MCALLEN, Texas - Reuters photos taken on Wednesday show adults and children outside the U.S. Border Patrol station for migrants in McAllen, Texas, sleeping on the ground and rigging up makeshift awnings with reflective blankets to shelter from the sun.

During her May 8 testimony to a U.S. Senate committee, Provost said the agency faced an “unprecedented border security and humanitarian crisis” as Central American migrant families headed north and apprehension numbers went “off the charts.” The Border Patrol did not immediately respond to a specific question on why migrants were being held in makeshift conditions by the McAllen Border Patrol station.

Doesn’t look any different than California, except they have awnings which a lot of people here,don’t have that luxury.

Does anyone wonder why they continue to cross into the U.S. if they know about the wretched conditions they and their children will endure? They are permitted to claim asylum in Mexico since they are already there. Perhaps, is not reporting the truth...hmmm....

AmyAyers16 So ashamed

Send them back and problem is gone.

You want these people touching your food? realDonaldTrump

Their very own country is to blame.

Someone please explain to me why this is the fault of the US rather than the fault of Mexico.

Welcome to the promiseland, those of you who are tired, poor, those of you who are yearning to breathe free, you, who are considered wretched refuse of your teeming shores, you who are homeless, the lamp beside the golden door has vanquished courtesy of Donald J Trump.

Too bad.

The net result of Democrats encouraging illegal immigrants with promises of sanctuary and free stuff is a never-ending exodus from South America.. Literally never ending.

Too bad,may the good Lord grant you in every situation you go through.

This is a disgrace to the United States of America.

No one cares! Go home!

I'm sorry Alabama, I couldn't hear your speech about personhood and the value of human life over the sound of toddlers wailing for their parents at the border. What's that? You love kids?

Texas officer fatally shoots woman after struggle over TaserA Texas police officer fatally shoots a woman moments after she seems to say 'I'm pregnant' in an altercation captured on video. The woman allegedly grabbed the officer's stun gun and used it against him. That's awful but grabbing a weapon from an officer is pretty much indefensible in terms of wanting to not be shot. Where are my pro life people? Ready to work together about police violence? All she had to do was comply with the officer and she would be alive right now. So simple.
