WASHINGTON (CNN) - A top immigration official on Tuesday said family detention centers are "more like summer camp" than a jail during a congressional hearing on the administration's efforts to reunite thousands of immigrant families separated as a result of its zero-tolerance immigration policy.

Asked at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to describe the so-called family residential centers where kids and parents are held, Matthew Albence, the head of enforcement and removal operations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, made the comparison of the detention centers to a summer camp.

I taught for over 20 years in secure residential facilities and over those years had one student from Mejico.  She used to berate the American kids, telling them they didn't know how good they had it.  A bed to sleep in, security, 3 meals a day, running water, electricity, TV, etc.  Any kid from Mejico who complains about the living conditions  while in U.S. custody has probably been trained to complain and told what to say.
