KARNES CITY - Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday will open a remodeled detention center three hours north of the Rio Grande Valley.
The Karnes City center will house women and children who entered the country illegally through the Valley.
The 532-bed facility underwent a massive renovation to house women and children. The center housed only adult immigrants in the past.
Immigrants will be at the facility for an average of 23 days.
The feds said the rooms will be referred to as "suites." The suites are furnished with bunk beds, play tables for children, flat-screen television sets and landline telephones.
"I will refer to everyone in this facility as a resident. ICE generally refers to people in custody as detainees," ICE San Antonio Field Office Director Enrique Lucero said.
Lucero oversaw the transformation of the center.
The center has a soccer field covered with artificial turf, basketball courts, ping pong tables and a weight room. Officials also have plans to install a playground.
A charter school from nearby San Antonio will provide schooling and access to a library for the immigrant children.
The immigrants will get medical screenings. Children will receive physicals within 24 hours of arriving at the center and women within a week.
"There is a dentist on site," Lucero said.
There is a room where the immigrants will get to pick new clothes. Every illegal immigrant will be able to choose six sets of clothes, including shoes and socks.
"While residents are here ... we will provide a safe and humane environment," Lucero said.
The feds estimate it will cost approximately $74,000 a day to house 532 immigrants at the center. That's an average of $140 a day per person.
Officials did not disclose how much the government spent to refurbish the center.
Where's the newly opened building to house homeless or ill American veterans ???
2. The suites are furnished with bunk beds, play tables for children, flat-screen television sets and landline telephones
All the comforts of home. Why do the illegal aliens need all this when they are not staying ??? And wheres the comforts for the American veterans ???
3 "I will refer to everyone in this facility as a resident. ICE generally refers to people in custody as detainees,"
I will continue to call them what they are ILLEGAL ALIENS They are not honored guests.
4. The center has a soccer field covered with artificial turf, basketball courts, ping pong tables and a weight room. Officials also have plans to install a playground.
Children don't need a weight room. Wheres the weight room for the American veterans so they can stay healthy ??? And why are we spending millions entertaining criminals ???
5. A charter school from nearby San Antonio will provide schooling and access to a library for the immigrant children.
They don't read, and not in English, and they wont be staying long enough for school.
6. The immigrants will get medical screenings. Children will receive physicals within 24 hours of arriving at the center and women within a week.
And American veterans are lucky if they can see a doctor in 24 WEEKS
7. "There is a dentist on site,"
Most American veterans aren't eligible to see a dentist at the VA
8. There is a room where the immigrants will get to pick new clothes. Every illegal immigrant will be able to choose six sets of clothes, including shoes and socks.
Why do the illegal aliens need all those clothes ??? One set would be enough to send them home in. And why not just good used clothes ??? Wheres the six sets of clothes for homeless American veterans ???
9. "we will provide a safe and humane environment,"
American citizens are not safe while the illegal aliens are here...and its not humane towards American citizens to keep on wasting tax payers money on lawless illegal aliens
10. The feds estimate it will cost approximately $74,000 a day to house 532 immigrants at the center. That's an average of $140 a day per person.
And no money for American veterans...
PING
Free medical care , free, food, free rent and flat screen TV....they’ll be calling all their friends and families to leave Central America and come to the USA, Land of the Free Stuff.
Our government is insane.
INSANITY!!!! Liberalism IS a MENTAL DISORDER!!!!
The malignant EXEMPT, hated Congress supports
criminal illegals BUT NOT Americans, NOT veterans,
and NOT the Constitution.
Massive renovation isn’t about detention centers it’s another socialist plan to restructure the country.
Our government is insane.
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
I ‘understand’ what you are saying BUT,
Since WE are the government it really hits home and the sad part is, WE have seen this coming for a long time and the SHTF when the do nothings and sympathizers seemingly outnumbered us - at least to the point where it got to be close enough to ‘steal’ an election or two.
I am just as ‘guilty’ but a lot of ‘us’ must share the blame. When we got ‘W’ instead of algore, more of us realized we were in a world of $hiite but kind of sat back and allowed ‘them’ to embolden themselves.
This exact scenario that we are undergoing was depicted a few years ago on TV shows.....and we were able to see in real life the ‘shift of power’....
Think David Simon out of Baltimore - a City that was in the transition WE as a Nation are undergoing now.
Virtually EVERY major city run by a “D” and/or under Black control is in serious ‘trouble’ (It isn’t Racist when one relates the truth).
We have almost ‘reached’ bottom now that we have a Black President, and a Black AG who both turn ‘blind eyes’ to certain happenings.
‘They’ enforce only the laws that suit them and the old “Well you whities did what you wanted to us when you were in charge”
Every bit of dissent is turned around and ‘we’ get accused of Racism, Sexism, Gay Bashing or whatever agenda ‘they’ are pushing.
I could actually ‘start’ to understand BO winning in ‘08 but to have these fools reelect him in ‘12 is downright sinful and just shows how far we have sunk.
Remember Mitt Romney (great choice.....yeah right), saying ‘no sense in reaching out to 47% of the country’ being all but keel hauled for such an outlandish statement.
Right from the start this Malmisadminstration was ‘screwing us’ starting with the ‘Office of the President Elect’ and ending up with the OATH OF OFFICE NOT BEING ADMINISTERED IN PUBLIC - I say ending, but it was just the start of a downward spiral.
Everytime I see that picture of BO bidding adieu to W and Cheney and Cheney with that ‘You no good SOB’ look, I get ticked that ‘we’ were allowed to be duped by this poor example of a Carnival Side Show.
Well, BO did promise to ‘fundamentally change America’ and remember R Limbaugh was deemed a traitor, race baiter and worse when he PUBLICLY OPINED THAT HE WISHED BO WERE TO FAIL.
