T. Don Hutto: Internment Camp for Refugee Children

[sondraavellino]

RIGHT, THEY WILL SHUT IT DOWN....JUST LIKE THEY DID TO THEIR OWN COUNTRY!!!!! LOCUSTS!!!

[joeyjupiter77]

stay in mexico.problem solved

[mellymoke]

Every thing our countrys forefathers to establis the USA was "ILLEGAL".

Shame on the US for imprisoning children.

[b0219u]

This is how you handle the situation right here, maybe people will think twice about coming here illegally knowing that they can and will be deported.

[sfordgg]

AMERICA MAKES ME SICK

[TexasRaised74]

i think they its wrong for coming to america without papers but at the same time why do u have to lock the kids up...thats kinda fucked up...and on top of that making money off these people...and its not just mexicans....its all other races also you dumb fucks...

[Thunderchips12]

I do think that immagrants should stop coming here, it's kinda pissing me off..What I don't get is why we can't technically do sh*t about it, or why we can't do something to help them so they don't cross over our border anymore. Obviously they won't find a better life, it seems they had just assumed it would be better because of the financial oppritunities, but if they did something so they would be a legal citizen, then maybe things might be diffirent.

[skinnychef]

hi thuinderchips-- the fact is that all of the people housed in T Don Hutto are in the legal process of becoming a citizen. they are usually rounded up at their homes where they told the US government they would be while they await their amnesty hearings.

This is purely a money making scam for the private corporations that run the prisons.

[boothill4414]

Come to the United States legally and you won't have this problem.

[danielsaputo]

Viva Chavez! Puto!

[boothill4414]

Ah yes, I'm a puto for stating that normal people wouldn't have this problem if you come to the US legally. Screw you for coming here illegally and living off of my tax dollars, not learning English, and expecting everyone here to support you. Go back to your 3rd world country, puto.

[danielsaputo]

Puto arrodillado! Hacete cojer a máquina!

[boothill4414]

Hugo Chavez is calling your name. Go away.

[danielsaputo]

Puto arrodillado.

[edith1116]

you ass hoe what if you where an imigrent they are not criminals there people liking for a better life

[kdfeo]

I am sure you're a Native American?? what tribe do you belong to??

[boothill4414]

Yes I am, in fact. Iroqouis.

[edith1116]

shut up

[aznman2000]

this isnt cruel at all.

[DadsBlueAngel]

in comparison to what. Do worse abuses justify this.

[StupidWhiteBoys]

I just quit working at this here. It isn't what these protest videos try to show. The people in this facility are getting better care than they were before. There are tons of people who move to the US legally. The only people being done wrong there are the workers. They should teach the immigrants how to move to this country legally.

[jimj122680]

Liberals who support illegal immigrants are actually (unknowingly) siding with greedy U.S. corporations. Why? Because they (ie. liberals) are protecting corporate America's cheap labor workers.

WHO WINS? Greedy companies AND illegal workers (earning FAR more than in Mexico).

WHO LOSES? The U.S. labor class (U.S. proletariat) via job losses to illegal workers & depressed wages.

Thus 122 years of U.S. labor struggle (carried out since the Haymarket Rebellion of 1886) is being undermined.

[skinnychef]

liberal???! hahaha!

i support the constitution which allows for people from other nations to immigrate legally. these people are generally in the process of seeking asylum. one of the primary planks of our constitution and american heritage is to open arms to those who are persecuted in their countries for political, religious, or social reasons.

i agree to a great extent with your position on illegal immigration. but in the context of this situation it does not apply.

[nonew101]

i was here like six months! =[

me my mom,my sister!

we are going to new york to my dad!

in there just have one window , and

we kids just play ps2 and sleep,eat,nd play outside ohhh my GOD

my mom is very sad she crying every single day!

[68stanggtcoupe]

I hope that the people inside hutto heard your protest that day. It probally gave the people inside hope to hear the people protesting on thier behalf. Also some of the comments on this video make me sad mad and happy to be a canadian. American pride is soo outrageous sometimes it makes me sick. I can't understand how white america thinks it is their country and even those who come to the country legally are horrible scum... O canada my home on native land... it's the same situation...

