It is not as though we are going to send them back on a plane and Juan Diaz will be there with yellow roses saying: Welcome back. children of Honduras and El Salvador. They will go back to the very danger from which they ran. When I went to the McAllen Border Patrol station. which is really a detention facilityit was designed to detain adultsunderline that word. It was designed to hold up to 300 people. usually illegal immigrants trying to cross the Rio Grande. These really look like cells. They are cement cinder block facilities that were designed to hold 10 or 12 adults. and they hold as many as 20 or 30 children who are sleeping on the floor. The Border Patrol is doing the best they can. The Border Patrol is taking care of children because we cant move them to humanitarian facilities as the law requires. The children are taking turns sitting on a cement block to even be able to rest. There are 20 or 30 in a room sleeping on the floor and using empty water bottles for pillows.
