CHICAGO — Abner, a 17-year-old Guatemalan boy, vividly recalls the first 48 hours he spent inside the U.S. Border Patrol station in Yuma, Arizona. He was awake for all of them because there was no space to lie down., Abner said the older children would give the 8, 9, and 10-year-olds space to lie down on the floor while they would try to sleep sitting or standing up. With nothing to cover him, Abner would tremble.
Earlier this month, NBC News reported that children held at the Yuma station between April and June had told government case managers about overcrowding and poor conditions,In total Abner spent 11 days from late May to early June in the Yuma border station. He describes them as filled with hunger and thirst, extreme temperatures and fear of the guards manning the facility.
"Sometimes, we would give one [hamburger] to the little ones. Because the little ones were the ones that wanted to eat more than others. At least, [the older kids could] stand the hunger a little more," Abner said.For water, they had only the sink in their cell, and they had no hand soap. They drank from the sink by cupping their unwashed hands.
"Sometimes we would ask what time it was and they would tell us, 'Oh do you have a meeting to go to?' And they would reprimand us on why we were asking," Abner said.

NBCNews Huh. Seems maybe he should've just stayed home rather than illegally storm the border a country of which he's not a citizen.
NBCNews If this is true, that’s sad. A couple things though, how does he have both a sink and unwashed hands? Also, I often drink from the sink in the same way.

NBCNews Now break into China and see what happens.
NBCNews I'm going to go out on a limb that others have probably gone out on, but I haven't seen it: Can a normal American sponsor a child like this? Bring him out of the camp, house him, get him to all his hearings and such? Because this bullshit ain't workin'.
