  1. It takes a certain kind of evil to do this to a little child such as this one.
    Evil which even the Devil would shun away from…

    Congratulations, Trump.
    You just “outdid” the Devil.

    1. and you can bet that evil Steven Miller is behind the whole thing, he needs to be locked up for crimes against humanity. .

  2. the real criminal is the brutal maniac in the WH who loves to see defenseless and poor people suffer. a total brute. impeach NOW.

    1. you do realize this only serves as proof of the need to vet these people. mumps is rampant due to the immigrants being infected with the illness themselves. would you prefer american children being infected with mumps as well? you people never cease to show how ignorant you are

    2. @isa di…Over 95% of U.S. children are vaccinated against mumps, most within the first 3 years after birth. The reason these kids in detention are getting mumps to begin with is the deplorable conditions they are kept in. The close contact and lack of proper hygiene is a perfect way for mumps and other childhood diseases to incubate and spread. The mumps epidemic in these camps is happening because of Trump’s inhumane policies toward immigrants. It would be very easy to set up immunization schedules for these children…but Trump doesn’t even give them soap of toothbrushes.
      You’re the ignorant one. This entire border crisis was created by Trump. You’re also a no content bot.

  3. the family should not leave. force the government’s hand to carry out this brutal policy all in front of the cameras.

  4. current administration is a criminal organization that should be prosecuted by international human rights organizations

    1. Trump and McConnell are making laws everyday to eliminate all black and brown people from America by any means necessary. Including genocide.

    2. Lawrence Sullivan unfortunately we are the worlds human rights police, we are the corrupt human rights police now! I have never been ashamed of this country but I am now.

  5. Trump is pure evil and one day he will answer to God. I can’t believe these so called “christians” still support this anti Christ.

    1. Many of Trump supporters are hypocrites, not Christian. I am a real Christian and I am angry with my Christian church for being silent about Trump’s behavior.

  6. Caravans are invasion?! These people are about to walk thousands of miles to get here! So to all republican constituents I ask you are you are you going to walk thousands of miles to get anywhere? Not drive which I suspect is still a small minority of you, but walk! Let me ask y’all what conditions would it take for you to take your children and literally run knowing your journey is going to be thousands of miles long and did I mention you didn’t have time to grab your wallet? Cause most of them don’t have credit cards and extra money in there pockets

    1. Kayne, unfortunately, you are speaking to people devoid of any empathy. They are just as narcissistic as their glorious leader and couldn’t care less about anyone that is different than them.

    1. Bruce Young Possession is “the act or state of being dominated or possessed by an extra-ordinary influence, such as an impulsive attitude or idea; or extraneous personality or action. Demonic possession by evil spirits occurs mostly among non-Christians and fake Christians who are subject to the control by the kingdom of darkness. Miller

  7. Really Americans how much more of this are you going to allow? trump needs to go this corrupt destructive administration needs to be purged. In the words of Nike just do it!

  8. Trump caused needless drama and fed propaganda to people who believed he was like them and voted for him.

    Since he’s been in office he perpetuates division and racism. Caging people who have left their homes to run for their lives. People who believed the USA would help them. Instead, they are in despair.

    Now he’s throwing out seriously ill children.

    The American people seriously have to take measures to change all that he has done.

    God help you all.

  9. Prayers for Samuel this is ruthlessly inhumane. No child deserves this, curse this wicked administration.

  10. Trump is going to use this to double down on his “immigrants are an infestation” rhetoric. His cult won’t face the fact that the sickness could be prevented.

  11. Trump is also burning the Amazon forests to kick native people off of there land. Wondered who was behind this massive fire?? TRUMP!
