Rep Bridenstine has now toured the facility , and is satisfied with the "transparency."
First District Rep. Jim Bridenstine toured the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services juvenile facility at Fort Sill on Saturday, less than two weeks after first being denied entry.
Bridenstine said he was satisfied with the transparency on this tour, but his mission is to secure the border from undocumented immigrants and put an end to human trafficking, an activity he said is encouraged by current policies.
"My opinion is we should reunite them with their families in their home countries," Bridenstine said. "The workers there are taking good care of the children. Ultimately, my objective is to solve this problem because there is human suffering underway."
The facility houses about 1,200 unaccompanied minors detained by immigration officials. Because the minors are not from Mexico or Canada, they are subject to a 2008 law that requires they be turned over to HHS until their status can be determined.
The law’s original purpose was deterring human trafficking....
He has not responded to any of my entreaties, to just let the children go. We've been destroying Latin American society for forty years in the name of the "War on Drugs," so it seems more than a little hypocritical to accuse these children of threatening OUR sovereignty.
Onward and upward,
airforce
