Texas migrant facility 'pod' at nearly 9x capacity seen in shocking video posted by Sen. Lankford
Fox News ^ | March 27, 2021 | Houston Keene

Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., posted a shocking video of a "pod" at a Texas migrant facility along the southern border that is holding nearly nine times as many people as it was designed to hold.

Lankford toured the migrant holding facilities on Friday along with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and other GOP senators.

The Oklahoma senator shared a video on Twitter from a tour of a migrant holding center along the southern border that illustrated the startling scene: a pod designed to hold 80 people filled to the brim with over 700 migrants.

"Day two from the border — this is a pod that’s designed to hold 80 people that’s currently holding 709," wrote Lankford.

The video showed people shoulder to shoulder, sitting and sleeping on floors while wrapped in aluminum blankets. The migrants were held behind clear walls, with some not wearing masks.

Lankford posted a follow-up tweet showing a side-by-side comparison of how the facility is supposed to look in operation and what it looked on Friday.

"For a side-by-side comparison, the first photo is from my trip to the border in 2019 -- the second is from today," wrote Lankford. "Plenty of space to walk around and safely spread out."

"Tell me this isn’t a crisis," he added.

Multiple incredible videos of the facility. The press has been refused access to this. Takes an Act of Cogress, literally, to expose what is happening.

All of it totally caused by the O'Biden/Kamala administration.

Cruz did a fairly good job of filming before that AOC goonalike got in front of him. It’s disgusting, these migras pendejos have convinced themselves anything is better than Honduras and Nicaragua and El Salvador, when the reality is the first month they join UberEats, they’ll be carjacked by 2 ferals near Nationals Park...

Kudos to the senators actually doing the job that the press should be doing

but we know of course they won’t - because they’re all stone cold Marxists in lockstep with the Democrats socialists

Welcome to 1984 kids

I am starting to see that this is a brilliant move by our real President Trump to allow the Democrats to go through with the steel and then have to take over beyond nervous and make all kinds of mistakes and show their true colors

look !! they’re in charge !! they have to run things right??

It’s amazing to watch the spokesidiots get on the shows and try to blame President Trump !!!

but they know they can’t do it anymore ; and so they just really struggle and then they just try to go into their blaming Republicans!! routine and nobody’s going to buy that

The evil Marxists need an Enemy. They cannot exist without one

That’s because they don’t want to get out and proactively promote what they really believe !!!!

which is complete utter federal jackboot thug control

Make no mistake about it kids

It sounds like the local fire code is being breached.

A fitting exception for those involved.

kids?

I’m 73.

I’ve been engaged in battle against the Totalitarian Left since the 1960’s. I totally hate what they have done to our country.

I will die trying to expose them for what they are.

Take that to the Bank.

There is only one type of Good Commie.
