After us senator denied entry into Trump's Walmart FEMA camps, they allow a small group in to see the children living in deplorable conditions

Should we house criminals in 5 star hotels?

Bread, eggs, beans, fruit and milk, you call that unfit? That is more than I eat all day and that was just breakfast.

No, but you also shouldn't deny a sitting us senator access to the facility when there is reports of 1500 missing kids and stories of sexual abuse

On Wednesday, for the first time since that policy was announced, and amid intense national interest after a U.S. senator was turned away, federal authorities allowed a small group of reporters to tour the secretive shelter, the largest of its kind in the nation.

Inside, in what used to be a McDonald’s, shelter employees served scores of mostly teenage boys chicken, vegetables and plastic fruit cups.


The organization now houses 5,129 immigrant children approaching half the approximately 11,200 currently in federal custody — in facilities that are being strained to capacity, according to Juan Sanchez, the founder and chief executive.

Each day, the federal government sends Casa Padre a list of children detained at the border to be placed in the shelter, said Jaime Garcia, program director for Southwest Key. They arrive in white vans, half a dozen at a time. After they are fed, clothed and showered, the boys spend up to 72 hours in “intake” as they are vaccinated.


Business briefly slumped a year ago, when the spring surge of unaccompanied teen immigrants failed to materialize. Southwest Key laid off nearly 1,000 employees, according to media reports at the time.

But the flood of teens soon resumed, and then the Trump administration began separating families. So, just one year after the mass layoff, Southwest Key is racing to keep up with a new boom. The organization has hired about 700 employees in the past two weeks, and is aiming to hire another 150 as soon as possible, Sanchez said. More than 200 jobs are available at Casa Padre alone, according to Southwest Key’s website.


Federal officials declined a request to interview children and employees at Casa Padre. But a Washington Post reporter recently interviewed a teenager who spent about three months in Casa Padre, from February until early May of this year.

Jairom, 17, had fled an abusive home in Honduras and traveled through Mexico for a month, mostly by train, before he was detained crossing the Rio Grande. His family asked that only his first name be used.

“They gave us a bit of bread, a nasty egg and some beans and an apple and some milk,” he said, describing breakfast. “Everyone complained about the food.”

I think you are being played and conned OP. Yes the situation is not ideal but where else would they be? It could be a lot worse and no it is not a pedo factory..

Fake news. Go back to your base base ass hat. Fricking lying piece of shit

Kind of hard to go home when your housed in a maximum security Walmart turned FEMA camps.

The senator can't even get in.
