after seeing the overcrowd and unsanitary conditions at mcallen, dawsey asked pence afterwards if he was okay with what he had said on the first two times, he didn't directly say yes or no and said he kperkted to see it and wasn't surprised he later said he was not okay with it because he was trying to fix the system tonight the vice president tweeted this response. the dhs facility in mcallen is a prime example of why we need to secure our borders the facility is overcrowd and our system is overwhelmed. it is time for democrats in congress to step up and do their jobs and end this crisis the shocking pictures coming hours after the house oversight committee held a hearing about the appalling conditions for migrant adults and children at the southern border that the trump administration tried to dismiss as unsubstantiated several democrats who visited last week testified what they saw including freshman democratic congresswoman, alexandria ocasio-cortez >> this is a manufactured crisis because cruelty is manufactured. this is a manufactured crisis because there is no need for us to d

let me give you a stat that i learned in mcallen two weeks ago. in 2014, single adult males coming into the country illegally, 2% ha. ki today 50% of them single adult males ar coming with children. i'll give you a really chilling statistic. the rio grande valley sector they did a pilot test ofid r dna, of folks presenting as a family unit. nearly 30% of those tested were found to be fraudulent family units, which means thedults were with kids they weren't related to. and we're seeing little girls, little boys being subject to abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse. children being rented out by the cartels. this is horrific. and the critical point, margaret, is it is congress' fault. we could fix this tomorrow, but the democrats in congress won't close the loopholes andix it. >> first, so if you could draft the flores agreement, what would it bte >> i have dr that. i filed legislation. >> which is a bill that would keep families >> yes. r? >> but do you still believe families should be prosecuted? all iroividuals who the border illegally should be pr

half of the 8,000 detainees in custody in mcallen were held longer than the 72 hours which is required under law. one-third of the children were also held longer than the law allows. dhs officials say they're doing the best they can with the resources they have. but to democratic lawmakers, some who visited the southern border this week, it's simply not enough. dave, michelle? >> thanks. >>> florida congressman frederica wilson claims when democrats toured a migrant detention center in south florida tuesday they were only permitted to see a single classroom and an empty dorm along with supplies like soap and toothpaste. that's where the access ended. >> i asked to see the girls. there are 700 girls in this facility. i saw 30. when i tried to go into the dormitory that houses the girls, they said to me they were anyone take -- they were in intake and it might be dangerous. >> madeleine dean of pennsylvania became emotional when describing a meeting with detained migrant children. she said members of the group shout that they were members of congress who were there to help. >> you know w

it's in between mcallen and brownsville. and, again, this is in the middle of a normal american neighborhood. this facility is right next door to an olive garden and a longhorn steakhouse and there is a lowe's home improvement right there on the same side of the street, next to the local police station, across the street from a super 8 motel. these are the conditions inside that facility in america. this is not like an overcrowded waiting room where people are parked for an hour or two before they're processed and moved on. this isn't a waiting area. this is housing. this is the living conditions as provided by the u.s. government. as provided on an indefinite basis for days, for weeks, for more than a month, even for these little kids. it's not like this is a room where they hang out and then they go to the room where they sleep. this is it. legally the u.s. government cannot detain kids specifically longer than 72 hours before it needs to move them out somewhere else, but in this case it's just holding on to them. the insp

that's not true. 63 different countries just around mcallen, texas. you see the cartels sort them by country and background check. they send indians in one direction, they send pakistanis in another direction and they send folks from honduras and guam in -- guatemala in another direction. when i walked into one of the stations to do a quick pop in to see who was there, at that moment half the adults that there were there -- this is single adults, half were from venezuela, half were from cuba. that's how the cartels sort the individuals. we had individuals from that one station in mcallen from pakistan, yemen, china, venezuela, bangladesh, syria, in addition to many countries from africa and asia and obviously much of central america as well. those individuals are moving coups the border -- across the borders in high numbers. 90% of the apprehensions have been from other countries other than mexico. and just as recently when it was just 2014, only 1% of the men who crossed the border had a child with them, now the number is 50% of the men crossing the

