[quote=Anonymous][quote]he feds said the rooms will be referred to as [b]"suites.[/b]" The suites are furnished with bunk beds, play tables for children, [b]flat-screen television sets and landline telephones.[/b]

"I will refer to everyone in this facility as a resident. ICE generally refers to people in custody as detainees," ICE San Antonio Field Office Director Enrique Lucero said.

Lucero oversaw the transformation of the center.

The center has a [b]soccer field covered with artificial turf, basketball courts, ping pong tables and a weight room[/b]. Officials also have plans to install a [b]playground[/b].

A [b]charter school from nearby San Antonio will provide schooling[/b] and access to a library for the immigrant children.

The immigrants will get [b]medical screenings[/b]. Children will receive physicals within 24 hours of arriving at the center and women within a week.

"There is a [b]dentist on site[/b]," Lucero said.

There is a [b]room where the immigrants will get to pick new clothes[/b]. Every illegal immigrant will be able to choose [b]six sets of clothes, including shoes and socks[/b].

"While residents are here ... we will [b]provide a safe and humane environment[/b]," Lucero said.

The feds estimate it will cost approximately $74,000 a day to house 532 immigrants at the center. That's an average of $140 a day per person.

Once again, why are we treating illegal immigrants better than our own homeless population?  A dentist on site?  Six sets of new clothes?  Turf soccer field?  Basketball courts?  Ping pong tables?  Weight room?  No wonder homeless advocates have been up in arms about the crisis at the border.  [/quote]
