These shocking photos show child immigrants crammed inside cages and tiny rooms at a U.S. Government border facility - further highlighting the humanitarian crisis along America's border with Mexico.

The images were taken at a holding center in Texas which can no longer accommodate large numbers of children and mothers traveling alone with their kids, forcing the federal government to open more facilities.

Caged: Congressman Henry Cuellar took these shocking images to highlight how overwhelmed the US authorities are with the recent tide of illegal immigrants

Young faces: The pictures, taken recently, show just how many of the illegal immigrants are children - many of whom have no supervising adult. Up to 400 a day are pouring over the border

In one snap, taken during a tour of the Customs and Border Protection facility in South Texas, a large group of immigrants are locked in a wire mesh cage.

In another, tiny children run around a packed room and foil sheets – the only blankets they have – cover the concrete floors.

Up to 40 people a time - most appearing dirty and dejected - can be seen in filling rooms only large enough for ten.

This comes as the MailOnline learns that overworked border patrol officers struggling to cope with the huge influx are separating diseased child immigrants with make-shift quarantine methods - yellow evidence tape.

" not become some Mesoamerican mamacitas want a better future in "El Norte" for their kids, but because the most powerful people in the USA want this to happen."

That's ridiculous.

The "Forbes 500" is not putting a gun to these folks heads and driving them north against their will.

But, YEAH CoC and the promise of benefits/citizenship (democrats) are encouraging and rewarding this behavior.

But I stand by my contention that the only effective fix is to militarize the border and demonstrate the will to use deadly force to protect it.

And, I'll double down...just so you don't mistake me for someone unserious: Every illegal here today should be deported, voluntarily if they'll take good advice, but at the barrel of a gun if necessary.

"That's ridiculous. The "Forbes 500" is not putting a gun to these folks heads and driving them north against their will."

You misunderstand me, if you think that's what I said. What I said is that they have been dangling incentives in front of people's eyes, forever. It's not a forced-march, it's pervasive promise of rewards, advantages, opportunities, and benefits.

"Forbes 500" is my (not perfectly accurate) shorthand way of saying big corporate contributors, not even so much their "hard money" to electoral campaigns, candidates and parties, but "soft money" to movements that are usually socially liberal, and the favor the free movement of capital and labor across borders.

If you think that's what I said, you misunderstand me. What I said is that they have been dangling incentives in front of people's eyes, forever. It's not a forced-march, it's an allurement, a pervasive promise of rewards, advantages, opportunities, and benefits.
