AUSTIN, Texas — Rep. Beto O’Rourke and four other Democratic members of Congress toured a remote tent city in West Texas on Saturday where they said that 2,700 immigrant teens are being held at a cost of roughly $1 million per day.

The lawmakers urged the nonprofit running the facility not to renew a federal contract that expires Dec. 31, a longshot request that could effectively shutter the camp. It was supposed to be temporary but has instead taken in more children and taken on a permanent feel with soccer fields, a dining facility and tents housing separate sleeping quarters for boys and girls.

Beto should sponsor them all in one of his mansions. $1M/day is pocket change for his family.

Or is he only generous when it comes to other people’s money, particularly people that are less wealthy than he is?

Sure thing Bob (Beto). The gov can shut it down as soon all those in it are deported and the border is secure enough that no more illegals enter our sovereign nation.

No secure borders; no nation.

I wonder if Burrito and his four jalapenos even thought about touring a frigging homeless shelter with AMERICAN CITIZENS in it. Why is the boy only interested in criminal border jumpers who have come to America to rape, murder and steal?

Good idea Bee-Toe.

Send the invaders back to their own countries and shut it down.

Somebody is cutting a fat hog on this one

Sheriff Joe Arpio operated the Maricopa County Tent City Jail for about 20 dollars a day per inmate for almost 20 years

400 bucks per person per day is insane

He is still a Representative until January when his successor takes office.

I had the same thought.
