Today you learned not to cry about conditions in a detention center and then refuse to vote on legislation that would potentially improve the situation.
It's obvious that democrats have no real desire for the situation to actually be improved on the border. They wanna use it as a political tool for the election in 2020.

Most of these migrants were seeking asylum, which is technically legal.It being used as a "deterrent" doesn't make the situation any less inexcusable.

Well, they're obviously "enduring these conditions", since none of them left the center. But this is all just dancing around the major topic: which is that these are inhumane conditions and people have every right to complain about them.
Point taken.
They should go back to their homes, then, right?

It's insanity. Just deport them. They come here sick and dying, we aren't prepared, they die, people blame us. So then we take in even more people and it never stops.

But, oh no, that's "mean" & "racist." If you want to force people to wait in line and be forced to come here legally like real, actual immigrants do then you're obviously just a "Nazi." 🙄
Many also bring diseases with them as well but naive fragile little snowflakes like ML don't care about the dangers to actual Americans (especially since he/she doesn't live here) as long as it helps democrats beat the big bad orange meanie in the White House in 2020.
...it's because they don't want to actually improve conditions nor do they genuinely care about the welfare of those people. They want nothing less than for them all to be unconditionally released into the United States and just be immediately given full citizenship status (so they can legally vote democrat instead of being forced to do it illegally).
They're just too damn cowardly to come out and admit that's what they really want.
Hilarious that so many are trying to view it. Different link.

Yeah, that's the same point I made about this topic.
We have 2 choices and they are mutually exclusive:
1. The detention centers are better than where they came from.
2. Their homes are better than where they came from.
Democrats are b*tching about the first one. So if that's the case, then send them back home to wander through the wilderness to die on the way back home. Or...the super shitty services we can offer is much better than their home and this complaining is silly.
Regardless, politicians have a responsibility to their constituents, not foreign nationals. They are elected to represent me, not a foreigner. My tax dollars need to go to the 1 out of 5 starving American children or the 1 out of 20 homeless veterans, not foreigners.
Why can't private companies use them for slave labor but they are required to provide them with decent living conditions (housing, food, electricity, internet)? Basically, free room and board but they work for free. They do their time, they can get paid for it. Then they pay taxes on it. Then they get a path to citizenship. Bring back slavery. lol
If you don't want people going to the US from impoverished South American countries it probably was a bad idea to spend decades helping to make them impoverished countries.

1. Wikipedia is a laughable source, jaden.
2. Oh please, the United States didn't make countries like Venezuela poor. F***in' socialist policies did that. It's pathetic, but not really surprising, for you leftists to deflect away from the problems y'alls precious socialism causes. Too stubborn to admit that socialism sucks ass and that capitalism is far superior.
3. Even if what you were claiming were true, the American people are not responsible for what our government does and so should not be puinished for its actions. The law is the law and as a sovereign nation the US has every right to decide who does and who doesn't get to come into our country. Period.