[PatriotSue]

Hey 68stanggtcoupe: We will gladly send all 20,000,000 illegals, here, to your country. These detainees, are not legal. The bleeding heart liberal, who made this video, is fueling her Anti-American hatred. We have 300,000,000 American U.S. citizens who need their tax dollars to be going for us and our children. You want to take care of these illegals, have at it.

[PatriotSue]

68stanggtcoupe: Are you one of these Anti-American haters? Are you one of these ignorant foreigners, who think, that all 300,000,000 U.S. citizens are rolling in wealth? The vast majority of U.S. citizens, are busting their asses, just to get by. This traitor bitch, could care less about our U.S. children struggling in poverty. Our schools, hospitals and our social infrastructure, is failing. The U.S. ship is sinking. We cannot afford to take on anymore passengers, especially illegal foreigners.

[68stanggtcoupe]

You are right... Your country sucks... you said it not me....

As for me I am not ignorant. I know the situation. It's too bad that immigrant americans have to work 5 jobs to pay for the war in Iraq.

It's too bad you can't keep your noses out of other countries business.... that is the reason why your country is falling apart. a shit government. have they found the weapons of mass distruction? NO and they won't because they're are none. plain and simple

[PatriotSue]

Yep, you are another ignorant foreigner, who hates America. Enough said.

[Hottidownunda1]

i come from america and lucky for me i dont live there anymore..just look at what OUR contry has done to people and the world. AMERICA is so concerned about making a dollar they dont care what they do to the environment or who's lives they take away. There should be no price put on life. Never mind that mexicans are not illegals they come from the same contry AMERICA.

[KARStarla]

Where do you live? Is there anywhere to actually go?

[KARStarla]

Watch Nafta on cspan where senator shows how the mexican people were driven out of their land by nafta tha our own government supports, its not the peoples fault.

Why dont we gripe when Bayer sends contaminated HIV/AIDS in their vaccines (knowingly) to other countries yet requests 50 billion for aids studies, its this damn war thats financially killing us as its physically killing innocent people. They have all the money to go into an unjust war to kill and bankrupt folks, protest that

[daphnelovesu]

first of all you got a couple of things wrong. secondly, they have updated the faciltiy sice u posted this. i understand ur concerns, but things are more comfortable now. you were wrong when u said the children get barely any light. there are playgrouns and even go on field trips to places! please message me for updates. i dont want u to be misinformed my father works inside the place

[skinnychef]

these people are in the application process to become citizens. they have told ICE where they would be while awaiting their hearing, and are being picked up at those homes. they are in no way trying to abscond from the law. they have applied for asylum and are waiting for their hearing.

if you don't feel for children who are imprisoned because their parents are going through the legal process of becoming legal citizens, you might want to check your moral compass.

[gregtl1967]

I am very dissapointed that all people sneaking across the US border illegally are not shot on site.

[Atrain757]

Whoa, let us not lose our humanity!!! I say lock them up and drive them back across the border but dont shoot them.

[Humanleague002]

This is tragic, I am sickened and we must stop this.

Thank you for posting this video and helping spread the truth.

What have we become as a Nation?

[BaykanOnTube]

No matter what you say, with or without papers law or no law this is wrong!! So what if they don't pay tax? Do you even know where your income taxes go? It goes to pay an endless stream of debt that the government owes which has no purpose or benefit to the people. Educate yourself don't be so shut off from the rest of the world.

[BaykanOnTube]

Although I have a problem calling anyone without compassion towards children or their fellow man human. They have a right to happiness and to live without fear. This world belongs to all of nature's creatures no one had a right to keep people locked up this way for no crime. These are scare tactics clever games being played to eventually take all your liberties away.

[BaykanOnTube]

Most don't have a choice its stay and die or leave and live. They don't get a chance to fill out papers and sit around waiting for an answer. It is a disgusting notion to suggest that families should be locked up just because they were seeking a better life in your country than the one they found in their own. Do you even have any idea what or whom these people where fleeing from? They are not aliens they are humans. Just like you and I.

