There is a mountain of retrospective and prospective evidence documenting the devastating effects of childhood adversity on addiction, anxiety disorders, PTSD, depression... in adulthood.

Last night on @Lawrence I said I saw babies alone in cages at the processing center in McAllen.
Just learned more: it's a play area for mostly tender aged kids *without* parents, supervised by contractors in a watch tower.
Border Patrol didn't explain that on the tour.

Just visited this facility and can confirm that the conditions are horrific. Parents getting just 15 mins a day with their kids. Some immigrants waiting longer than a week to be processed. America, we’re better than this. #FathersDayofAction
