The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is welcoming members of Congress and their senior staff to tour a temporary shelter being used to house illegal immigrant children — but the invite comes with a list of rules, including a suggestion that members leave their cellphones in their vehicles.
The 40-minute tour will take place Friday at the Ventura County Naval Base in Oxnard, Calif., according to the email invitation, obtained by The Daily Caller.
The tours are meant to give members and staffers an inside look at how temporary facilities are being used to house illegal immigrant children who came to the U.S. without their parents. The minors, who hail mostly from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, are being called “Unaccompanied Children,” or UACs.
Sent to members of Congress and staff by Rose Hacking, of the office of the assistant secretary of legislation at HHS, the invitation comes with the following commands:
No recording devices will be allowed (We may ask you to leave your cellphone in our vehicle) No questions will be allowed during the tour, but questions will be addressed later No interacting with staff and children at the shelter We will provide photos of the facility after the tour
During the tour, ”the tour guide will detail what goes on from room to room and the services youth are provided on a daily basis,” the email invitation reads.
But one congressional staffer invited to tour the facility called the planned tours “a dog and pony show.”
“Don’t talk to anyone, don’t record anything you might happen to see, but come visit us and we’ll give you a sanitized story with only the photos and accounts we want you to have,” said the staffer, who requested anonymity.

If the congressmen are on a fact-finding tour, then THEY have the authority to do whatever is necessary to find out how the HHS is functioning (and expending government dollars).
THEY have the authority—and they can tell HHS to stuff it—and report to investigative committees to testify about their actions, or face contempt of congress.
Impeach him NOW!
classified camp for illegals?

He wants no facial recognition of children that may be sex-trafficked or used, eventually, for organ donation.
In Texas all of our emergency facilities full. If we have a hurricane there will be no place for people to go to protect themselves from the storm. It is a really serious problem.
This has come to the attention of our state legislators and they are pi55ed.