[BaykanOnTube]

After all the pain and suffering the U.S.A has caused all over the world throughout history (don't say they haven't, if you know your history and facts you will know it's true.) don't be surprised if you find yourself under attack from those very countries and seeking asylum just like these innocent people. Put yourself in their shoes, poverty, dodging bombs, bullets etc it is a big deal to leave your home and your life behind, to up and leave to another country.

[kevinthant]

Many people here are alleging asylum seekers detained in the detention center as ILLEGAL for coming into US without visa.

You have to know that these asylum seekers fled their countries in the face of persecution. Then, how can they apply for VISA to enter to the US officialy.

You need to try to understand the context in how they asylum seekers arrive to US without proper documents such as visa.

[cutiepie1616523]

what Is your

Problem? theirr seeking

help and all u can say

is ohh is cuz of the mistakes

of the mom.. what the fuck?

what theirr Doing is wrong/

don't fucking defend em cuz u wouldnt

wanna be treated how their treated you

bitch.

[HEYBUDD]

"Mom...Why can't I get out of here". I hope she told her children about how she is a criminal and when you break laws you might get caught and there will be a price to pay.

I hope she told her children of how they are suffering because of her sins and crimes against America. What a piece of trash.

[skinnychef]

you ar e ignorant. these are people seeking asylum from the persecution they face in their country of origin. these are people who are waiting for asylum hearings, in the homes they tell ICE they will be at.

asylum is not the same as illegal immigration. it is the BASIS of our country and constitution.

[HEYBUDD]

Sorry but YOU are the ignorant one here. Asylum is not "applyed" for AFTER a person has illegaly entered the country and set up a home. These FELONS are guilty of illegal immigration. No matter how you try to spin it.

[HEYBUDD]

There exsist two ways to obtain asylum in the U.S.. All of these people detained in this, or any other holding unit have CHOSEN the "Defensive" option. The only way to avoid being held while a determination is made is to choose the "Affermitive" method.

We made their beds, and they have choosen to sleep in them....and complain.

[hookem76578]

Budd, I am all for this system, and I still find you to be a moron.  They are not felons to start. Calling people trash doesn't make you any better.

[HEYBUDD]

I agree. I am not better than them because I CALL them trash.

Do a little research. There is 2 pathways to gain asylum in the U.S.. All of these people that are "detained", have chosen the "defensive" method. That means that they are allredy in the U.S. ILLEGALLY, been discovered, and use the asylum defense for their CRIME. The other method is called "affermitive" and is used by people that respect the law and need no defense for a criminal act. Felons better than law abiding citizens? No way.

[SAOTOME666]

@HEYBUDD  the only piece of trash is you

[HEYBUDD]

@SAOTOME666 I am a piece of trash because of my respect for the law? or because of your disrespect of the law?

[HEYBUDD]

This facility is 5 star diggs compaired to what they would get in their own country. Damn ungreatfull felons. NOT ONE of our other felons are allowed to keep their innocent children with them while they are locked up. It is not against the law to run away from any situation but it IS against the law to enter this country ilegally. Why are we spending money housing them? We should just deport them instantly. They are not entitled to the benifit of our court system. What a bunch of cry babies.

[hookem76578]

Then should we sent the parents to jail and the kids to foster homes? At least this facility keeps families together.

[skinnychef]

you obviously did not watch or listen to the story....

[hookem76578]

The first lady is ignorant. They build the facilities out in the middle of nowhere because it is cheap. Illegal entry IS a crime. If drug dealers claim to be "just trying to feed their children," do we let them go. The law is the law. I have a family member and many friends who work there. The children are treated better by the staff than the parents are.

[skinnychef]

haha! thanks for the vote of confidence.

[pahdonky]

its nice how the trains run so close by...

[Shyanna25]

They have TODDLERS in PRISON...If you are not OUTRAGED then you are not paying attention!

NORTH AMERICAN UNION.....Look it up!

[skinnychef]

no doubt! it is always shocking to me when people condone this!

North American Union- Trans Texas Corridor- FEMA "camps"!!! our rights are going bye-bye!

[jedizaid]

I feel such shame for humankind when someone cannot feel compassion for innocent children who did nothing wrong and are being treated like criminals. Anchor babies? That is such a disgusting term. No wonder the rest of the world has such a problem with America.