this is what vice president mike pence saw in a visit to a detention facility in mcallen, texas.alists inside described a stench and said men had tears in their eyes. >> we are not a terrorist. >> reporter: earlier the vice president visited a new facility built two months ago in texas that appears cleaner. >> are you comfortable, are you being well taken care of? >> i couldn't be more impressed at the passionate work our detention facility is doing at this facility. >> reporter: a prime example of why we need to secure our borders. the facility is overcrowded. coming on the eve of mass immigration raids. >> people come into our country illegally, we're taking them out legally. it's very simple. >> reporter: the raids cancelled last month after plans were leaked to the media target at least 2,000 undocumented immigrants in ten major cities, this coulding chica including chicago, miami, new york, here in los angeles. the operation is aimed at immigrants under court orders to leave the u.s. >> are your friends afraid, are your colleagues afraid, is your community afraid? >> i'm afr

mike pence was in mcallen, texas. and the pool reporter assigned to be traveling with the vice president, in this case was josh dawsey from "the washington post." he was accompanying the vice president. he was assigned the responsibility to be the pool reporter, writing up what happened and what th vice president does and saw. this is the pool reporter that josh just filed. after negotiating with the vice president's office, pool was taken into an outdoor portal at the mcallen border station around 5:00 p.m. where almost 400 men were in caged fences with no cots the stench was horrendous. the cages were so crowded that it would have been impossible for all of the men to lie on the concrete there were 384 single men who allegedly crossed border illegally. there were no mats or pillows. some of the men were sleeping on concrete when the men saw the press arrive, they began shouting and wanted to tell us they have been in there 40 days or longer the men said they were hungry and wanted to brush their teeth. it was swelte

this is what he saw in mcallen, texas.n packed in cages where some said they had been detained for more than 40 days and the stench was reportedly horrendous. the vice president blaming democrats, saying they have refused to find additional bed space. >> what you saw today was that the facility here in mcallen is overwhelmed. i wouldn't take the word of people being contained here in mcallen for how they're being treated, but i'm very confident that they're being provided with shelter and water and food and access to health care and access to hygiene. >> and in this last hour, i asked democratic congressman lloyd doggett when would detention centers start to receive some of the $4.6 billion that democrats have approved for financial aid? >> i'm concerned that the money for toothbrushes and soap will be diverted to deportation. they have no excuse now. they got a blank check, essentially, for this additional amount of money that they sought. they need to be relieving these conditions, and to blame congress after they got wh

and i want to show, because the reporters were able to take pictures of the mcallen, texas center that you visit visited the vice president up on the screen. almost 400 men were in caged fences with no cots, the smell wasor horrendous, some of the mn were sleeping on concrete, they began shouting and wanted to tell us they had been in there 40 days or longer. i understand -- >> i was right there. >> i understand that president trump is t trying to stop the flood of people across-the-board er which contributes. >> and we accommodate those who are here. >> which contributes to the overcrowding but how does it help for the president to minimize the situation and say that it's much better than what they had or for vice president pence and kevin corke to say they were all being well-treated when your own, i mean you can look at the conditions there, it's a disaster. >> let me just say a couple things that are facts. first of all not every facility is the same, and so -- >> but i'm talking about that one. >> i'm talking aunt the one who the mediacom pleatly ignored in all of their coverage a

there were more out in mcallen, texas.is is people wanting to see for themselves what is going on to square with what the vice president said in terms of can you believe your lying eyes in terms of the video that emerged from that trip. >> let's talk about the latest reporting about that wilber ross could be the next piece to fall in the trump administration. there was reports a while back that president trump didn't like that ross would fall asleep in cabinet meetings. what has been the take here? >> every time wilber ross comes up as being on thin ice, i go back to the can of campbell soup. he seems to be a person who has more lives than anyone else in this adm administration. i think the reporting is reasonable to think he probably has a longer tenure now that the labor secretary is departing rather than there being too much chaos all at once. for sure mcconal and others don't want another nominee. i would imagine that ross may have more lives. by the time this show is over, there may be a tweet from president trump tha

we're here at the mcallen border station. it's the busiest there is, right?right. >> o'donnell: how is it that they just got shower units last week? >> so, that's been a result of lack of funding-- not to provide all of the services that we'd like to provide. we prioritize children, obviously. we prioritize families second. and single adults are the third to get that kind of humanitarian support. >> o'donnell: so you're blaming some of the past conditions on congress's lack of funding? >> it's been a critical issue. >> o'donnell: mcaleenan says the solution is this so-called tent city, named "donna," which is expanding. he says it is far better suited to house new migrants. >> it just provides a lot more capacity. the big challenge of the overcrowding is, people are uncomfortable because there are too many in small areas. we'll be able to reduce that. >> o'donnell: and those facilities possible because of the $4.6 billion supplemental that was approved. now, many migrants come to america illegally because entering as a legal asylum seeker is getting more diff

