Exclusive tour of [...]]]> Griff Jenkins’ recent report on the ICE processing center in Adelanto, California for illegal aliens was maddening for the facility’s deluxe features and services. Those benefits include free phones made available so Jose can call home and tell all his relatives how generous Uncle Sucker is with the American taxpayer’s cash.

Exclusive tour of California immigration facility contradicts claims of inhumane conditions, overcrowding, Fox News, By Griff Jenkins, July 26, 2019

A law library. Access to 24-hour health care and mental care. Outdoor soccer fields.

An exclusive look inside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center revealed scenes dramatically at odds with claims the facilities are poorly run and the scenes of misery and overcrowding.

Fox News was given rare access to an immigration detention facility in Adelanto, Calif. Video cameras were allowed inside. The ICE facility, just one of 31 such centers in the U.S., is run by privately contracted company GEO Group.

During a tour led by Thomas Giles, acting director of ICE’s Los Angeles field office, Fox News observed detainees had access to 24-hour health care, dental care, mental health care, unlimited phone calls, legal advice, a law library, physical-contact visitations, outdoor recreation and religious services seven days a week.

However, anyone paying attention to the history of accommodations for America’s invaders wouldn’t be surprised by the luxury which was reported at least as early as 2012.

The Karnes City Texas center was so over the top that in 2012, the House Immigration Subcommittee investigated the $30 million spent on the Karnes facility in a hearing called Holiday on ICE.

Chairman of the full House Judiciary Committee Lamar Smith remarked during the hearing:

Among the new amenities, the Karnes City facility contains a library with free Internet access, cable TV, an indoor gym with basketball courts, soccer fields, and sand, and that is for beach volleyball. Instead of guards, unarmed ‘‘resident advisors’’ patrol the grounds. And the cost of the complex: over $30 million taxpayer dollars. . .

This hearing is entitled, ‘‘Holiday on ICE,’’ because ICE has decided to upgrade accommodations for detained illegal and criminal immigrants. While we would all like to be upgraded, we do not have the luxury of billing American taxpayers or making Federal law enforcement agencies our concierge.

Below, the Karnes Library includes books and the internet in a comfy setting.

Karnes also had racks of free new clothes with the tags still attached for the illegal kiddies.

Greta van Susteren was outraged at the luxury and cost of the facility — $140 per resident daily x 532 detainees = $74,500 per day total:

When the US jail is nicer than the homes of illegal aliens, why would they stop coming? Obviously Americans are rich and generous toward foreigners, even invaders — that’s the encouraging message the aliens are getting from the excessive TLC. Negative reinforcement is needed, not these constant rewards for lawbreaking.

Finally, another reaction to Griff Jenkins’ report came from Sabine Durden, whose son Dominic was killed by a drunk-driving illegal alien with previous arrests. She recognized the facility as the one where her son’s killer was housed in deluxe accommodations.

She also objected to Adelanto’s opulence for lawbreakers, remarking, “They shouldn’t have that kind of luxury. We have American citizens out on the street that wish they could stay there for a weekend. I know this one thing, that illegal aliens whether they get caught or they just sneak in and don’t get caught, it’s a win-win for them. In Adelante they go to Club Med; they get their dental, medical issues taken care of. If they don’t get caught, they work under the table, make tax-free money and send it back — while American citizens don’t have that. It’s not fair: they should have three warm meals and get out of this country, deported swiftly.”

Sabine Durden spoke at Donald Trump’s Republican Convention about victims of illegal alien crime.

A few days ago, Democrat Leader Pelosi remarked, “They’re doing away with children being with their [...]]]> Democrats are in full shriek mode, having found an issue they think they can milk to the max, namely that junior illegal aliens are being separated from their criminal parents by the cruel Trump administration — oh, the horror.

A few days ago, Democrat Leader Pelosi remarked, “They’re doing away with children being with their moms. . . I don’t even know why there aren’t uprisings all over the country.”

Meanwhile, liberals forget that their beloved Obama precipitated a run on the border with his ill-considered invitation to all of Central America a few years ago that caused many child-endangering situations as a result.

