According to a Monday “CBS This Morning” report, border patrol spokespeople told the show that they are “very uncomfortable” with their reporters’ use of the term “cages” to describe where migrant children separated from their parents are kept, though they admit that it’s not inaccurate.
They reportedly added that though there “may be” cages, the people inside them are not treated like animals.

How quaint. NICE snowflakes.
Sure is not like they are gaasing them or anything.
Border patrol went on to further clarify: “OK, maybe we are treating them like animals, but not the kind you eat or see at the zoo. More like the raccoons you might trap on your property. And who worries about maybe trapping a young raccoon separately from a parent raccoon?”
Gee, the nice lady from the Border Patrol doesn’t like an accurate characterization of where they are keeping thousands of innocent children. Too damn bad.
This was started by Trump and Sessons. They can end it today. Talk to them about cages.
If it makes you cringe to hear what you’re doing accurately described then MAYBE YOU SHOULDN’T FUCKING DO IT. #Nuremberg
