KARNES CITY - Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday will open a refurbished detention center three hours north of the Rio Grande Valley.
The Karnes City center will house women and children who entered the country illegally through the Valley.
The 532-bed facility underwent a massive renovation to house women and children. The center housed only adult immigrants in the past.
Immigrants will be at the facility for an average of 23 days.
The feds said the immigrants will be referred to as "residents" and the rooms as "suites." The suites are furnished with flat-screen television sets and landline telephones. The center has a soccer field covered with artificial turf, ping pong tables and a weight room.
A charter school nearby will provide schooling and access to a library for the immigrant children.

It's the suite life for our little friends from South of the Border

By Thomas Lifson

Come to America for the safety, but stay for the amenities. That’s the message being sent to the children of Central America by the new detention center resident center just unveiled in Karnes City, Texas by ICE, which seems to be bursting with pride over the amenities being offered our guests.

“I am pretty sure you will agree this is nothing like we have seen before,” said ICE field office director Enrique Lucero during Thursday’s media tour of the facility.

He’s not kidding. A 29 acre facility has been remodeled at a cost the government refuses to divulge, and every aspect of the esxperioence has been upgraded, shall we say. Flat screen TVs, soccer fields, ping pong, and oh yeah, free dental and medical care. KXAN TV in Austin provides these details:

Previously, the people being held at the facility were called detainees. Now they will be called residents. Guards are now called resident advisors. Even the facility itself will be referred to as a resident center rather than a detention center. (snip)
The amenities do not stop simply at safe. Families will be given a health examination upon arrival along with six sets of fresh clothing for each member. Doctor attention will be available at all times and residents will have access to a dentist.

A friend who is postponing urgent dental care because he can’t afford it sent me this article, and wishes that he had access to a dentist at no cost. I guess he made a mistake being born an American and paying taxes.
The facility is being made “family friendly”:

Even the walls of the center have been painted with many colorful characters and pictures as many children are expected to call it home.
“There will be cartoons playing for children and games of that nature,” said Lucero.
Other amenities include recreational fields, a library, internet access, and a cafeteria which will serve three all-you-can-eat meals a day. Certified teachers will also be on site to provide year-round education and small jobs will also be available paying $3 a day for four hours of work.

But with a straight face, officials claim that this is definitely not meant to be an attraction for more children to risk their lives coming to the paradise that has just been opened for them:

Still, during a press conference after Thursday’s tour, he [Lucero] warned the accommodations should not be motivation for anyone trying to illegally cross the border.
“Do not risk the lives of your children or risk your life. This is a dangerous journey coming to the U.S.,” Lucero said. “The U.S. border is not open to immigration and after your immediate detention and due process, there is every likelihood you will be returned to your home country.”
However, pro bono immigration attorney service will be available on-site according to Lucero and those seeking asylum will have an opportunity to see an immigration judge.
“We need to ensure there is a community of attorneys willing to help with the humanitarian crisis at the border,” said Boston Cote, an attorney offering her services pro bono. “We need a way to ensure the integrity of the system is preserved.”

Sounds like a mixed message to me. Which do you think will have more influence on people in El Salvador – pictures of the facilities or the warning about the dangerous journey?
KRGV TV in San Antonio adds some further details:

The feds said the rooms will be referred to as "suites." The suites are furnished with bunk beds, play tables for children, flat-screen television sets and landline telephones. (snip)
The center has a soccer field covered with artificial turf, basketball courts, ping pong tables and a weight room. Officials also have plans to install a playground.

A charter school from nearby San Antonio will provide schooling and access to a library for the immigrant children.

Wow, access to charter schools! Don’t American kids have to apply and hope they get in, trying to escape failing public schools?
And finally the question we all want answered:

The feds estimate it will cost approximately $74,000 a day to house 532 immigrants at the center. That's an average of $140 a day per person.

Bear in mind, this is an estimate. Remember when it was estimated by the feds that Obamacare would save us money? How many American families, when they take two kids on vacation can afford to spend $280 a day?

Illegal Immigrants Getting 'Suites' at Remodeled Texas ICE Facility

As House Republicans scramble to come up with a last-minute border bill before their August recess, we're now hearing about a reported plan by I.C.E to open a remodeled detention center that will give illegal immigrants "suite" accommodations.

