Extreme overcrowding: Border Patrol tent in Donna, Texas, holding 5,700 migrants despite 250-person capacity (Where is Kamala?)

MISSION, Texas - A temporary Border Patrol facility in Donna, Texas, that is meant to hold a maximum of 250 people was holding more than 5,700 people Monday, putting it at 22 times over the legal limit, according to two government officials with firsthand knowledge of the numbers.

The extreme overcrowding, which is of added concern because of the coronavirus pandemic, comes as the Biden administration struggles with a border crisis that has seen it take twice as many migrant children into custody as were held during the peak in 2019 during the Trump administration.

Rep. Beth Van Duyne, a Texas Republican who had toured the facility Monday as part of a delegation, said that it was significantly over capacity because other federal agencies are not accepting families and unaccompanied children quickly enough.

“Pod after pod after pod of kids lying on the ground - barely enough room to even see,” Van Duyne said during a press conference on the Rio Grande River Tuesday. "They are trying to move them out as quickly as they can to decompression centers around the country where they are then filtering them out and processing through as quickly as possible."

Ms. Chameleon Harris is nowhere to be seen, though she may be jetting about the country elsewhere, high above flyover country. Got to keep the priorities straight until the provisions of the 25th Amendment can be carried out.

Yoo hoo, Kamala. Don't laugh. You're wanted in Donna, Texas.

A temporary Border Patrol facility meant to hold 250 invaders was holding more than 5,700 people, Monday.
That's 22 times the legal limit, according to two government officials with firsthand knowledge of the numbers.

“5700”

Tucker Carlson was reporting 4000 yesterday. Read the same thing here yesterday. It’s obvious the SloJoeHo team have completely lost control down there. I feel sorry for the kids. But then, they’re just inanimate objects to the Dems...the same as a foetus.

Most. They will release them into the states. Then invite everyone in to look at the empty cages.

... decompression centers around the country where they are then filtering them out and processing through ...
Resembles industrial jargon.

The feds could just abandon the effort and let the tired and weary though unfiltered and uncompressed. This empties the holding facilities, "success!"

FWIW, the TB concerns me far more than the WuFlu...

This is all the plan. Don’t you understand? Packing the kids tightly together insures it will have a mixing bowl effect for the various diseases they are carrying. That way is more effective on spreading everything once they are transported to various locations in the states.

It’s called cloward-pliven... overwhelm the government system, call for a new dynamic.. kommieala will never be held accountable.. calls for open borders in a month.. Republicans doing their part for the uniparty by letting us know “how bad” it is... then they will do nothing...

The chuckling ho just flies around the country or is on the right shoulder of slow Joe like the grim reaper. The left has no inclination to slow the invasion. Texas better do something before they lose the state to the DNC and Fedgov.
