We then went on midnight patrol with them, we went out into the field and we saw just a stream of illegal immigrants coming into this country. Caravans walking up the trails that go north from the Rio Grande River into outdoor holding pens where the Customs and Border Patrol was processing them. We saw children, we saw three different nursing mothers in one of the outdoor pens, sitting on the ground, nursing infant children. ... The next day we went to the Donna facility. Donna is a gigantic tent city that they built to handle this massive crisis, this massive surge of illegal immigration. Its capacity with Covid constraints is 250 people. There are over 4,000 people crammed into Donna. They are not six feet apart or three feet apart, they're not even six inches apart.More Related News
