El Paso, Texas (CBS HOUSTON) – The Department of Homeland Security is looking to fulfill an order for thousands of pairs of men’s underwear – with hundreds of the requested men’s briefs in the 5X and 6X-large sizes.
A solicitation posted earlier this month by the Immigration & Customs Enforcement office seeks thousands of “White 100% Cotton Men’s Briefs” ranging from mediums to hundreds of 6X-large pairs of the underwear.
ICE facilities have seen a recent influx of detained immigrants awaiting deportation, during which time, the detention facilities require such basic items for the detained aliens, Breitbart reported. The ICE orders for the underwear are not unusual for the immigration detention facilities, according to ICE officials.
“This [request for quote] is a normal solicitation for routinely procured items needed at ICE-owned detention facilities around the country,” an ICE spokesperson explained to Breitbart News on Monday. “At ICE-owned detention facilities, the agency is required to provide basic necessities in order to feed and clothe detained aliens.”
The solicitation placed through Federal Business Opportunities cites that the large order – and large underwear – are bound for El Paso, Texas.
But such clothing orders may likely be needed in similar alien detention facilities across the southwestern U.S.
Earlier this month, more than 1,000 unaccompanied Central American children crowded into a Border Patrol facility in Nogales, Ariz. The flood of Central American minors has increased dramatically since last year, sparking what President Barack Obama called an “urgent humanitarian situation” near southwestern U.S. borders.
According to Green Valley News, the children are given medical exams, background checks, food, clothing and showers in the period before they are deported. However, a Border Patrol spokesman said that the agency is not accepting clothing or toy donations because there is not enough staff to inspect the items for cleanliness or safety.
State Sen. Andrea Dalessandro, D-Sahuarita, said there is not enough space in the crowded holding facilities to handle donations of clothing.
DHS data on arrested unaccompanied minors shows that since Oct. 1, there have been 11,577 from Mexico, 13,282 from Honduras and 11,479 from Guatemala. There have been 9,850 from Salvador.
I don't think I've ever ... ever ... seen a third world pic of someone in rags, naked or half-naked, etc (unless Sally Struthers promotefd it) ...
They all have white sneakers, clean shirts and pants ... even dust bowl african women have clean wind-flowing gown types ... colorful and clean.
How can someone shlep across Mexico and still be so FAT?
I’m fat and I don’t wear underpants that big.
Do they need to be clean, or will they be OK with some skid marks?
Could always add some with a Sharpie.
Step one: Steal underwear.
Step Two: ?
Step three: PROFIT!
Send them 7XL sizes in accordance to the meme that all Americans are obese.
Well that would be mean. And I wouldn’t. Still, why the huge ones.
I’ll consider contributing to that fund if I receive assurance from Border Patrol agents that the butts for which the underwear are needed are south of the Rio Grande.
oh, the waists...
They rode all the way!................
I dress everything I shoot.....................
Revenge for Montezuma’s Revenge?................
No tunnels?
I told my family to start throwing their dirty underwear in a bag instead of washing them. When the bag is full, we will send it to Homeland Security.
I’ll consider contributing to that fund if I receive assurance from Border Patrol agents that the butts for which the underwear are needed are south of the Rio Grande.
Be careful. There are places you could be 'South of the Rio Grande' and still be in the US!................
You might be arrested for an ‘Act of Terrorism’.......................
Only the Drug smugglers use those...............
