Migrants complain of poor conditions at US holding centers

The Trump administration is facing growing complaints from migrants about severe overcrowding, meager food and other hardships at border holding centers, with some people at an encampment in El Paso being forced to sleep on the bare ground during dust storms.

The Border Network for Human Rights issued a report Friday based on dozens of testimonials of immigrants over the past month and a half, providing a snapshot of cramped conditions and prolonged stays in detention amid a record surge of migrant families coming into the U.S. from Central America.

The report comes a day after an advocate described finding a teenage mother cradling a premature baby inside a Border Patrol processing center in Texas. The advocate said the baby should have been in a hospital, not a facility where adults are kept in large fenced-in sections that critics describe as cages.

“The state of human rights in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands is grave and is only getting worse,” the immigrant rights group said in its report. “People are dying because of what is happening.” …

I watched that last night. It was infuriating! Our tax dollars paying instructors to show illegal freaks how to put on makeup and show off their “femininity”. They’re living high off the hog, given every benefit, while Americans live in poverty.

Apparently we have even worse illegals coming from the Congo.

On Ingraham last night we saw they have a much haughtier demanding attitude. They come right out and say, “You have to give me money!”, even though they’ve been seen off to the side counting the money they have, which consists of rolls of hundred-dollar bills. When the reporter asked where they got the money (Soros?), how their trips were arranged, etc., just more attitude, snippy retorts, and no answers. They’ve been carefully coached.

“People are dying because of what is happening.”

I believe that is called ... WINNING! If you do illegal things, there are consequences.

“In the first five months of this year, the number of apprehensions at the border has already exceeded the population of Atlanta, Georgia,” said Republican Rep. Kay Granger of Texas.”

and US taxpayers are supposed to feed and take care of them?
