PS: Check this Twitter photo of what appears to be a prison bus for babies. Kind of makes you want to stand and salute the flag, doesn’t it?
