        I'll be charitable and assume people aren't being knee jerk, just saying "well, if these camps exist, it's better for..." - Reagen Jun 25, 12:56

        Catch and release should have never ended. Under Obama or Trump. -- nm - Qale Jun 25, 12:18
      - Right. I mean, I guess if they really cared about the kids at all, they could donate the beds instead of profiting off them. nm - Cedric Diggory Jun 25, 12:15 1
        
        "Man, thanks for making it cheaper for us to build these concentration camps!" -- nm - Reagen Jun 25, 12:17
