Florida Democrats describe ‘appalling’ conditions after Alligator Alcatraz tour; Republicans say it’s ‘very well run’

Dozens of men packed into cages, sometimes sharing one functioning toilet. Temperatures reaching the mid-80s. Bugs covering the beds. Detainees crying out to lawmakers for help, one saying he was a citizen.

Several Florida Democratic lawmakers described “appalling” conditions after emerging from their prepared tour of the “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention facility in Florida’s Everglades on Saturday afternoon, days after they had arrived unannounced and been denied access. Meanwhile, Republican State Sen. Blaise Ingoglia said the facility surpassed expectations and the “squalid” conditions reported to the media were not an accurate representation.

The lawmakers gathered in a tent outside of the facility about 2:30 p.m., following their arrivals late Saturday morning. So many lawmakers arrived that they had to tour in groups.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz told reporters she saw cages with 32 men per cage, sharing three toilets as part of a unit with a sink, where they also get their drinking water. Inside of the cages was a three-foot “privacy wall.” The showers had no curtains.

“They are essentially packed into cages,” she said. “Wall-to-wall humans.”

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Golly, Debbie.

Maybe they shouldn't have illegally entered the country and committed crimes, huh? All this could have been avoided.

Should have gone to the hairdresser instead, Deb. It would have been more productive.

That bad tight curl perm has been her trademark for years.  The 70's don't want it back

Just finished my walkthrough of Alligator Alcatraz. Here’s what I saw:  The rhetoric coming from Democrats does not match the reality.   The place is well run, safe, secure, clean and air conditioned.   We reviewed the intake area, medical tent, mess hall, recreation areas and sleeping quarters.   I actually laid down in one of the beds and it was really comfortable.   So, any complaints about squalor conditions is nothing more than bullsh*t and political theater.

If the US got permission to use Buckingham Palace to house illegals, Schultz and her fellow communists would claim in was unfit to live in and the media wouldn't challenge the idea. **nononono*
The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
