Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» MYLAR(sp?) BLANKETS? What are they and do they keep you warm or just look niftily SHINY? Ever sleep with one on you? What's it like?
Mylar blankets take up little space, are lightweight, relatively inexpensive and retain about 90% of your body heat. They are generally used in emergencies such as floods, hurricanes, etc. where a lot of people need to be placed in safe quarters. The bags are mildew resistant and do not crack or shrink over time when stored in a bug-out bag, INCH bag, get-home bag, or even in a vehicle glove compartment. If I'm not mistaken, NASA uses them on space flights. I have never used one.
Thanks so much for the info L. I have not heard of them before. It just seems so artificial and superficial. Nothing like a warm cozy blanky to keep you warm and cozy. I mean they look like tin foil. But it's better than nothing I guess.
You're welcome. Clearly, they aren't ideal, but they serve the purpose. The real issue is that these kids shouldn't have been there in the first place.
Rosie asked what a mylar blanket was and I told her. I didn't specify whether those blankets were used in the photo you provided or whether Obama used them or Trump used them or anyone else used them.
If persons are found to have criminal records or belong to gangs, they should be immediately deported. If these are asylum seekers, I am fine with the families remaining together, with court dates set for their appearance, for them wearing ankle bracelets to make sure they appear in court. Where they stay is up to them so long as they return for court appearances. If they are not seeking asylum, they should not be permitted to remain here unless and until they file a legal application for entry here.

I know you did not specify with administration the pictures are from that is why I asked if you knew? I have come across a few who did not and would not believe the picts were from 2014.
Glad to here you and I are in agreement about deporting criminals and detaining the families together until the court date. We do disagree on where they should be allowed to stay as it has been shown they do not show up for their court dates.
But we have some agreement.
