federal contractors are working overtime to turn this 55,000 warehouse in mcallen, texas, into a holding. cnn obtained the floor plans. each complete with five cells, an isolation area and porta potties. about a thousand detainees will be held here to keep up with the flood of people crossing the border illegally. the private property turned detention center could provide only a measure of relief. the obama administration struggling to deal with the children cross iing the border, many driven here by a misdpieded dream. >> there's no free pass. there are no passes for your children that come to the united states. >> he continues to drive that point home that illegal entry into the united states and not guaranteed. a permanent stay. also the last point about the children in place of the hands of o smugglers, those are the organizations right now that are truly making a killing off of this. major profits, regardless of your age if you cross illegally, you have to pay the protection to the drug cartels to use those established routes. so while u.s. officials see that the major headache and
