June 26, 2021 Editorial By Englebrook Independent News,
Washington, DC.- In June and July 2019, U.S. House Representative Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez (D-NY.), made her debut performance along the Texas-Mexico Border, accompanied by fellow Democratic Lawmakers. With crocodile tears, and even throwing herself against fence,she harshly criticizing Former President Trump's Immigration Policies as Barbaric and Inhumane.
It should be noted that the fence she threw herself against was a fence that faced a empty parking lot, turning out to be nothing more than a staged photo op.
During an Academy Award winning Live Instagram video in June 2019 Ocasio-Cortez said, " The United States is running Concentration Camps on our southern border and that is exactly what they are."
Sitting in her apartment, the then freshman Congresswoman criticized border facilities that housed undocumented migrants who had crossed into The United States, while they were waiting to be processed. Images during that time showed children some migrant children sleeping under foil blankets. Many of them she said were being held in cages and many outdoors.
" I want to talk to the people that are concerned enough with humanity to say that ' never again' means something," Ocasio-Cortez continued in that video. " The fact is that Concentration Camps are now an institutional process practice in ' the home of the free' is very disturbing and we need to do something about it."
Further in her 2019 video, Ocasio-Cortez said the issue is not just about immigrants: " This is a crisis for ourselves. This is a crisis if America will remain America in it's actual principles and values. Or if we are losing to an authoritarian or fascist Presidency," she said.
" I don't use those words lightly. I don't use those words to just throw bombs. I use that word that is what an administration that creates concentration camps is, " she continued, " A Presidency that creates concentration camps is fascist, and it's very difficult to say that."
Since being elected to The U.S. House of Representatives, the only factual statement she has ever made is what she put forth in the video, "the issue is not just about immigrants." She's right, it's not about the migrants It is about Ocasio-Cortez and her band Democratic Socialists in efforts to undermine our democracy.
Fast forward to June 2021, Where is Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, as thousands of unaccompanied migrant children are being subjected to inhumane conditions, created by The Biden Administration. Why isn't Ocasio-Cortez throwing herself against fences at The Fort Bliss Tent City, which was built by the Biden Administration, where kids are being abused, where is she with the likes of CNN and other Media Reporters. I think we all know why she's not there.
As reported this week by BBC News and CBS News, at The U.S. Detention Center in the Texas desert, have been living in alarming conditions. Where disease is rampant, food can be dangerous, and there have been reports of sexual abuse.
The tented camp in The Fort Bliss military base in El Paso, Texas is the home of 2000 unaccompanied children who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border alone and are waiting to be united with family or sponsors in The United States.
Findings from a BBC Investigation uncovered allegations of Sexual Abuse, Covid and Lice Outbreaks, a child waiting hours for medical attention, a lack of clean clothing, and hungry children being served undercooked meat.
The Fort Bliss camp consists of at least 12 tents, some of which house hundreds of children at a time. The children spend most of their day in the tents, getting out for an hour or two of recreation, or to line up with hundreds of others for a meal.
A 15-year-old who has been released said he was fed uncooked meat. " Sometimes the chicken had blood, the meat was very red. We couldn't stand our hunger and we ate it, but we got sick from it."
A number of tents have also been set up just to accommodate the large numbers of sick children- the children have named it " Covid City." "Hundreds of children have tested positive for Covid," one employee told BBC, but asked to remain anonymous because staff are banned from speaking about the camp.
In addition to Covid, outbreaks of the flu and strep throat have been reported since the camp opened in late March. Some children in need of urgent medical attention have been neglected. The 15-year-old who spoke with BBC, was released last month after spending 38 days in detention. Said he caught Covid-19 shortly after arriving at the camp, and became seriously ill. After he recovered, he was sent back to live in a crowded tent and became ill again.
" When we went to ask for medicine they gave us dirty looks, and they always laughed among themselves," said the boy.
Children tell of neglect, filth, and fear while living the U.S. Camps. " Lice has been rampant," an employee told a reporter. "And one of the major shortages has been lice kits." Staff said a tent of around 800 girls was locked down last month because of lice.
Although showers are offered, many children don't want to take a shower because they have no clean clothes to change into. There is a shortage of underwear, other clothing items, and shoes in the camp, according to employees.
" It's heartbreaking to hear their stories and to plainly see them suffering and to hear the same kind of complaints over and over about things that could be corrected easily," said a staff member.
" After a child has been here for a few days' ' they say you have to get me out of here as soon as possible, I just can't take it anymore, " he added. " They feel like they are in prison."
There are reports of staff sexually abusing children at The Fort Bliss Camp. At a camp training session, recorded by a staff member and shared with BBC, an employee voiced concerns, " we have already caught staff with minors inappropriately," she said.
Another employee told a reporter that The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had spoken to staff about rape. " DHS mentioned there was a rape- they are giving the girls pregnancy tests," she said, " and I heard the other night that another contractor was caught in a boys' tent, you know, doing things with him."
The children are in a state of despair, many of the children in Fort Bliss have become severely depressed, according to staff, who say there are multiple cases of children self-harming themselves.
" I thought that I was not going to get out of there, that I was not going to see my family again," the 15-year-old said, welling up with emotion, according to BBC. " Sometimes, and at night, we would cry. During the worst time I was nearly at the point of committing suicide," he said.
Staff took risks to speak about and expose the conditions that children were being subjected while being held at Fort Bliss.
The state of around 12,000 other children being held in Health and Human Services (HHS) Non Government Organization (NGO) facilities scattered around the country remains unknown. Around 80% of the migrant children who end up in the U.S. alone have relatives in the country, but the system is failing to unite them quickly.
As Vice President Kamala Harris finally after 93 days went to our Southern Border to address the current immigration crisis, which was no more than another photo op. Failing to travel to sections of the Texas-Mexico border where crossing are continuing increase to catastrophic levels, she also failed to see first hand the conditions that children were experiencing at Fort Bliss.
Her biggest concern was that, the prior administration left them a mess, and blaming Former President Trump for the problem. Further she went on to state, She was going to address the "Root Causes of Migration."
The American Public needs to come to the realization that The Biden Administration is in Fact The Root Cause to The Immigration Crisis.
Democrats with the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are complicit in allowing our laws to be broken. Ocasio-Cortez has the gall to accuse Republicans in instituting so-called concentration camps, she needs to open her eyes, it was The Obama Administration that built the cages with then Vice President Biden. And now Biden has increased the number of detention camps.
Ocasio-Cortez accused Trump of ripping children from the arms of their mothers, she is delusional, with the current Title 42 Health Emergency, children are being allowed to stay while their parents are being deported. If parents only knew what their children would be subject to they would return with them.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and some others in our current Administration are politicians who adjust the truth for their political aspirations, they are using migrants in promoting their Progressive Agendas in reshaping our American Democracy.
Some Democrats need to be held Accountable for allowing these children to be mistreated. Ocasio-Cortez is nothing but a self promoting actress and should be ashamed of herself.
