As Pelosi’s Democrats yell about soap and toothbrushes, migrants empty out Western Unions

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her open-borders Democrats are yelling about recent reports that illegal migrants caught crossing our border and placing themselves in temporary U.S. detention lack soap and toothbrushes, which apparently Uncle Sam has an obligation to provide, free of charge.

Officials confirmed Monday that hundreds of migrant children had been transferred out of a Border Patrol station in Clint, Tex., where they did not have soap, toothbrushes, clean clothes or enough food.

I always rely on the host country of the places I go to provide me with free soap and toothbrushes, don’t you?

Not even many lower-end hotels these days provide these things. But nothing’s too good for illegal border crossers.

And guess what? These migrants do have money to buy these toiletries for their extended visa-free stays here in the states, at least a lot of them and quite possibly all of them. The Washington Examiner reports they are cleaning out the Western Unions in Texas based on their huge withdrawals....

As Karl Denninger has pointed out, simply enforcing the existing anti-money laundering laws at Western Union by requiring proof of citizenship or legal residency to send or receive money would instantly dry up the primary source of revenue for human smugglers.

Many of our most critical social problems can be resolved by simply enforcing laws currently on the books. But too many in government don’t like those laws, and simply disregard them.

Obama forbade press coverage of the detention centers. Congressman were not allowed in to inspect. Now we know why. So AOC, et. al., could pounce on the Republicans are cruel to children meme. Total frauds.

How did they bathe or brush their teeth on their journey TO the border?

Maybe I’m odd, but I usually carry the basic necessities with me when I’m traveling, and I don’t toss them away when I get to where I’m going.

You have to be some kind of stupid not to pack your toothbrush when going on a trip.

So is Monica suggesting that we should release them from the detention centers so they can go to the CVS?

How do migrants in detention centers get to the Western Union office anyway?

As long as the Dems and the media keep showcasing this crisis, the more votes Trump wins by.

How can Western Union be ‘emptied out’? WU is not a bank and does not hold deposits and does not loan money out. They are a pipeline for moving money, minus a fee, from one place to another. They can’t be emptied out, because they are never full. I don’t understand this at all.

Each branch of Western Union probably only keeps so much cash on hand. If they have a run of people receiving large cash wire transfers, they can become short of cash until they have the time to make a bank run to get more cash.

Run out of cash on Friday night, and you won't get more cash until Monday. Thus you were 'emptied out.'
