MCALLEN, Tex. - Vice President Mike Pence viewed an overcrowded, foul-smelling facility in Texas on Friday where nearly 400 men are detained after being accused of crossing the U.S. border illegally.
The cages were so crowded, according to the reporter, that it would have been impossible for all the men to lie down at the same time. After visiting the facility, Pence said at a news conference that he was not surprised by what he saw.A patrol agent, Michael Banks, said the men were allowed to brush their teeth once a day. “We currently have 88,000 toothbrushes,” he said.
“The facility is overcrowded and our system is overwhelmed. It is time for Democrats in Congress to step, do their jobs, and end this crisis,” Pence wrote on Twitter.
