VP Pence Exposes What CNN Is Hiding In Their Detention Center Narrative: ‘Americans Deserve The Full Story From CNN’

On Friday, Vice President Mike Pence and Second Lady Karen Pence paid a visit to both processing centers in Donna and McAllen, Texas to get a first-hand look at what exactly it going on in the facilities.

Pence was encouraged by what he saw take place in the facilities, despite the overcrowding that they are facing. And he called on Democrats in Congress to step up their efforts to help end the “unsustainable crisis” that is overwhelming US systems.

In regards to the Donna Processing Center Pence said he “saw firsthand how even in the face of our overwhelmed facilities, @CBP is providing humane and compassionate care.” He added, “Congress MUST reform our laws to end this unsustainable crisis of illegal immigration at the border.”  Continued Below

Then after his meeting at the DHS processing facility in McAllen, Pence slammed Democrats by saying that Mexico is doing more than them to protect America’s southern border, where he said “we are on track to apprehend over 1 million migrants” this year alone.

To close things out, Pence took aim at CNN and their coverage of detention facilities. He accused them of hiding the full story on what’s happening at the border that Americans deserve to know.

Pence said, “CNN is so dishonest. Today we took reporters to a detention facility on the border for families and children and all told us they were being treated well.”

“The crisis at our southern border is not a “manufactured crisis”, it is real and is overwhelming our system,” Pence continued. “To show this, we also visited an overcrowded facility for adult men, many of whom have been arrested multiple times. These men were in a temporary holding area because Democrats in Congress have refused to fund additional bed space.”

Pence further wrote, “Rather than broadcast the full story, showing the compassionate care the American people are providing to vulnerable families, tonight CNN only played video of men in the temporary facility and didn’t play any footage of the family facility at all, ignoring the excellent care being provided to families and children.”

“Our great @CBP agents deserve better and the American people deserve the whole story from CNN,” he concluded. See Below
