[ cheers and applause ] >> cory booker had the most time to talk, he had 10 minutes of air time. beto o'rourke came in second with just a bit less, followed by elizabeth warren. and you can stay with abc news. there is another round of democrats debating tonight in miami. among those debating is frontrunner former vice president biden, and we of course will have full coverage for you again tomorrow morning. as we just reported, one of the big issues discussed during that debate, the humanitarian crisis at the southern border sparking outrage as congress races to send an emergency llion cktoare r the presidens t unaccompanied children. but it has to be reconciled with the house version of the legislation that includes more restrictions on how the money could be spent. president trump said passing the legislation is urgent, but he blamed democrats for deaths at the border saying they have to change the laws.

abc's matt gutman was allowed inside that texas border facility where children were reportedly housed in inhumane conditions. >> reporter: what we saw are kids who are basically in a holding cell type of situation. it looks like a drunk tank. concrete floors, concrete rooms with hard glass between them and the central area. but we're told that the kids can actually roam, and we did see them roaming around. they do have access sometimes to telephones. they have access to laundry, toothbrushes, soap, showers, anywhere from one to three days. and food. now, i happened to memorize the calorie count of what they get. breakfast, lunch, and dinner. but really it's a very meager existence of food. they get one packet of oatmeal in the morning, 160 calories. a cup of noodle soup, 190 calories. a bean burrito, 330 calories after that, and some snacks in between. so it's not the kind of place you're going to get full on, and that's maybe why we've been hearing complaints about hunger. we've also heard people complaining about kids being

filthy, kids being mistreated. we didn't see any evidence of that specifically. what i mostly saw are kids who are bored out of their minds. customs and border patrol, according to its own rules, wants to keep kids no more than 72 hours in this facility before they release them to i.c.e. or hhs or their parents or somebody. but kids in here have been there for an average of six to ten days. that means there are kids who have been there a lot more than ten days. if they have to seek medical aid, it can be up to 30 days. you can just imagine the absolute boredom. there are no toys inside. they have tvs that are common tvs for the cells that they're in, but they can't basically hear because the tv screens are on the outside of the cell. border patrol says, hey, this is not camp, this is essentially a jail cell. edllegallynto detained for the united states.

could they make it more comfortable? possibly. is it a torture chamber? absolutely not. i'm matt gutman in clint, texas. >> we appreciate matt there for that very descriptive overview. many of you may be asking, why didn't we see inside the facility? cameras are not allowed. matt went and he was among several reporters and journalists who were allowed to go inside. he was able to memorize things about what he saw there. as he mentioned, it's important to know those details. how are these children being treated? get that firsthand account for people and journalists who can hold the government accountable, because we know there have been some deplorable conditions inside there. >> right. that brings me back to, it almost feels like deja vu. remember last summer, both of us working down in washington, d.c. and it was last june that we were seeing the images and hearing that catch phrase at the time, kids in cages. at the same time, we were talking about family separations. there was such a large outcry then. fast forward a year later, we're getting those disturbing, heartwrenching, heartbreaking

images. that father and daughter who drowned. as we're hearing about more deaths along the border. it just shows that this is a crisis that is ongoing and continuing to unfold. thankful we have people like matt who are on the front lines, able to report back what is happening down there. so many people looking for answers. >> there's a political side of this, but again there is that humanitarian side. >> absolutely. >> and we want to point out as well that mexico is trying to do -- take action to stem some of this -- these migrants, the flow of migrants. they actually have a psa in mexico they're airing right now as the world reacts to those heartbreaking images. mexico has launched this psa that says -- warning migrants about the dangers of crossing the river. it actually says, without life there is no future or dream to reach, that message reads in spanish there. >> trying to have us not see any more of those heartbreaking images. moving on, president trump is right now on his way to japan. he stopped off to visit u.s. troops in alaska while air force one refueled.
