Default Immigrants to be Housed in 'Suites' Near San Antonio

Apparently, we are now not only the most generous country in world history, but also clearly the dumbest to do something like this for people who enter here illegally.

KARNES CITY - Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday will open a refurbished detention center three hours north of the Rio Grande Valley.

The Karnes City center will house women and children who entered the country illegally through the Valley.

The 532-bed facility underwent a massive renovation to house women and children. The center housed only adult immigrants in the past.

Immigrants will be at the facility for an average of 23 days.

The feds said the immigrants will be referred to as "residents" and the rooms as "suites." The suites are furnished with flat-screen television sets and landline telephones. The center has a soccer field covered with artificial turf, ping pong tables and a weight room.

A charter school nearby will provide schooling and access to a library for the immigrant children.

Am waiting to see how many more of these folks NJ will get once the 3 Atlantic City casinos close at the end of the summer! I bet there will be some of our initial allotment of 1,500 will be disappointed they had family to receive them!

You can bet if I were a homeless Vet in the San Antonio area I'd get my butt over there and make a fuss about getting one of those suites - and make a bigger fuss if I didn't get one! I'd be a media feature story!

the silent majority is getting what it deserves.

Illegals being allowed into our country being benefitted by lawless politicians giving billions of tax dollars of freebies away while America's homeless, poor, less fortunate, disabled vets and other overlooked Americans get nothing close in benefits.

Where is the outrage? Only those directly affected in the border towns or towns where these illegals are being dumped. The rest of us who are not affected (yet!!!) go merrily on our way. But we will ALL be affected in the not too distant future. Our future generations will pay the price in many ways we would not stand for.

The silent majority!!!

Yes where is the outrage ... exactly!! This policy is so insane, so stupid and so unbelievable--not to mention discriminatory and unfair to current LEGAL citizens -- it's like you have to wonder if the Federal Gov't has literally lost its mind??? It's time for a "peaceful revolution" whereby we the people constrain the powers of the government to prevent them from doing idiotic things like this.

"Apparently, we are now not only the most generous country in world history, but also clearly the dumbest to do something like this for people who enter here illegally."

"Laughingstock" is a better word for what "our" elected politicians are knowingly committing and accepting "on our behalf".

And the people coming here, just as we would if in their awful circumstances, are called illegal "aliens". Look it up in the U.S. Code (statutory law). "Alien" comes up with 1,234 occurrences.

Political correctness is erasing the true concepts of what is taking this country down, mocking the laws made to protect our nation's integrity.

The situation today is so similar to what happened in Miami in the 1960's when the Cubans started to arrive. Fidel Castro emptied his prisons and leper colonies, and look at the mess we have today.

The facility is a refurbished detention facility. The rooms are CALLED suites.

Would it be better to have the women and children housed in 8x12 jail cells with a single hanging light bulb?

I doubt if any of the people on this forum would choose to stay in a refurbished detention center for 23 days.

In my view, instead of spending money on housing, food, medical care and drivers licenses, the moment illegals are discovered they should be returned immediately and directly to their source of origin and on the way back home they can fed them and help with their heath care needs.

given the state of our economy, this upside down immigration policy Washington scandals and our inept foreign policy blunders Congress should never have been allowed vacation. Politicians are no longer farmers who need to go home and tend to their crops.

This country is going to hell in a hand basket and these jokers all want to get some golf in and lay in the sun.