Below, parents from Central America imperiled their toddlers by transporting them hundreds of miles across Mexico on the top of a freight train toward the US where they intended to break in as illegal aliens.

As DHS Secretary Nielsen observed a few weeks ago, “In the United States that if you break the law, you go to jail and you’re separated from your family. It shouldn’t be any different for illegal immigrants.”

To that point, around two million American children live apart from an incarcerated parent, but Democrats are not squawking up a storm about citizen separation suffering. Dems express copious sympathy for foreign kids, but it’s just the usual media-focused outrage as the pols hope to turn fake emotion into winning the House in November.

In fact, current housing for alien kiddies is deluxe, same as it was under Obama a few years ago. There was even a Congressional hearing in 2012 titled Holiday on ICE. Still, the quarters weren’t nice enough for some picky invaders, as I blogged in 2015, Freebie America Inadequate for Discriminating Illegal Aliens.

Back then, Fox News host Greta van Susteren raised a howl about the excessive luxury of the accommodations:

Times certainly have changed.

Below, in the Karnes County Texas shelter, illegal alien kiddies were offered an array of free stuff, training them for a life of mooching off US citizens.

The invader strategy du jour is to claim asylum, but former ICE Director Tom Homan recently noted that 80 percent of such claims are rejected, revealing applicants to be plain illegal aliens looking to steal jobs, welfare and other free stuff from American taxpayers.

There was a time when poor people around the world would fight against oppression in their home countries, but now it’s just easier to relocate illegally to somewhere rich and scrounge up a more agreeable lifestyle.

A couple years later, then-Fox-reporter Greta van Susteren was outraged at the luxury in a TV segment about the $30 million Karnes facility in Texas, particularly the cost of $140 per day [...]]]> Back in 2012, Congress held a hearing actually called “Holiday on ICE” to investigate the overly lavish detention of illegal and criminal immigrants.

A couple years later, then-Fox-reporter Greta van Susteren was outraged at the luxury in a TV segment about the $30 million Karnes facility in Texas, particularly the cost of $140 per day per illegal alien inmate.

But that’s nothing compared with today’s palatial digs for illegal kiddies that feature amusement park trips, bowling, a soccer field for the athletic foreigners, even multicultural crayons so little Juan won’t forget his racial identity.

But generous free-to-them goodies for illegal aliens have apparently suffered inflation in the last few years — the daily cost now runs a stunning $670. We accept that the invasive kiddies shouldn’t be traumatized by rustic incarceration, but if junior jail is the Ritz, then they will think America is a source of endless freebies to poor illegal aliens. Immediate deportation would be better from an education viewpoint.

Worse, the American taxpayer is stuck paying for this opulence.

Far from cages: Feds pay $670 a day to make unaccompanied alien children ‘comfortable’, By Stephen Dinan, Washington Times, May 30, 2018

The image of two illegal immigrant children sleeping on the floor in a chain-link fence “cage” swept the internet last weekend, sparking misdirected anger from activists who blamed President Trump for the conditions — which were actually from 2014, when the photo was taken, under President Obama.

Here is another image: illegal immigrant children set up in comfy dormitories, coloring with “multicultural crayons,” watching their favorite soccer teams from back home on the extensive cable system, even kicking the ball around themselves on a beautiful new soccer field — all paid for by taxpayers.

There’s “Spanish language yoga” for those that want it and trips to go bowling, to visit museums and even to hit up the amusement park, at $49 a ticket, also on taxpayers’ tab. The children chow on three meals a day plus snacks, since federal rules say they must be fed “until they are full.”

[. . .]

While the two sides argue over methods and motives, it’s taxpayers who are shelling out to cover the costs.

HHS paid more than $1.4 billion last year to accommodate nearly 41,000 UAC in its shelters. They stayed an average of 41 days, which means taxpayers paid about $670 a day for each child. The cost of holding someone in a federal prison — a comparison some immigration activists make to the UAC situation — is just $85 a day.

The causes of the higher costs for the children become clear from an examination of the contract documents describing UAC dormitories.

The Washington Times submitted open-records requests in 2014 for the documents, when the Obama administration was first grappling with a surge of UAC. The records were provided in March.
