The state of Arizona has shipped mattresses, portable toilets, and showers to a warehouse in Nogales where over 700 illegal immigrant children have been "dumped" by federal agents using the facility as a makeshift holding center.
An official with the Department of Homeland Security told the Associated Press that 2,000 mattresses have been ordered after most of the children spent the night sleeping on plastic cots.
Gov. Jan Brewer's spokesman, Andrew Wilder, said Friday that conditions at the center are so dire that federal officials have asked the state to immediately ship medical supplies there.
DHS started flying illegal immigrants to Arizona from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas last month after the number of immigrants -- including more than 48,000 children traveling on their own -- overwhelmed the Border Patrol there. Families were flown from Texas, released in Arizona, and told to report to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office near where they were traveling within 15 days. ICE has said the immigrants were mostly families from Central America fleeing extreme poverty and violence.
Federal officials told Brewer Friday that more than 1,000 illegal immigrant children will be "dumped" in Arizona this weekend and the practice would continue for the foreseeable future. Adults and family units will also arrive, though Brewer was not told how many, her office said. Brewer said the federal government never formally informed her administration of the practice and has never explained it.
Brewer said she has demanded answers from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, and is again calling on President Obama to terminate the practice. I am disturbed and outraged that President Obamas administration continues to implement this dangerous and inhumane policy, meanwhile neglecting to answer crucial questions our citizens demand and deserve," she said.

Kill the unborn children and import the illegal children to replace them.
The DNC should be paying for this. After all, they are being allowed to come here because they will become welfare dependent zombie Democrats.
IMHO, send them to Hawaii and let them live in Obama’s villa.
We will survive that bastard that occupies the WH. The US is no Detroit.
Solution...make an appointment for them at a VA hospital or VA clinic.
I read a similar article yesterday that said 3 out of 4 of these “children” were at least 16 years of age. I don’t like having to pay to fly them from Texas or wherever to Arizona just because DHS wants to dump them there.
Remember during the good-old days of AB 1070?
How the Fedzilla fought AZ and said they had no standing in passing this law?
So AZ has no standing to send illegals supplies then.
If I was Governor of AZ, I wouldn't lift a finger to provide any aid or comfort to these illegals, not even to the children.
An attempt to gin up sympathy for the ILLEGAL hordes that infest this nation.
Send the bill to DC
Hundreds of thousands of illegal minors from Central America just happen to decide now to walk all the way through Mexico and end up at the Rio Grande sector in Texas with no money and no help from anybody?
Not on your life.
This is a cynical plan originating in the White House, probably operated, in part, by the State Dept, using cut out proxies such as la raza and maldef, no doubt being paid for with US taxpayer money.
Take it out of Moochelle's travel and party budget.
The feral government has deliberately created another crisis to not let go to waste.
Is this government official pretending she didn't know the government she works for has been aiding and abetting this epic lawless invasion for the past 30+ years?
Total complete BS.
Don’t let them cross the border. Let Mexico deal with them.
Give them all a free bus pass to 1600 Penn. Ave, DC.
Blah. Blah. Blah. Brewer will give the outraged public a lot of talk and useless gestures while on the ground she will do everything necessary to facilitate the unarmed invasion. This is GOP SOP.
I second your motion. It’s obvious they are being let in by this lawless government.
If they aren’t going to deport them, they need to ship them in large concentrations up north, to at least counterbalance the great Muslim influx in places like Detroit.
I agree, this is orchestrated. An article some weeks ago claimed US intelligence were in south/central America stirring up unrest and possibly encouraging illegal immigration.
