Vice President Mike Pence, accompanied by Republican senators including Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC), visited two detention facilities near the U.S.-Mexico border where migrants were being held on Friday. Pence visited one center in Donna, Tex. where men were being held in addition to a McAllen facility where children were detained.
The account from pool reporter Josh Dawsey of the Washington Post, who accompanied Pence into the facility in Donna, is chilling:
After negotiating with the VP’s office, pool was taken into an outdoor portal at the McAllen Border Station around 5pm, where almost 400 men were in caged fences with no cots. The stench was horrendous.
The cages were so crowded that it would have been impossible for all the men to lie on the concrete. There were 384 single men in the portal who allegedly crossed the border illegally. There were no mats or pillows—some of the men were sleeping on concrete.
When the men saw the press arrive, they began shouting and wanted to tell us they’d been in there 40 days or longer. The men said they were hungry and wanted to brush their teeth. It was sweltering hot. Agents were guarding the cages wearing face masks.
Dawsey also noted in his report in the Washington Post that the only water available to migrants was kept outside the fences where they were held and that they had to ask Border Patrol every time they wanted a drink.
In a video of the visit, it appeared that Pence did not speak with any of the migrants, only talking with a Border Patrol officer and turning away from the men who were shouting, “No shower! No shower!”

Flimsey Grahamnesty still wants to make them all citizens with amnesty that he’s been working to pass since 2006.
Re-elect Bush League Republicans at our peril.
Funny, I didn’t hear them say a damn thing when conditions in Obama’s camps were worse.
To all: Do you know what mexico does to illegal aliens entering their country?
The locals that catch them beat the crap out of them. Their stuff is taken from them. Then the authorities gtthem and beat the crap out of them. They tell them if they come back they will kill them. Then they drive them back into central america on crappy buses and trucks and dump them.
If it were me and i was President, I’d use everything at my disposal to send a clear and loud signal to these nincompoops that when they print something damaging and untrue.. there would be swift and severe
consequences.
It just gets worse with every attack that goes unchallenged. And they have no right to be so wrong.
the courts protect media lies.
Wait till they find out what Clinton was doing with orphans and foster children
Oh I know. They won’t. They’ll deny it if they do.
Dems. Putting the “D” in deeeeelusional for years.
If I were President( my Grampa used to say that and I loved him) I would arrest one of these commie mayors like yoga pants Garcetti and charge him with breaking federal law. Make an example and start a conversation or a war. Let’s get it on.
As the democrat controlled US House whistles past the cemetery of the illegal immigration disaster, as long as Trump keeps being blamed by the libturd media, Pelosi and crew will continue kicking President Trump in the groin instead of doing their job to fix it, sick and dead Mexicans be damned!
Build the wall.
They can turn around and go home, can’t they?
Say snowflakes who have never visited prisons in Turkey or Mexico
The courts are the playground bully and bullies pick on those they can. The way to curtail bullies is to make sure they know THIS one will cost you more than you can handle... and keep using examples till they get the message.
They long ago lost the title of free press.