[henrihead]

Yeah, this needs to stop. We don't need illegal aliens here - PERIOD.

No matter where these criminals are stockpiled, living off our tax dollars, we need to rid our country of them once and for all time. These are people whose first act was to commit a crime by coming here illegally.

We owe them nothing. They owe us for the expense of their up keep while here illegally.

[skinnychef]

you, like many people apparently, do not understand that seeking asylum IS the legal road to citizenship. these people ARE in the process of becoming legal citizens. they are seeking asylum because of persecution in their own countries.

please look it up! please check the constitution! you couldn't be MORE mistaken.

[hookem76578]

Most of these people are picked up crossing the border. They "claim" asylum after the fact.

[skinnychef]

that is just false. these are mostly non-latin people. ie. people from africa and other parts of the world, who are here seeking refuge from dangerous political situations, ie. darfur.

[hookem76578]

You are wrong again...the people are non-Mexican....mostly from Guatemala or Honduras. I have a family member who was on their transport team who traveled to border stations to pick them up after they had illegally crossed from Mexico. Don't believe everything you hear from the media. I did watch the story. That's all it is is a story until you get facts. When I said ignorant, I meant it by the literal definition meaning: lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned: an ignorant man.

[jtwack88]

Thank you skinny for bring such shameful atrocity to my attention. Children do not belong in prison. Any children, period. The real question is: How can we as a nation hold our heads up high after finding out about something like this? There is just no justification for it. It just made me sick to my stomach. I'm sure the good citizens of our great country feel would feel the same way. This has to stop. Thank you again.

[skinnychef]

hiya jt! thanks for your support! yeah! this needs to stop! feel free to pass the vid along to your friends...

peace!

xox

skinnychef

[gypsylady51]

Entering this country against laws is ILLEGAL a CRIME. Seeking political asylum? Go through proper channels. The families that are separated have to look in the mirror. NO ONE invited them here illegally. Groups need to be protesting in their HOME countries to make conditions better THERE. Want to be in America? STAND in LINE, do it legally. I don't think these illegals realize that most AMERICANS do NOT want our borders open to terrorists, criminals, diseases. That's what's happening.

[skinnychef]

hi gypsy.

i suggest you look up asylum in the dictionary. it is the BASIS of our country. "give us your tired and huddled masses" and all that crap. these are NOT illegal aliens, they are in the process of seeking citizenship through the proper legal channels.

[gypsylady51]

And I suggest you look up Illegal. The parents are Illegal....and through an incorrect interpretation .....anchor baby status is 'granted' to these children. That, too ...will change. If they want to be here? Let those already in line go first....

[skinnychef]

you completely miss the point that they ARE THE LINE!!!!

it is NOT illegal to seek asylum for religious or political reasons. think darfur or somalia. realize that all africans and latinos are NOT illegal aliens.

[PatriotSue]

They are illegal, if their visas have expired. They are illegal. You apply for asylum from your home countries or after you are here on a legal visa. Those in Hutto are illegal, stop your lies. If you try to apply for asylum after your visa expired, you are illegal. No on feels sorry for these illegals. The tragedy of their children has been caused by their parents crimes.

[skinnychef]

you are mis-informed. these people are in the application process. they have told ICE where they would be while awaiting their hearing, and are being picked up at those homes. they are in no way trying to abscond from the law. they have applied fro asylum and are waiting for their hearing.

if you don't feel for children who are imprisoned because their parents are going through the legal process of becoming legal citizens, you might want to check your moral compass.

[PatriotSue]

You need to check your morals. You want to give

SPECIAL PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT to illegal foreign nationals, while Americans and our children have to follow the law. That is discrimination against our people.

Why are you not protesting every prison in our country, where we throw Americans for breaking our laws. What about their children? Oh, I forgot, they are American. The people you discriminate against.

[jtwack88]

Yeah, so what about their children? Are they in prison too? No. PatriotSue, I am against illegal immigration and agree that anyone breaking the law should be punished accordingly. But I cannot agree that children should be punished for their parent's alleged crimes. Imprisoning children is just morally wrong. What has the U.S.A. become? How could anyone idly sit by while such shameful acts are carry out on children. We, as citizens, should bring this atrocity to the attention of the nation.

