U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) attempted to enter the converted Walmart in Brownsville, TX to inspect the living conditions of immigrant children who had reportedly been separated from their parents and were rumored to be kept in cages and concrete floors of the converted Walmart. Merkley streamed live on social media his attempt to enter the facility but was denied entry by Homeland Security.
All the windows and doors to the facility—which is a shuttered Walmart—have been blacked out with window tinting. Merkley arrived and was immediately asked to leave by a female government worker.
One of the country’s most powerful lawmakers then demanded to speak with a supervisor. Instead of complying with his wishes in the name of transparency, the shadowy government workers called Brownsville police on the U.S. Senator. After 10 minutes of waiting and being confronted by local police, he was denied entry and forced to leave.
The detention facility is run by Southwest Key Programs, who promptly issued an apology to the Senator from Oregon on Wednesday for disallowing Merkley entry to its converted Walmart on Padre Island Highway in Brownsville.

Starting to look like it's no accident Trump is the president, doesn't it?
Someone has to fill those shadow government camps the people have warned about for years, and now we have the right government to finish the job. If this turns out true and the Senator really did see children inside, we're not far away from end game. Sickening if true.

OMG, 2008 was 10 years ago. I feel old since 2008 seemed to be only a couple of years ago

Of course it's no accident.
Trump worked very hard on his presidential campaign. Hard work pays off.
That's what you were implying, correct??

if people are too dumb to allow children being imprisoned, for any reason,
Is there proof to this claim as it applies to this topic?

So you can not answer my simple question? That is fine as I was one out of curiosity.
will you still think it's not ok,
Now how can we have an honest discussion when you ask hypothetical questions based and put words in my mouth?
None of this assumption would be OK to any decent person. I'm more concerned with the facts that the senator was acting on.
To his credit, he was denied entry with federal guards.

if people are too dumb to allow children being imprisoned, for any reason, it will be a thumbs up to go ahead with the rest of the plan.
