Due to the fact that media is not allowed inside the McAllen border patrol station, Action 4 News has learned what it's like from those who have been inside.
Maria and her 10-year-old son were just one of thousands of families that have been forced to stay in crowded rooms without leaving for days.
It took them 22 days to travel from their home in Honduras to the US before they were caught by Border Patrol agents just minutes after crossing the Rio Grande in a raft.
“He took everything from us, and he screamed at us and he told us to give him everything,” Maria said in Spanish. “He took our shoe laces, lotions, clothes, sweater and it was really cold. He just left us with the shirt we were wearing and the rest he threw away."
Maria never expected this to be her welcome to the US.
Maria and her son left their home in Honduras and embarked on a dangerous journey through Central America and Mexico.
She faced armed police along the way whom only let her pass if she paid 200 pesos ($15.40).
This happened to her eight times throughout her journey.
One time, Maria was also forced to hide her son so they wouldn't take him from her.
Maria thought the worst was over but she had a rude awakening when she and her son arrived in the Promise Land.
They were locked-up in a holding pod with over 100 other immigrants.
“We were there for days with the same clothes, without brushing our teeth or showering,” Maria said. “We all went to the same bathroom where there wasn't even a curtain. We would go to the bathroom and everyone would see."
The conditions were so bad that Maria's son passed out.

“Maria never expected this to be her welcome to the US.”
Right. She expected to be handed an Obama card and turned loose.
I bet she doesn't realize she broke the law. We have got to win the conversation on this issue, or we will feel the pain of the Romans.
Welcome to our latitudes of hell on earth, courtesy of Obama and his progressives trying to fundamentally reinvent the place you thought America was.
Too late. Now you are just Soylent political ingredients.
Maybe her and her “state rep.” should take their goatsmellin’ asses back to Honduras where they had it good.

The Bazaar World of Obama is Hell ,Run Home as fast as you can before you’re Sterilized
Let’s get that word out throughput Latin America, that the rumors of milk and honey were false.
I don’t believe her. But we should make sure this story is translated into Spanish and airdropped on flyers throughout Central America.
Just like telling libs I know in CA about how hot, dangerous, poisonous, and miserable it is in Texas. Helps keep them out!
Don’t care. go home. Not our problem.
>>Although it’s a journey she doesn’t ever want to repeat, Maria doesn’t regret coming here knowing she will now be able to provide for the family she left back in Honduras.
Maria tells Action 4 News the money she makes here in the US will be sent to her 75-year-old mother back in Honduras who suffers from numerous illnesses.
Maria doesn’t know how long she will stay in America but hopes it’s long enough for her son to learn English.<<
She was expecting Obama to personally lift her out of the Rio Grande.
Extreme sarcasm/off
Boo Hoo - should have stayed home.
“Maria never expected this to be her welcome to the US.”
Me neither. I thought they were getting an EBT card and a bus pass to the interior of the country.
So that is what the US is regarded as being? Wonder why….
I didn’t see your reply before posting mine. You may be right.
“We were there for days with the same clothes, without brushing our teeth or showering,” Maria said. “We all went to the same bathroom where there wasn’t even a curtain. We would go to the bathroom and everyone would see.”

Send word back home that America is a third world chithole just like Honduras.
