Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz Tours Alligator Alcatraz, Says They're Living in Cages

Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is a Democrat, so she doesn't recognize any kind of border. So, of course she was shocked to see that illegal alien detainees at Alligator Alcatraz are "living in cages" — cages in which the air conditioning is set too low. She does know that President Barack Obama built the cages that made Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cry once Donald Trump was elected. Suddenly, keeping illegal immigrants in cages was a bad thing.

First, the residents of Alligator Alley are illegal aliens. They're not in cages, but there is fencing around the cots. There's also a fence around the perimeter. The idea is to keep these detainees detained. They're not supposed to be running around free while in the country illegally.

Don't worry … they won't be there long. They're being processed and sent home as quickly as possible.

Well, that’s how prisons work.

They’re not “living in cages,” they’re temporarily locked up until they are deported.

Fixed it for you, deb.

She has a point. Why can't we just send them straight home?

I mean, we could just drop them in the Everglades without housing.

Just finished my walkthrough of Alligator Alcatraz. Here’s what I saw:

The rhetoric coming from Democrats does not match the reality.

The place is well run, safe, secure, clean and air conditioned.

We reviewed the intake area, medical tent, mess hall, recreation areas and…

The post continues:

… sleeping quarters.
I actually laid down in one of the beds and it was really comfortable.
So, any complaints about squalor conditions is nothing more than bullsh*t and political theater.

Political theater indeed. It's an ICE detention facility. People who shouldn't be in the country are detained there.

Plus, the cages keep the alligators out.

Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