[henrihead]

So let's deport the children with their criminal parents. I fail to see what the age of an offender has to do with it. Children are adults who have not grown up. In the case of anchor larva the child IS the crime.

We've already got a much worse problem than Jimmy Communist... er Carter caused when he let his communist buddies from Cuba flood Florida. Let's not make it worse by continuing to allow the anchor baby scam.

[hookem76578]

You're right, JT. Send the parents to jail and the kids to foster care.....wait, I think the Hutto unit is a better system.

[hookem76578]

This is not a prison anymore. They are free to roam as the wish. They have buffet meals. They play video games and go to school(much more than their parents were offering them.)

[henrihead]

Well said, PatriotSue! We must stop allowing criminal aliens preferential treatment.

I believe the democrat party sees a vote for their communist agenda every time an illegal criminal crosses the border. Who knows what the Republicans are thinking. Either way the citizens of these United States are losers.

Let's force Congress and the Senate to build every inch of the fence themselves. Maybe after a hard day's work they'll understand how We The People really feel.

[henrihead]

We must stop the anchor baby scam. I'm sick of illegal criminals being allowed to stay here because they dropped their larva right after they swam across the river. And we even have to pay for the anchor larva to be delivered.

Another thing that really gets me is they won't even learn the language. We must make English the official language. No pass English test no get visa.

[Xalixco]

Hey Racist henri:

English is a foreign and immigrant language. English is the language of the American immigrants. YOU ARE AN IMMIGRANT!

If you want to speak an "official" language, learn an Indigenous language like

[Xalixco]

Mexican Nahuatl, Yaqui, Tohono O'Odham, Kickapoo, Raramuri, Comanche, Hopi, Apache, Dene, Tsalagi, Iroquoi, Algonquin, Choctaw,

etc, etc.

[henrihead]

That stupid commie crap of calling me a racist is as retarded as thinking it will change the fact that illegal aliens and their larva need to go home.

[Xalixco]

That stupid fascist crap of calling Mexicans "illegal aliens" is as retarded as thinking that it will stop Mexicans from crossing into their own land and you an immigrant from Europe can do NOTHING to stop it.

Since your an immigrant, maybe you should go back to England...Oh wait, the Irish and Scotts don't want you in their land either:)

[hookem76578]

Thank you. First bit of sense I have heard in a while.

[guinnesshead]

Privately run prison for kids? This is the type of vid that makes me thank God we have the internet, and the means to communicate to each other the bullshit thats goin down in our own backyards,./....Good Girl Skinny ;)

[skinnychef]

[Bree5]

This makes my stomach sick!...what are we becomming?? I m so glad to see you do this video! It's time for people to speak out against this prison. If we have no problem with this there is something really going wrong. We are having a HUGE problem with abuse of power in this country!..Thanks again for taking your time to do this! :) PS...did you do a garden?..hehe

[skinnychef]

Hi Bree! Thanks for all of your support! I hope the video inspires you and others to take action against this abhorant practice!!! We all need to call our state representatives and Chertoff and tell them to shut this practice down!!! No garden yet--still working on it! haha!

[Bree5]

Working on it!...Actually just called the Chief of Police in Hot Springs AR.! I don't know if you have seen the video, but there is a cop down there that needs to lose his job!..CK out the video of him choking some kids skateboarding!..will make you sick..no rights were read!...people need to wake up soon!...Keep up the fight! ((HUGS))

[FluxRostrum]

thanks for all of your support! and i'm looking forward to catching up on YOUR vids-- maybe today at the office? hehehe!

[evanaetor]

Liberal, have you seen any news coverage of this besides Skinny? I found two obscure stories. I can't believe the media is ignoring this story amidst the current immigration debate...

[LiberalViewer]

evanaetor,

I have NOT seen much coverage unless you count the ACLU Freedom Files, available on Court TV and Link TV. You can see an excerpt on YouTube at:

youtube(.)com/watch?v=HBCAgSCG­M04

Good to hear from you and glad to see you keep tabs on your ex-employees :-)
