The human toll of President Joe Biden’s failed border policies is staggering as a report claims on child migrant center in Texas is at 729 percent capacity while children are forced to sleep on the floor.
Biden, who Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador recently called the “migrant president,” account to Reuters, has taken what was a stable region on the border under former President Donald Trump and transformed it into an outright humanitarian crisis.

Neha Desai, a lawyer representing migrant youth in U.S. government custody, said she interviewed children who said they were hungry, as well as minors who only showered once in seven days.
"Some of the boys said that conditions were so overcrowded that they had to take turns sleeping on the floor," Desai added, citing interviews with nearly a dozen unaccompanied migrant children held at the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) holding facility in Donna, Texas.
On March 2, the Donna complex was holding more than 1,800 people — 729% of its pandemic-era capacity, which is designed for 250 migrants, according to an internal CBP document reviewed by CBS News.
Most of the minors said they had only showered once while in U.S. custody, even though they'd been held for more than five days, according to Desai. Some said they had showered twice.
"They all said they wanted to shower more and were told they couldn't," Desai said
You guys are always being lazy, using the "source" as your entire argument, when the story is easily verifiable by other sources with a quick google search. Maybe next time, put in a minor amount of effort to see if the story is true before completely dismissing the story because of "the source".
"DHS Asking For Staff To Volunteer To Assist At Border As Crisis Overwhelms Law Enforcement"
"The Department of Homeland Security admitted on Wednesday that there is now a desperate need for additional assistance to handle an influx of asylum seekers and, particularly, unaccompanied minors who are jumping the border in record numbers."
"“This situation mandates immediate action to protect the life and safety of federal personnel and the aliens in custody,” Michael W. Meade, the acting assistant director for Field Operations at ICE, wrote in the email sent late Thursday. "
"In February 2021, CBP encountered 100,441 persons attempting entry along the Southwest border. This total represented a 28 percent increase over January 2021. "
I don't have a picture, but DHS sent out an SOS for help. There are so many people, especially unaccompanied minors, they need help right away. The numbers are going up dramatically since January 2021.

Kudos to you two for finally coming out to claim that your msm and Biden* are deceptive and fake.
The kids having to sleep on the floor due to severe overcrowding came from the kids lawyers, who got it from the kids themselves, well, those that they were allowed to talk to anyway. Those lawyers are also mad that the Biden* administration has been making it difficult for them to even talk to the kids and is refusing to allow them into the facilities....what's Biden* trying to hide that he won't even let these kids see the lawyers?
San Diego is putting them into hotels. Don't know what Texas is doing.
Mexico has stopped accepting deportations involving children so they have to stay in the US now.

President Biden’s first immigration crisis has already begun as thousands of families have surged toward the southwestern border in recent weeks, propelled by expectations of a friendlier reception and by a change in Mexican policy that makes it harder for the United States to expel some of the migrants.

“There has been a significant increase in asylum seekers arriving, and we know that the numbers are only going to keep rising dramatically,” said Kate Clark, senior director for immigration services at Jewish Family Service of San Diego, which has been providing the families clothes and personal hygiene items and helping them arrange onward travel.
