BROWNSVILLE, Tex. — In the loading docks, children sat in a darkened auditorium watching the animated movie “Moana.”
Where there were once racks of clothes and aisles of appliances, there were now spotless dorm-style bedrooms with neatly made beds and Pokemon posters on the walls. The back parking lots were now makeshift soccer fields and volleyball courts. The McDonald’s was now the cafeteria. All this made it difficult to visualize what the sprawling facility used to be — a former Walmart Supercenter.
The converted retail store at the southern tip of Texas has become the largest licensed migrant children’s shelter in the country — a warehouse for nearly 1,500 boys aged 10 to 17 who were caught illegally crossing the border.
The teeming, 250,000-square-foot facility is a model of border life in Trump-era America, part of a growing industry of detention centers and shelters as federal authorities scramble to comply with the president’s order to end “catch and release” of migrants illegally entering the country. Now that children are often being separated from their parents, this facility has had to obtain a waiver from the state to expand its capacity.
Cots are being added to sleeping areas. The staff is expanding. But even that is not enough. Federal authorities are considering establishing tent cities on Army and Air Force bases, and have already transferred hundreds of immigrant detainees to temporary housing at federal prisons.
On Thursday, the Department of Health and Human Services announced that temporary tent housing would be set up near the border station in Tornillo, Tex., to house up to 360 youths. That prompted an angry response from a Democratic state senator, José Rodríguez, who noted that temperatures could be expected to exceed 100 degrees at the site.

The Democratic Socialists are globalists and prefer that there be no borders or distinct American culture.
Agree. That’s the crux of this entire issue/situation.
I take it these are not the babies ripped from the arms of their mothers? I’ve yet to see pictures of that news but when I turn to any of the MSM to see what the enemy is reporting, that’s all they are covering. Last night Cuomo even had Cardinal Dolan on to discuss the tragedy. I couldn’t stay with it so I don’t know if he actually came up with any pictures of it happening! Turned to Lemon later - same thing!
BTFW
they are trying to overload the system
Of Course, the NY Times is the house paper for the Democrat Party. Don’t expect any objectivity from the NYT, they’ve got an agenda - help their dying party and get rid of Trump at any cost.
So if they have to spread rumours or outright falsehoods about Trump, they will - the end justifies the means, for them.
But then, they have to - the Democrat Party is getting killed by Trump.
Problem for the NY Times is, they’re “old media”, and the only ones listening to them are aging leftists and the NY Media Cocoon - their influence is dying, just like the Democrats.
Meanwhile Trump has 60,000,000 Twitter followers to spread his messsage country-wide, not just in NYC ... it will be a titanic messaging battle this summer
They can’t just deport them immediately. They arrest people that come in illegally. Some of them then claim asylum. They have to have a trial first. Since it’s not legal to detain the kids with the parents, the kids are separated. They can’t be deported until they go through the legal process, and many are hoping they get asylum.
Yeah, they tell them to appear in court in six months and let them go till then...How many show up for that court date????
And that’s a reason they started arresting people I think. People were given court dates and not showing up because they didn’t want to leave.
That was under "catch and release" which we are now not doing so that is why the dims are in an uproar since the so called parents are going to JAIL instead of just being released.
Dims loved the old way of doing business because you are right, they NEVER showed up for their court date.
BUILD the WALL!!!!!!!

Lots of partly empty or fully empty malls. I would love to see my local mall be turned into a hospital. It has an amazing location which is has off and on access to the high way, a large amount of acreage and it would be a much better usage then turning it into condos, town houses and apartments which would only bring in more traffic and demand for local services. Though there would probably be room for some housing for interns, if it were to become a teaching hospital. Lots of other businesses in the area to feed and cloth peoplel.
Central American parents will be bringing their children up to the border and having them walk across unaccompanied. The kids will get a 24/7 summer camp/school experience beyond anything “little folk” who are US citizens can only dream of.
It happened to me for a few weeks every summer from the ages of 10 to 15. We called it summer camp.
These children? How many would be recruited into gangs (if they aren't already), providing cheap illegal labor in construction and agriculture/landscaping, or get involved in sex trafficking?
It has been that way for a couple decades minimum, maybe several. It might be slightly more out in the open today, but it has been that way for a long time.
