4,000 Children Packed Into Cages In Facility Designed for 250
[FoxNews] Republican senators on Friday released shocking pictures of migrants and children packed into border facilities as they railed against what they called a border crisis of President Biden’s own creation.

"This is inhumane, it is wrong and it is the direct consequence of policy decisions by the Biden administration to stop building the wall, to return to catch-and-release, and to end the stay-in-Mexico policy," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said in a press conference.

The 19-person delegation, led by Sens. Cruz and John Cornyn, R-Texas, toured a facility in Donna, where migrants have been packed into facilities designed for many fewer migrants. Cruz told reporters that the facility designed for 250 migrants had nearly 4000.

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., released images of babies he said had been handed over by child smugglers.

He also said that the Donna facility had a 10 percent COVID-positivity rate, much higher than the U.S. average.

Senators who spoke to Border Patrol and other officials said that authorities were "overwhelmed" by the numbers -- something that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has also said.

#1 You are looking at this all wrong. Under the Trump administration you had 250 migrants (aka illegal aliens) in a cage for 250. This gives you a migrant/storage ration of 1.0.

The Biden-Harris-CCP administration has some 4000 migrants in a cage for 250, giving a migrant storage ratio ~16.0.

Clearly the Biden-CCP-Harris administration is more efficient and making better use of your tax dollars. You just need to look at it from the right angle. And maybe squint a bit.
