AOC happy employees walking out of childrens beds being sold to the Border Patrol for the children. What? How does this help the kids?

Wayfair workers couldn’t stomach they were making beds to cage children.

They asked the company to stop. CEO said no.

Tomorrow, they‘re walking out.

This is what solidarity looks like – a reminder that everyday people have real power, as long as we’re brave enough to use it. https://t.co/667abeLDTG

Gov has ordered new beds from Wayfair for the illegal kids. But the workers are refusing to make the beds.

So they would rather the kids not have a bed? Or they just want their political pawns left on the floor, right?

    My bad..I thought I seen something about Putin in there. 

    President is following the laws. There were separations under Obama as well. It is Obama's cages.  
    Why is this hard to understand? Fund the border. Fix the laws...Congress must do it. The President's hands are tied by those laws. Do we house children with adults? Fund it, secure it and fix the laws. 

    Unless we just do not enforce the laws....just catch and release? Warren says get rid of the law altogether.

    " There were separations under Obama as well. It is Obama's cages."
    STOP THE BLAME GAME...
    Trump and Republicans had full control for the first two years he was in office. 
    Nothing was done.

    OBAMA IS NOT PRESIDENT, TRUMP IS.
    Kids are dying and being torutred under Trum's the 4th Reich .

    Guess what? I Do don't care if you  have to pay a tax on YOUR money, these kids (not adults...CHILDREN) need to be taken care of and it falls upon the American people do treat these children humanely when they cross our borders.

    You have a responsibility for children after they are born, too. Did you realize that???

    Congress has to find it.....that is the law. Congress has to fix the laws. That is the way it works. 
    Nothing to do with a taxes.

    Yes we should treat them as well as possible within the laws. 

    The President and Border Patrol have been screaming for funding to do that since Jan. But Pelsoi etc claimed it was not needed and cut funding for beds in the detention facilities. 

    Now again I am the one saying fund the border, fund the facilities.....last time I checked they we all ready born children.

    "Congress has to find it.....that is the law. Congress has to fix the laws. That is the way it works. Nothing to do with a taxes"

    Congress was held by republiklans when Obama was President. Why are you blaming Obama for that then, but saying Trump shouldn't shoulder the blame now?

    Trump can issue an executive order. God knows Hitler45 has issued enough of them.

    Accept the responsibility for your.."YOUR" elected officials abusing children.

    ONCE AGAIN:  Born Children have the same rights as the Unborn children 

    Treat these kids with respect. That means SOAP, TOOTHBRUSHES, MEDICAL ATTENTION, EDUCATION, CLOTHING, BEDS,  HOUSING, RESPECT
    In other words...treat them like people. Not pawns in republicans sick little game

    Congress was Republican under Obama???? Please, Obama had a both Houses of Congress complete with a filibuster proof Senate....they forced Obamacare without one vote from a Republican. 

    Treat these kids with respect. That means SOAP, TOOTHBRUSHES, MEDICAL ATTENTION, EDUCATION, CLOTHING, BEDS,  HOUSING, RESPECT------I agree tell the House to fund it all.  It is not the Rep using them as pawns.  The Rep and Border Patrol have been screaming for funds for nearly 3/4 of a year.

    THIS IS NOT TRUE.  STOP passing this lie on. There was NO separation of families during the Obama Adiminstration.  TRUMP MADE THIS LIE UP.  DO NOT SPREAD BASE LIES.  If they say it and it sounds bad for their enemy, it is probably not true.

    First rule of thumb.

    Separations under past administrations rare, systematic under Trump

    Generally, a child and an adult who arrive together at the border can be separated when border officials cannot establish the custodial relationship; when they believe the custodian may be a threat to the child; or when the custodian is being detained for prosecution.

    Immigration experts have told us that family separations were relatively rare under Obama and other past administrations. They did not happen at nearly the scale that they did under the Trump administration.

    PROTEST CAUSES MEDIA ATTENTION.

    EVEN SOMEONE AS BLIND AND DEAF TO TRUMP'S behavior is noticing. this PROTEST.

    THAT IS WHAT THIS IS.  A VISUAL PROTEST.  It is all they can do, short of leaving their lives and picking up a a gun and fighting it Trump-style.

    We are all going to PROTES the T in our own way.  It may look weird to you Republicans who have NO idea what to do about anything because you are too busy believing Trump's lies and garbage.

    In spite of the ABUNDANCE of EVIDENCE of the obvious.

    Nope...that is a Father who attempted to enter the country illegally with his wife and daughter and failed.  Very sad.

    But nothing to do with Trump.

    Scores of people are dying under the Trump Reich
    Trump is a murderer. 

    1 death is too many

    Heather Hyer was run over by a Trump supporter in Charlottesville and killed. Trump applauded her death.
