San Antonio, TX: government officials announced plans to house illegal immigrants, who they call “residents” rather than “detainees,” at a ‘remodeled’ facility including flatscreen TVs, new clothes and astro-turf sports areas. Does the move to put these children in school suggest the administration really plans to house them here for just 23 days?
Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday will open a remodeled 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 rooms will be referred to as “suites.” The suites are furnished with bunk beds, play tables for children, flat-screen television sets and landline telephones.
“I will refer to everyone in this facility as a resident. ICE generally refers to people in custody as detainees,” ICE San Antonio Field Office Director Enrique Lucero said.

Oh great.
To pay for this our veterans deployed overseas got pink slipped by everyone in Washington and don’t let any elected or appointed official fool you either. They are all to blame and every damned one of them should hang their heads in shame.
How about our HOMELESS VETERAN ???
I don’t see how this is anything positive – especially with the number of poverty-stricken families that are US citizens~!!!!
I’m sorry but this makes me sick! I lost everything after my Husband passed away! I’ve got injuries that stop me from working, I’ve been trying to get on social security disability for 2 years now! When my husband passed away it was August 22. He got his VA check on the 1st of August, but because he didn’t live the whole month the VA made me pay it back to them! I’m suppose to be getting a VA check each month! But the VA has done nothing but fight me about it! I lost everything! I was fixing to start living in my car when my Daughter Amanda found out! I’m now staying in her home! I have absolutely nothing! And the VA is still putting me off! It will be 1 year on August 22! And I just went Monday to see the last social security Dr to try again to get on my social security! I’m sorry I do not feel sorry for people that come into this country illegally! And we’re supposed to pay the them! I went without eating! I lost 20 lbs!
Not on my dollars.
What about our veterans getting pink slips?
Texas property taxes will go up to pay for this!
