The Left's narrative of the day is that the USA is holding children at the border in deplorable conditions of filth, disease and hunger. There's a big article about this in the NY Times. The Sunday shows asked both President Trump and vice president Pence about it. Even Hillary Clinton is tweeting about it (and a Sunday morning tweet from Hillary is a big deal since she's usually hung over on Sundays.) The charges are also all over social media. The charges, of course, are timed to coincide with what was scheduled to be the start of the ICE move to deport people against whom orders of deportation had been issued by a court.
There's a big problem with this storyline, however. IT"S NOT TRUE.
There are no pictures of the supposed filth, hunger or disease. If conditions are like those mentioned in the NY Times, you can be sure someone would have smuggled out a picture or a reporter would have gotten in to take such a picture.
None of the Democrat presidential candidates or even current members of Congress have gone to the facilities where this supposed "horror" is taking place. If I were the campaign manager for Seth Moulton or Kirsten Gillibrand or some other non-entity running for president, I would send the candidate ASAP to the border facility to demand entry for an impromptu inspection. Imagine the publicity that Gillibrand could get by exposing the actual horrible conditions to the nation; except, of course, there isn't anything to expose.
None of this has been pointed out in the past. We have constant stories about "children in cages" in which the media shows pictures from the Obama years when kids were, indeed, put in cyclone fence enclosures that looked like cages. Nothing was said about rampant disease, filth and hunger, however. This is not the sort of story that could possibly be kept under wraps.
I hope that DHS or whoever is in charge of the facilities in question invites camera crews into the facilities to film the actual conditions. No doubt the Democrats will go to court to seek to enjoin such coverage on the grounds that it is an invasion of the privacy of the detainees or something like that.
These lies have to stop.
