Say goodbye to the american soy industry

yeah, putting kids in cages usually helps that as well.

it was all such a dumb controversy
We've always had good facilities for taking care of child aliens. But we didn't have enough during the surge under Obama, so they wound up backlogged stuck at processing centers, which made for those pictures. We made temporary shelters there for them since all the orphanages, youth centers and foster parents qualified to handle them were booked. And that surge under Obama happened largely because of the word getting out that thanks to Obama policies and liberal court decisions, having a child was effectively a free pass into America. Creating a perverse incentive to put children at risk when you cross illegally. And furthermore, the facilities that were open, were very expensive and high quality boarding schools that were drastic improvements on the quality of life for your typical guatemalan child, so it was actually in the childs interest for the parents to dump them at facilities that cost more per child per 40 day stay than the average US minimum wage worker earns in an entire year.
Then when trump issued his order on zero tolerance for migrant families, it tried to push back against the court decisions and previous policies that allowed a free pass if you brought a child. A decision doomed in the courts and eventually given up due to the bad PR. But what made it so preposterous is that besides the use of pictures of Obamacages to smear Trump, they took pictures of the processing centers and pretended they were youth detention facilities. They ran that narrative about chain link fences and mattresses while intentionally misrepresenting how our detention facilities work. Every illegal alien goes to a processing center to figure out their status and fill papers, and might spend 1-2 days there before going to a more permanent facility to house them. That was the same under Obama. You can't just take children directly from the border to a youth center without knowing who the hell they are, their age, whether they have any family in the country, etc. So they go to processing centers, where children and families are isolated from the more dangerous lone adult male detainees. Hence the need for fences.
