Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar both defended the administration's treatment of migrant children at detention centers and lamented the state of the facilities, saying in a Fox News interview on Monday that the centers were "not good conditions for kids to be in."
President Donald Trump and his aides have been on the defensive after numerous reports detailed unsanitary and overcrowded conditions at the detention facilities. Over the weekend, administration officials mostly blamed Democrats, accusing them of holding up a $4.6 billion emergency spending bill that would include $2.88 billion for unaccompanied minors.On Monday, Azar swung between calling the conditions unacceptable to claiming the children are in a “safe, secure environment.
“It was built for single adults coming across back in the '80s, '90s, and 2000s,” Azar said, asserting the immigration detention system was not designed for modern patterns. "It is overwhelmed — these are not good conditions for kids to be in.” Azar then called for a funding bill to be passed soon, and said that otherwise, the detention centers along the southern border will run out of money in July.

Let AlexAzar stay with the children for a week under the same conditions and then ask him!
We know they are not. call him out on this.
No one has said the conditions are perfect. They are however the best they can be given the number of illegals entering and the lack of funds due to the Dems political pandering and refusing to help.
Picklesnova Why is anyone surprised by this. He is trying say only 'light lies' that he thought Trump would like then the video of this DOJ, kiss ass lawyer got fried on twitter. Everyone knows Trump sees this on twitter so tells this spineless HHS SEC to change his story. Trump is the devil
In the age of Trump, who is constantly speaking out of both sides of his mouth at once, I'm not in the least surprised that government officials are doing the same thing.
Azar gave a child rapist a sweetheart deal; he is not someone who can define what is safe and secure for any child.
Be Best!
A bet each way and Azar still can't get it right. CloseTheCamps
If it was his children, would he want them there? Let's send his grandchildren to stay there if it's that safe.
I would bet all the money in the world that the conditions are not nearly as bad as the fake news left wing media is telling everyone.
Come on, Azar, you can't have it both ways. If you can actually defend the conditions at these camps, you don't belong here. soapgate
The real animals are those running these concentration camps!!! And tRUMP & the Repugnant Party pushing it!!!
