The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is welcoming members of Congress and their senior staff to tour a temporary shelter being used to house illegal immigrant children — but the invite comes with a list of rules, including a suggestion that members leave their cellphones in their vehicles.

The tours are meant to give members and staffers an inside look at how temporary facilities are being used to house illegal immigrant children who came to the U.S. without their parents. The minors, who hail mostly from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, are being called “Unaccompanied Children,” or UACs. Read more: dailycaller.com...

It’s just chain-link cells 20-feet tall with razor wire around them, this is inside a warehouse.
They are probably 50 by 100 [feet] and there’s probably 10 or 11 of these big cages like that and so there’s
probably 100-200 aliens in each cell, or cage and there’s just park benches right down the middle, two rows
of park benches and then they give them these little rubber mats, a little foam pad to lay on. We don’t have
enough blankets so they’re issuing out those foil blankets, it’s like a piece of tin foil and that’s all they get.
There are so many people crammed. The smell is just horrendous, horrendous.”

A highly profitable industry is found behind the Temporary Detention Centres for migrants (CIEs) in Spain and everywhere in Europe. From the companies building the facilities or providing catering services and health care, to the airline companies engaged in the assisted deportations of undocumented migrants. It often happens that executives of these companies also hold positions in decision-making bodies concerned with immigration issues or in powerful lobbies, thus putting themselves in a position to influence public policies in favour of their companies.
CIEs – Temporary Detention Centres for migrants

In Spain there are currently eight CIEs for undocumented migrants under the process of deportation. One would assume that, if a deportation is impossible, the detention, making no sense, would be stopped. However, according to Martínez Escamilla’s survey in the book “Women in Detention Centres”, in 2011 only 48% of people held in CIEs were eventually deported.

Yeah it is.
Maybe a political calculation that back fired on the admin.
Lots of those lately.

These tactics are so reminiscent of old Soviet-style behavior.
