Anyone still think the FEMA camps are figments of a conspiracy theorists imagination?? Hundreds of unaccompanied migrant children from Central America have been transported from southern Texas to a makeshift detention center set up by the US Border Patrol in Nogales, Arizona. The number of children held at the center, mostly from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, was expected to rise to more than 1,000 by the end of the weekend. The Border Patrol has apprehended more than 48,000 children traveling on their own crossing the border from Mexico into the Rio Grande Valley of Texas this fiscal year. According to an interagency memo from a Border Patrol official, federal officials expect more than 90,000 minors will attempt to cross into the US without their parents by year’s end. Authorities in Texas say they are overwhelmed by the influx of immigrants and have begun shipping them to Arizona. In a related development in recent weeks, hundreds of undocumented immigrants, mostly women and children, have also been flown from Texas to Arizona and dumped at Greyhound Bus stations, without their belongings or other supplies, to fend for themselves. The children, who are being brought to the Nogales facility in unmarked white passenger buses, have been housed in deplorable conditions. Arizona authorities were working over the weekend to send federal emergency supplies held in Arizona warehouses to the holding center. They expect the facility to be filled nearly to its 1,500 capacity by the beginning of the week.
