Feds setting up 45-acre tent city to handle migrant surge

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the opening of a large facility in south Texas where migrants will be received and processed as they surge into the United States.

A collection of semi-permanent structures and trailers spanning 160,000 square feet are situated on 45 acres in the frontier city of Donna, just outside McAllen.

“The facility is weatherproof, climate-controlled, and is expected to provide ample areas for eating, sleeping, and personal hygiene,” CBP explained in a statement. “The new facility’s design is a considerable upgrade from previous soft-sided facilities.”

The agency bills the installation as a ‘temporary’ solution while the permanent Centralized Processing Center in McAllen undergoes renovations.

Additionally, the Department of Health and Human Services is reportedly preparing to open another asylum center in Carrizo Springs, Texas, by the end of the month.

Up to 700 illegal alien teens can be held at the ‘hard-sided’ facility, with room for expansion via temporary structures, as well.Get back in the game, jump on our major sale at the store now!

A migration crisis is already exploding at the southern border, just weeks into the Biden presidency.

Former Customs and Border Protection chief Mark Morgan recently warned that over 3,000 illegal aliens are now being captured by border agents on a daily basis.

“I was talking to a Border Patrol leader, a guy that has been doing this for several decades, you know, kind of a tough guy. And he looked at me and said, ‘Commissioner, I got to tell you. I’m scared at what’s coming,’” Morgan said in an interview last week.
