This is literally like deja vu all over again, a complete repeat of what happened in 2014. breitbart.com/border/2021/02…
So many illegal aliens were coming across the border that ICE was running out of places to house them. That was when DHS flew hundreds of them to CA and bussed them to Murrieta. The small town stood up and turned the buses away.
When agents have to take these people to other facilities, especially those that are further north from the border, this isn't just terrible immigration policy, it's inhumane. Most of the more northern facilities are used for holding drug traffickers.
The big reason this is an issue: hygiene. A facility like Murrieta is used to hold offenders for a short period of time. There's a few metal benches and a toilet. There are no showers. There are no beds. There's issues of disease even in non-COVID times. This makes it worse.
If Democrats want to be pissed off about pictures of kids in cages from 2014, I hope they're pissed off about this too. Because it's terrible policy. Not to mention catch and release means even MORE people will flock to the US while we're in the middle of a pandemic.
This is no longer just an issue in border towns and border states. It can and WILL move further north.
