Here, there are 1,469 boys, ages 10 to 17, housed inside the 250,000-square-foot shell of a former Walmart superstore. None of the 313 bedrooms have doors. Or ceilings, so that children lying in their beds look up past where their walls end to the scaffolding of the superstore roof high above.
I have to agree with this commentator. This story also rocked my world and shifted my reality.
A quick summary:
There are thousands of children being held in cages in the US. Their crime: born to parents who decided to illegally cross the border. The parents are sent back home but the US separates them from their children and keeps them in detention camps where they are "treated like dogs". The children are escorted to the bathroom, hands tied behind their backs.
"This story is a test. The NSA and CIA watch and monitor everything. They are monitoring the public's reaction to this story. This is when thousands of people need to be on the street with signs - this is the test! If we let this happen, if we do nothing, if don't scream STOP RIGHT NOW!, ten years from now it might be YOU."
It only takes them 8 hours to flip a WalMart from a functioning store to one of these detention centers. Nothing's bolted down in a WalMart. So they can easily convert them into detention centers. This is even on Wikipedia.
"This isn't about the left and the right. It's to see if American's will finally get outraged."
He argues that boycotting WalMart would get them to change their actions. I have to disagree. I think WalMart has likely always been a government operation with this use as the intention all along. It does not rely on your dollar to stay afloat.

Hillary sat on the Board of Walmart http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/watchdog/ct-dcfs-george-sheldon-met-20170503-story.html
In six years as a member of the Wal-Mart board of directors, between 1986 and 1992, Hillary Clinton remained silent as the world's largest retailer waged a major campaign against labor unions seeking to represent store workers.
Clinton has been endorsed for president by more than a dozen unions, according to her campaign Web site, which omits any reference to her role at Wal-Mart in its detailed biography of her.
A former board member told ABCNews.com that he had no recollection of Clinton defending unions during more than 20 board meetings held in private.
The tapes show Clinton in the role of a loyal company woman. "I'm always proud of Wal-Mart and what we do and the way we do it better than anybody else," she said at a June 1990 stockholders meeting.
Clinton would not agree to be interviewed on the subject but now says she no longer shares Wal-Mart's values and believes unions "have been essential to our nation's success."
Sen. Clinton has recently sought to distance herself from Wal-Mart.
In a campaign speech last year in New Hampshire, Sen. Clinton said, "Now I know that Wal-Mart's policies do not reflect the best way of doing business and the values that I think are important in America."
Her Senate campaign returned a $5,000 contribution from a Wal-Mart Political Action Committee, although ABCNews.com discovered another $20,000 in contributions from Wal-Mart executives and lobbyists.
According to the New York Times, Sen. Clinton "maintains close ties to Wal-Mart executives through the Democratic Party and the tightly knit Arkansas business community." The May 20, 2007 article also reported that her husband, former President Clinton, "speaks frequently to Wal-Mart's current chief executive, H. Lee Scott Jr." and held a private dinner at the Clinton's New York home in July 2006 for him.
In a written statement, Clinton spokesperson Wolfson said, "As President, she will fight alongside labor to promote the economic growth of America's middle class." He said Clinton strongly believes Wal-Mart workers should be able to unionize and bargain collectively.
He did not directly respond when asked why she did not quit the board over the company's anti-union efforts. "Wal-Mart was Arkansas's largest employer when Sam Walton asked Sen. Clinton to join the board," he said. "As the first woman to join Wal-Mart's board, she worked hard to make it a better corporate citizen."
In its statement, Wal-Mart described Sen. Clinton as "a valuable contributor" who "pushed us to be a better company."
Oh, I am sure the Clintons have nothing to do with these shuttered Walmarts. Hmm. Southwest Key donates to the Clintons.
Now this was a Complete Surprise.

Yeah, I was just as surprised. And look at her, flip flopping just like Bill. They both picked up each other's worst habits. Bill has Chicago connections, I know and am trying to find.