principally in mcallen and weslico, texas. what is clear from images emerging is how overcrowded the facilities are. in some cases, migrants don't have enough room to lay down comfortably on the concrete. according to inspectors in this report, the conditions in these facilities are so dangerous they pose a health and safety risk not just to the agents but also to the migrants in custody. here's some other things that stand out from the report. half of the 8,000 detainees in custody in mcallen were held longer than the 72 hours which is required under law. one-third of the children were also held longer than the law allows. we heard from dhs officials who say they're doing the best they can with the resources they have. but to democratic lawmakers, some who visited the southern border this week, it's simply not enough. dave, michelle? >> okay. thanks. >>> florida congresswoman frederica wilson claims when democrats toured a migrant detention center in south florida tuesday they were only permitted to see a single classroom, an

senator: in mcallen? mr. morgan: yes, sir. senator: so i think that congress has got a pretty obvious choice, which is, one, how to deal with the media crisis, provide ice beds, judges, expedite the processes as much as you can, take away further ability for traffickers to walk in and say, if you walk in, you get in, otherwise this continues, and secondly, look at the root causes. that includes our asylum a system -- our asylum system. some are having people interested in processing people in their own country. or in a third country. the u.n. doesn't all of the world and they have four or five. they have one in mexico, and that's and makes a lot of sense. it is the same criteria. and then with the germans stacked about in terms of expediting the processing, her operation safe return, -- operation safe return, and providing aid to these countries because we have spent a lot of tax dollars in these countries and the result has not been impressive in terms of the socioeconomic conditions and the great poverty. there is no questio

now last year, when i traveled to brownsville in mcallen, texas, i saw the horrors. i saw children sleeping on concrete floors. this is cruel and inhumane and i wrote a letter to the united nationses to send oibers to report on these treatments. i ask unanimous consent to insert my letter into the record. the chair: the request will be covered by germ leave. ms. lee: it is our responsibility. the chair: the gentlelady's time has expired. ms. lee: may i have another 308 seconds? ms. lee: it's our responsibility to protect the health and safety of individuals in c.b.p. custody and we have failed. by passing this bill we are putting protections in place to make sure their well-being and health is a priority. we can no longer individuals to suffer the abuse or die unt c.b.p. our values demand we protect adults and children seeking a safe haven in america. i urge my colleagues to vote yes and i thank you for giving us a chance to do the right thing. the chair: the gentlelady reserves. >> i reserve. ms. lofgren: i would yield now to the gentleman from texas, mr. castro, on

so much more ahead on all of those topics but we begin tonight with this breaking news out of mcallen, texas and the images just into us tonight are rather incredible. they show mike pence, the vice president, the man in black flanked by lindsey graham among others looking at men who are just feet away from them inside a chain linked cage and in plain english, it's what -- if it looks like this when the feds know they are coming, what must it be like in other facilities and about these conditions, washington post report er way co accompanied the dellation and most importantly, he supplied this description as the designated pool reporter on the scene filing news back for reporters in washington and we quote. almost 400 men were in caged fences with no cots. the stench was horrendous. the cages were so crowded that it would have been impossible for all of the men to lie on the concrete there were 384 single men in the portal who allegedly crossed the border illegally there were no mats or pillows, some of the men were sleeping on concrete when the men saw the press arrive, they began sh

according to "the washington post," when reporters toured the mcallen facility before the vice president, the men being detained screamed that they had been held there for 40 days or longer in some cases. they said they were hungry, and they wanted to brush their teeth. the post says it was sweltering hot but the only water was outside the fences and the men needed to ask permission from the border patrol agents to actually take a drink. now, during his stop at that facility, a little bit later, the vice president witnessed hundreds of men crammed behind caged fences or packed in cells h. he spoke with reporters after the tour, describing what he witnessed. watch this. >> did you talk to any of the adult migrants, you talked to children and mothers, did you talk to the adult migrants? >> i did. >> and what did they tell you? i asked them about their care. >> here, i'm talking about here. they said they were taken care of. >> i didn't have the opportunity to speak directly given the nature of this facility. >> okay. >> but we all saw, this facility is overcrowded. i was told by the secret
