The Government, illegal immigrants and Family Values

What are we to do with families trying to make their way across the borders until our government can make a ruling on their status and decide what to do with them? We used to take the children away and house them in federal facilities while their folks were locked up.

Now we have a better way: Camp Hutto.

Granted political asylum and now living temporarily in a home for immigrant women and children in Austin, Hosen said that she and other parents in Hutto were threatened regularly with separation from their children for minor infractions such as youngsters running inside the prison. She lost 30 pounds while detained, and her son lost weight and suffered from diarrhea. Concerned about her son's health, Hosen asked for a multivitamin for him but was denied the request, she said.
