Really do not care. They should stay home and not come here to whine about the accommodations.

"The only food we were given were sandwiches"

When I was detained waiting on a manifest bond I had to buy my own food. Should've brought a sack lunch.

They didn’t have any food. That’s why they gained 10 pounds.

The world weeps. Give them a PBJ and a roll of toilet paper. Done.

“..that she wasn’t allowed to feed her 2-year-old daughter formula” Because it was needed for those who can’t yet drink regular milk.

Yep, they’re Dem voters, coming for the free crap and whining when it’s not what they wanted. Go home. And don’t come back. Deport the freeloaders NOW!!

Americans are beginning to resent the daily woe-is-me tales of freeloaders lining up attempting to try to cash in on an immigration-lottery so some pro-bono lawyer lines their pockets with 30% of the settlement.

So I don’t believe a word. It might not be food that they are used to, but we aren’t handing out bad food, or water. Everyone receives 3 meals and 2 snacks a day. The centers are kept chilled because as most intelligent people know, germs thrive in warm places which is why hospitals and doctors’ offices are cold. There is no way these children went without bathing or without clean clothes or were allowed to become infested with lice. But they do come in dirty, and infested with everything from scabies to smallpox and TB. There was one complaint that a boy who refused a shower on the first day had to wait 2 days for his turn to shower again. Well sorry, but 100 others are in front of him. Did these children have 3 meals, two snacks, clean clothes and daily showers back home? If they did, why are they here? America has been expected to provide food, shelter and remedial education to thousands of people each week, and find a place to house them, regardless of the numbers invading. And we have done a great job. Sorry if we don’t meet their nose-in-the-air expectations.

Not to mention that those deported and interviewed in their home country never, ever, ever tell reporters there that they left for amnesty because of violence or oppression - that tall tale changes to one of leaving for economic opportunity reasons.

Close the border and stop this nonsense.

She crossed that border, breaking our laws... but wants to be fed and housed to her standards... and sues to see what more she can get. How about just going back to where they came from.. Complaining already, is unbecoming. Suing means she knows how to milk the system or being coached to milk the system.. if she succeeds, it will become another way to make lawbreaking profitable.

What kind of food would I get if I broke into El Salvador?

“The only food we were given were sandwiches that were frozen and not able to be eaten,” the El-Salvador citizen said.

OMFG - You were detained in Texas in the middle of a heat wave and couldn't figure out how to eat a frozen sandwich? We don't want people that stupid in this country anyway.

My cousin works at Imperial in Ca.. I sent this to her and she replied it's mostly BS. Bottled water is always available, meals are served on a regular 3 time a day basis, and they are allowed to take extras like fruit and such for snacks later.

She said the person in chains was likely somebody who had criminal charges/ or conviction, and they are required to keep them restrained when ever they are outside of a controlled enclosure.

In some sectors of Central and S. America, you would be the food.

Oh I know, yes they don’t put nice people in chains for sure.

They are fed decent food, though they rarely like it because it is not what they are used to. When a very large group arrives at once of course things are off kilter for a bit, but the illegals and their handlers do that on purpose because it used to increase the odds they would be turned loose.

They are always fed, always given potable or bottled water, they can sleep, ETC. This is nonsense they are told to say these things to gain sympathy. When there was a big wave “unaccompanied minors” during O administration the Nogales facility was bashed for serving cold burritos, they were hot but by the time everyone was served they were no longer hot. Not a 5 star restaurant, but some review it as if it is. No sympathy from me...they should have stayed home.

“Sleep deprived” is probably lawyer-speak for someone waking them up in the morning...