The renovated rooms are meant to house women and children who entered the U.S. illegally through the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.
Here's more on the facility from KRGV-TV in San Antonio:

The 532-bed facility underwent a massive renovation to house women and children. The center housed only adult immigrants in the past.
Immigrants will be at the facility for an average of 23 days.
The feds said the rooms will be referred to as "suites." The suites are furnished with bunk beds, play tables for children, flat-screen television sets and landline telephones.
"I will refer to everyone in this facility as a resident. ICE generally refers to people in custody as detainees," ICE San Antonio Field Office Director Enrique Lucero said.
Lucero oversaw the transformation of the center.
The center has a soccer field covered with artificial turf, basketball courts, ping pong tables and a weight room. Officials also have plans to install a playground.
A charter school from nearby San Antonio will provide schooling and access to a library for the immigrant children.
The immigrants will get medical screenings. Children will receive physicals within 24 hours of arriving at the center and women within a week.
"There is a dentist on site," Lucero said.
There is a room where the immigrants will get to pick new clothes. Every illegal immigrant will be able to choose six sets of clothes, including shoes and socks.
"While residents are here ... we will provide a safe and humane environment," Lucero said.
The feds estimate it will cost approximately $74,000 a day to house 532 immigrants at the center. That's an average of $140 a day per person.
Officials did not disclose how much the government spent to refurbish the center.

Meantime, there is continued speculation that if Congress does not act, President Obama will take executive action to deal with the border crisis. Ann Coulter reacted to all of this on Fox and Friends, saying the one question no one asks on immigration is whether any of the proposed solutions are good for Americans.
She spoke of a dire situation developing in the southern border states because they cannot handle the massive influx of illegal immigrants.
"Schools and hospitals are going bankrupt. Especially throughout southern California. ... It's always senators from states that have one percent of all immigration getting up and telling us about their relatives arriving at Ellis Island. Meanwhile, our phones are melting down from people from southern California because they're being overrun," said Coulter, pointing to cases of tuberculosis and leprosy emerging.
Coulter said she doesn't want any legislation passed until the new Congress comes in after the November midterms.
"If they pass a bill, it goes to conference. If it goes to conference, it could come out [as] amnesty."

Illegals Living Large at Tax Payer Expense in Suites with Flatscreens, Ping Pong, Soccer Fields and Play Areas

Dean Garrison 30 mins ago

ABC 5 in San Antonio is reporting the grand re-opening of a remodeled "detention center" in Karnes City today. The center will include such amenities as flatscreen TVs, an onsite dentist, an artificial turf soccer field, basketball courts, ping pong tables, children's play areas and, of course, all residents will be given six new sets of clothes while they are there.
They are no longer calling them "detainees." Now they call them "residents:"

"I will refer to everyone in this facility as a resident. ICE generally refers to people in custody as detainees," ICE San Antonio Field Office Director Enrique Lucero said.

The 532-bed facility has recently undergone a massive renovation. No numbers are being given as to the cost of that face lift. However, the fact that it took place just serves as further proof that the federal government knew what was about to happen at our southern border and refused to do anything about it.
Though we have no numbers as to the cost of the reconstruction efforts, we are being told that it costs the taxpayers about $140 per day/per person at this facility. Please allow that to soak in for a moment. That is per person and not for an entire family.
My entire family lives on about $140 a day if not a little less. Depending on where you live, this can be a good amount of money. That is $980 a week or just shy of $51,000 a year for each person. Though the average stay is being quoted at 23 days, it still gives you a general idea of the overall cost that taxpayers are being forced to burden.
In a country where half of the wage earners now make less than $27,520 per year, the argument could be made that these people are being treated like royalty. They are certainly being treated better than most of us.
For those of you who are unaware, though this facility is for women and children, it is not just women and children who are getting our tax dollars and there is substantial evidence to prove that. In mid-July, we ran a report and a video showing busloads of illegal immigrant adults (men and women) shopping at a Wal-Mart in North Carolina. If you didn't see that video, you can find it here.

Is this what Obama wants 3.7 billion dollars for?

Once again, the federal government is proving why this country is broke (and very much broken). They do not know how to responsibly budget money like a normal family would be forced to do. That is one of the many reasons that so many families are hurting. Whether this is a "humanitarian" effort or not is still being hotly debated. However, no one has to my knowledge denied that these people are here illegally. So, secure the damn border and send them back, period.
It is the law and hard-working Americans cannot afford anymore mouths to feed. My bleeding heart stops at the point that it effects the comfort and well-being of my own family. Taxpayers understand that. The tax-mongers do not.
The KRGV.com article (San Antonio Channel 5) is one of those must reads in my opinion, there is also a video with the article that I did not have permission to embed here. If it doesn't make you angry to see your tax dollars in action like this, then nothing probably will.
How many of our own children lack the basic necessities being freely given to these kids that aren't even here legally?

On a side note, someone please tell me when it's time to start shooting.
