One woman described as Lidia, 22, said during her interview that she and her 4-year-old son “went hungry the entire time” they were detained in McAllen, Texas.

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

Which is it? Were they not given any food the entire time or were they given sandwiches?

Give them a box lunch, take them to the border, and tell them “Go home.”

They were not treated in the manner for which they came here to become accustomed to.

The quality and quantity of the free food, care, housing, medical, clothing and facilities did not meet their expectation.

I worked for many years in a CBP facility. The illegals in recent years (guided by ??) have been massing at the border at times to deliberately swamp the system. When dealing with normal numbers the system works great- but when overwhelming numbers arrive all at once it does become difficult to deal with them.

I do not believe they were fed spoiled food, they may have had to deal with frozen food- that is how it is kept and if a lot of people had to be fed at once, well you have to do what you have to do. How about they let it thaw and then eat it? That is what I would have done, better than going hungry. I have never seen water given out other than bottled water or drinking fountains that are open to all, so am pretty sure it was not bad water.

I do think their sleep is likely interrupted, because of suicide attempts and what not they have to be checked on every few minutes. I am sure they slept better there than in the desert during their journey to this country.

Overwhelming the system is something illegals and their supporters do on purpose, so any uncomfortable consequences of their actions should not be on this country. I for one will in no way apologize. They should have stayed in their country.

“I do not want to be here anymore, especially since I know how much my father is suffering. The way I have been treated makes me feel like I don’t matter, like I am trash,” Sergio said.

Well, bye.

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.

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.

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