The Trump administration is facing growing complaints from migrants about severe overcrowding, meager food and other hardships at border holding centers, with some people at an encampment in El Paso being forced to sleep on the bare ground during dust storms.

The Border Network for Human Rights issued a report Friday based on dozens of testimonials of immigrants over the past month and a half, providing a snapshot of cramped conditions and prolonged stays in detention amid a record surge of migrant families coming into the U.S. from Central America.

The report comes a day after an advocate described finding a teenage mother cradling a premature baby inside a Border Patrol processing center in Texas. The advocate said the baby should have been in a hospital, not a facility where adults are kept in large fenced-in sections that critics describe as cages.

“The state of human rights in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands is grave and is only getting worse,” the immigrant rights group said in its report. “People are dying because of what is happening.” …

They get here and bring 5,200 people plus now in ICE custody ‘quarantined’ for exposure to mumps or chicken pox, and they’re coming in with diseases such as smallpox and leprosy respiratory infections and TB... that reporters bury....yet these people say they don’t like how they’re treated????

Perfect, they can now impeach Trump due to high crimes and misdemeanors at the border. He is killing sick children and causing young women to birth babies in the desert!
The inhumanity of it all!

Are the conditions in the holding centers worse than whatever craphole they came from? If so, then they should go back to said craphole. If not, then their situation has already improved. Either way, they have no reason to bitch about it.

Then quit pooping in the floor and learn to flush the toilets provided.

US citizens should have such horrible conditions. Indoor toilets and showers, day care (why?), classrooms, libraries, health care, 3 square hot meals, tv, playgrounds and full maid service and all for free.

Free hot meals they didn't have to cook or wash the dishes.

Oh, the horrors of having to go to school.

Thanks Olog-hai. Perhaps the trains that bear them back across Mexico to their original hell holes will be air condidtioned.

They are whining about sleeping on the ground? Where did they sleep for the previous 2000 miles?

I want to hear ONE Democrat say we need to let them in because they come from shithole countries.
