Federal immigration officials gave separate tours for media, local governments, consular officials andimmigrant advocates on Thursday to show what residents will be afforded once they pass through the 15-foot gate to temporarily live behind high concrete walls.
The only person allowed to be quoted during the media tour was Lucero.
Once they enter under the welcome sign — in English and Spanish — immigrants will be processed through showers and health screenings and allowed to select clothes for themselves and their children. Mothers also can request diapers, baby bottles, pacifiers and blankets.
Further inside they will have access to a dental care, a bilingual library, playrooms, child care, pay phones, flat-screen TVs, free Internet access, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, weightlifting equipment, a small soccer field and a soon-to-be installed playground play scape.

When will the Gov’t provide me a $140 per person per day vacation voucher??? The family would luv to stay at one of the those fancy resorts at Disney World.***crickets**
Our government is colluding with the cartels. They know the profile of Narco State Central American Gangs are male and females mostly under 20. They are poor, disenfranchised, uneducated, and VERY easy to manipulate. They do the work American kids won’t do.
This administration knows the cartels use and abuse them as drug mules, and eventually as assasins. Our government is led by some SICK BASTARDS.

Mexican drug cartels increasingly recruit the young -2009

Protecting Omar
As violence kills a dozen people a day in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, the warring drug cartels need new recruits. They often turn to teens for drug smuggling, gun running or murder. The neighborhood of Diaz Ordaz is prime territory and 16-year-old Omar Camacho is just what they’re looking for. Camacho is a natural leader without many other opportunities.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, MEXICO — The number of minors swept up in Mexico’s drug wars — as killers and victims — is soaring, with U.S. and Mexican officials warning that a toxic culture of fast money, drug abuse and murder is creating a “lost generation.”
Although the exploitation of children by criminals is timeless, authorities say the cartels are responding to new realities here. They have stepped up recruiting to replace tens of thousands of members who have been killed or arrested during President Felipe Calderón’s U.S.-backed war against the traffickers.
The crackdown has led the cartels to diversify their operations, moving from the transshipment of narcotics to extortion, immigrant smuggling and kidnapping. It also has sparked intense rivalries, with youngsters serving as expendable foot soldiers in battles over trafficking routes to the United States and local markets that serve a growing number of Mexican drug users.
“The cartels recruit by first involving them in some drug trafficking, then in selling drugs and finally, in some cases for as little as $160 a week, they are given the job of tracking down people the cartel wants to assassinate,” said Victor Valencia, public security secretary in Chihuahua state, where Ciudad Juarez — Mexico’s most violent city — is located.
In the past year, 134 minors have been killed in drug-related violence in Juarez, according to El Diario, a local newspaper.

$74,000 A Day
In addition to the 140 a day WE will also pay for specica; ed teachers to go to the resort.

what can they learn in15 days?
it would take that long to categorize them
HOW we we stop this?
CaLL CONGRESS they are voting now, this afternoon
as much as this entire story infuriates me, the above line sends me over the top. The media remains silent on this request. If this were a republican administration, they would have been crying FASCISM as early as Feb 2009. Everyone in American needs to read or re-read Animal Farm
Well, I certainly hope each child is getting a pony! And if there are no mints on everyone’s pillow, I just think that’s mean.
