My colleague Bob Hoge reported on some of the comments that Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) made during her visit to "Alligator Alcatraz." She was shocked that people held in detention were held in - wait for it - cages.

As Bob explained, what does she think a detention center/prison/jail is? It's not the Ritz. It's an enclosed barracks set up.

But she wasn't at all concerned with the conditions under Joe Biden when illegal aliens were held in worse conditions and yes, in cages.
This was how they were held under Joe Biden at one point as he allowed people to flood across the border. People crowded into a detention area, sitting on the ground, in very hot Ajo, Arizona in 2023.
Right now in Ajo AZ Sector for the Border Patrol. Hundreds in custody on top of what was caught last night. Already getting reports of large numbers crossing and Border Patrol trying to respond. They are overwhelmed and this administration

One of the problems that President Donald Trump solved. So of course, the Democrats are complaining.
But one of the other things she said had people laughing their heads off at her.
Oh, my gosh, Debbie wants us to know, "They brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit."

Many let her know most people "brush their teeth where they poop" in greater or lesser degrees of luxury. They reminded her this is common in those places called bathrooms.

It is both funny and a bit concerning that she didn't seem to understand that a sink/toilet combination unit is common in prisons/detention centers. Didn't she care when American citizens in prisons had such a set-up? Why is she suddenly concerned about this now, with illegal aliens? Yet she wants to propound on such things.

Again, how is this much different from many bathrooms?
Distance A: Perfectly normal sink-to-commode distance.

Distance B: Slightly closer distance, typical of prison toilets but clearly a genocidal war crime worse than 9/11.

Of course, the answer to all this craziness is that whatever the issue, it's bad under Trump even if there's nothing wrong with it. Even if it existed under Biden and the Democrats didn't care.
It's why no one trusts anything the Democrats have to say anymore.
Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
