Arguments before the United States Court of Appeals are usually dry, esoteric, and nerdy. What would it take to make one go viral? This week, in a clip that launched a million angry Facebook posts, we found out. It took a lawyer for the United States telling a panel of incredulous Ninth Circuit judges that it is “safe and sanitary” to confine immigrant children in facilities without soap or toothbrushes and to make them sleep on concrete floors under bright lights.
This assertion generated widespread outrage. Sarah Fabian, the senior attorney in the Department of Justice’s Office of Immigration Litigation who uttered it, was instantly excoriated online. As fate would have it, the clip of her argument went viral at the same time as a new wave of reports of brutal and inhumaneconditions at immigrant confinement centers. It also immediately followed the raucous debate over Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez referring to the confinement centers as cσncєnтrαтισn cαмρs. The juxtaposition suggested, misleadingly, that the Trump administration was explicitly justifying the worst sorts of child mistreatment we were seeing on the news.

What is the morality of treating children this way? 

"What is the morality of treating children this way?"

Well, Poche, there is none. Their parents should be prosecuted for child endangerment and abuse for including them in the criminal act of crossing the border illegally and putting them in such a situation. If I were to take my child knowingly into a dangerous situation with a potentially harmful or even deadly consequence while committing any kind of law-breaking, you can bet they'd be 'piping me light' for a very long time.

People don't realize just how supremely dangerous crossing the US-Mexico border in caravans is. It has some of the most drug-infested, cartel-ridden violent parts of this entire damn hemisphere and people still want to bring their children through that. 

It's spitting in the face of the people who immigrated here legally and worked for decades to do so, like my own family. 

Ocasio-Cortez wouldn't know, as someone whose family is from a United States territory.
