A non-profit organization will resume the use of an abandoned Wal-Mart in Brownsville as a shelter.
A Southwest Key spokeswoman confirmed the facility is set to open on March. They said it’ll be to welcome unaccompanied minors who crossed into the U.S. illegally.
It will be the 4th facility in Brownsville to shelter children, under the age of 17, who have crossed into the U.S. without an adult.
Southwest Key is federally funded by the Office of Refugees Resettlement. The group’s mission is to provide a safe environment for unaccompanied children while they wait to be reunited with a sponsor or relative in the U.S.
Officials said the number of unaccompanied children in the past three years has, historically, been the highest. They expect the numbers to remain the same.
According to ORR’s website, most children are coming from Central America. They said 15 to 17-year-olds still make the biggest age group.
The website also stated twice as many males are coming to the U.S. than females. The average stay for unaccompanied minors is 36 days.

Closed Walmart, turned detention center.
This sounds like a story a read a while back from the tin foil hat crowd.
They get millions in Fed Money. A couple of years ago, IIRC, they were the 2nd highest beneficiary of Federal Dollars of the US refugee programs.
Excellent.
Brownsville is right next to the border and return will be easy.
Will they allow smoking in the boy’s room at this station in Brownsville?
What fresh hell is this?
“Southwest Key is federally funded by the Office of Refugees Resettlement”
Sounds like US tax money is the funding.
Trebuchets in the parking lot and launch them back into Mexico.
Send them home! Let their home countries reunite them. Never let them stay in US.
Yeah, that might’ve been the purpose when they thought Hillary was going to win. Can’t wait to see what really happens there :)

That’s where they’re going, to their parents who are already here illegally.

I heard it takes a village to raise a child, right?
Let’s send these kids back to their original villages. We need to show some compassion (cough)
