Nancy Pelosi: ILLEGALS Starved, Get Water Instead of Medicine, in 'jail-like' Facilities (auto-on audio)

... Break-out the tissues:
Citing stories of malnutrition and medical neglect, 136 House Democrats led by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer on Wednesday demanded that President Obama release illegal moms and kids from "jail-like" Department of Homeland Security facilities.
In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, the Democrats charged that DHS "has not fully grasped the serious harm being inflicted upon mothers and children" held in "jail­-like" facilities awaiting action of their asylum and immigration cases.
"We believe it is undeniable that detention in a security facility is detrimental to mothers and children and is not reflective of our values as a nation. Children require special protections and should not be placed in jail-like settings," said the letter.
It comes as Secrets is reporting that up to 30,000 more illegal and unaccompanied children from Latin America are expected to cross into the United States this year. The issue has become tangled in the 2016 presidential race.
The Democrats charged that jailing kids has serious long-lasting impacts on their health. What's more, they cited several stories of children in custody suffering health troubles that have been ignored.
