Border Patrol chief Carla Provost said on Thursday that she’s “extremely offended” that anyone would call the migrant detention centers at the southern border “concentration camps.”
During a House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Rep. Michael Guest (R-MS) asked Provost to comment on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) calling the centers “concentration camps.”
Provost claimed that her agents are “doing the best that they can” and that they were doing things like “feeding babies.”
“They are doing–going above and beyond, day in and day out, to try to care for these individuals to the best of their ability, and this is not what they were trained or signed up for to do,” Provost said. “So I am extremely offended by those comments.”
The Department of Homeland Security inspector general has released scathing reports detailing the squalid and borderline dangerous conditions at several of the detention centers.

So fine. He can send his own children ro those wonderful vacation camps.
Noting that while historial concentration camps deliberately tried to kill their inmates, the migrant detention centers overseen on the border do so only by incompetence or negligence.
It is only a couple of steps from the manner in which the people in these camps are being treated to the “final solution” and I doubt you can see that or would do anything to stop it.
“…that we ripped from their mothers’ breasts…”
“…and put in dogcages…”
“…before deporting their parents…”
“…seven of which have died…”
“…so far…”
It’s Summer break and kids need supervision while their parents are at work.
Since tRump supporters think so highly of them, let’s start a gofundme to send their kids to these wonderful holiday camps.
