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 Obama’s administration continues to implement this dangerous and inhumane policy, meanwhile neglecting to answer crucial questions our citizens demand and deserve," she said.

So is the Border Patrol instructed to let them come over? It seems that so many people in such a short length of time should be spotted and stopped at the border.
It’s all the news on the border states because they are having busloads of kids dropped off at the border and they are walking over.
Locals are suggesting the US go find a couple of battalions of Eastern German border guards used in the cold war and hire them on as temp border guards.
Arizona and Texas should export them to more blue states. California, NY, Mass, Ill and such.

As I posted before,D.C. is the place for all of them.
.
They should be adopted by democrats. Put them in a democrat’s home like a foreign exchange student.
Obama is going to offer to reunite these families in America, rewarding them for child endangerment and child abandonment... just more crimes illegals are allowed to get away with.
DC will be perfect as long as they never get voting representation.
Let them be adopted by homosexuals. Then the rumor can get back down south that if they come to the US, they will become indentured servants of homosexuals.
The illegal I had contact with jaws 15 when she walked over. She’s now almost 17 and in permanent foster care until she is 18 . Guess what? She’ll be old enough to vote in the 2016 election.
“Kill the unborn children and import the illegal children to replace them.”
Or to put it another way -
The Obama administration is dissolving the electorate and installing a new one.
The GOP are being setup to take the BLAME for what ever happens
The Obama administration is dissolving the electorate and installing a new one.
Timing is everything. They’ll be voting in the next election.
That’s the spirit.
Maybe the federal officials that said AZ needed to get supplies out there right away should have sent supplies WITH the kids. Sheesh.
I live in Hawaii and the homeless situation here is insane. Everytime I read about this border situation I literally have a hard time understanding this. I mean I’m dumbfounded that it is ok by O that children are crossing over w/out their parents? I don’t get it. Is it so their parents then follow? Are they orphans. Are they merely pawns? How cruel is that?
Treasonous Action by the Resident to create a crisis to push amnesty....
Just another event leading up to the last days. . . identification tattoos, etc.
This reminds me of the in your face/screw you stance our government took against we citizens during sequestration. It’s punishment for those who won’t obey.
Feds abandon children in Arizona? Is this child endangerment?
