Conditions at a Texas migrant detention center recently toured by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are nothing like what was described by the virtue-signaling Congresswoman, according to the President of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez.
Rodriguez toured the same El Paso County facility as AOC, and said he was “full of indignation” and “shocked at the misinformation” regarding the conditions at border facilities, according to Fox News.
“I read the reports, saw the news clips. I just wanted to see what was actually happening in order to better enable our efforts to find a fair and a just solution to our broken immigration system,” Rodriguez, who has advised presidents Trump, Obama and George W. Bush on immigration reform. “To my surprise, I saw something drastically different from the stories I’ve been hearing in our national discourse. Even as a veteran of immigration advocacy in the U.S., I was shocked at the misinformation of the crisis at the border,” he added.
“We found no soiled diapers, no deplorable conditions and no lack of basic necessities,” said Rodriguez, who said that when he asked border agents if they staged the facility in response to the negative press: “They unequivocally denied it — we were witnessing the identical conditions the attorneys saw when they toured the facility days earlier.”
In fact, some told him the sources from whom the negative coverage originated “never toured the areas of the facility that we toured” and speculated they might have had political motivations.
The pastors left encouraged by the commitment and dedication of America’s Border Patrol and immigration officers, “many of which are Latinos, by the way.” He said one emotional Border Patrol agent turned to him and said, referring to the vilification: “Pastor Sam, what they’re saying about us is completely false. We care about these kids and have a passion for our calling.” –Fox News
NHCLC board member, immigrant and pastor Carlos Moran said “we, as evangelical leaders that serve in different segments, are very committed to helping children regardless of their status and we commend those officers that are trying their very best to serve and fulfill their duty at the border. However, we do call on our political leaders to set aside their personal agendas and begin focusing on resolving this immigration crisis.”

It is beyond deplorable that the government can lie to the citizens without issue but if it is the other way around?
Spot on, ‘snapper.
Where have I seen that position before, let me see. Oh yeah.
I’m right, your wrong, deal with it.
Is anyone around here surprised?
Certainly not.
AOC’s antics are determined by her puppeteers. It’s BS pandering to the idiots on the side of prog-libtards.
That was made clear in the exposure of her handlers who got her elected, along w/ other socialist newbs.
Who’s that dude w/ the weird name Cjenk Ugur, or some hodgepodge of vowels and consonants?
He’s a threat, for sure. So is his team.
Keep shining light on those vampires. Make ’em cringe like Dracula at high noon, outside of his coffin.
Horse teeth wide eyes is a fraud. I know of canines that have more intelligence than this joke of a national Congressman. Yeah, I said it. CongressMAN. Intelligence.
Women? Emotional. “Oh, but the children!!!”
But both, in the halls of power, act like thieving, lying, corrupt assholes.
Very few exceptions to that rule.
Count ’em on the fingers of one or two hands, historically.
List your favorites.
What’s cool, is that sunlight exists, and exposes their charade.
And who better, if this ZH post is in fact true,
than Latinos who had the stones and integrity to check things out in person.
Truth. Expose the propaganda. And hope it doesn’t get memory holed.
You never know when something might go viral, and get past the slim 10% on sites like this, and get passed around other venues, in the quest to reveal the hypocrisy and BS manipulation. The Narratives. Poison.
This was a good counterpoint, to ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, NYT, WaPo, MSNBC, Gaggle News, Fuckerbergs stink, and all the other things that pass for reliable media sources, and unbiased, research journalism.
I liked this one.
Ban I.C.E., Alex?
I say let’s get ICEy HOT, and turn up the heat on the invasion, every way possible.
Come in legally or turn around and go back home.
End of story.
The left straight up owns the right on constructing narrative. Cortez puts together a dog and pony show and criticizes the conditions of the camps (truth is not relevant by the way). That generates a lot of responses from the other side, which argue that the conditions aren’t bad.
So the public discussion becomes framed and focused on the conditions of the facilities. Instead of a discussion on why these people continue to be permitted to illegally enter and remain in the country in the first place.
She is simply playing the “trump lies all the time” routine as her motivation to try to gain publicity.
What the heck is a NY congress critter doing for New Yorkers, creating propaganda on the border?
She will not get re-elected without a serious case a ballot counting fraud, her constituents really wanted that Amazon facility, a lot of folks are disgusted with this horse toothed whore of Babylon for getting that canceled.
Ummmm …. no!
You do not understand the demographics of her district (parts of the Bronx and Queens ), and how goddamned stupid and illiterate those motherfuckers are. Sadly, there are no more Archie Bunkers living in Queens.
Quotable quote if ever there was one! +714 thunbs up!
1st liar is the best liar
The picture below is a SS sink toilet fixture which is typical for what you’ll find in any jail cell in the US. So from what I understand this woman did drink from the toilet but she was told to drink from the sink but when she went to the sink she didn’t know how it functioned and the only water she saw was in the toilet bowl so she drank that water due to her ignorance not because she was told do so.
