Rev. Samuel Rodriguez was "full of indignation" when he saw the reports and heard from politicians about the deplorable and inhumane conditions for illegal immigrants at an El Paso County, Texas migrant detention center. But what he saw at the same facility toured by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. with a group of pastors was "drastically different."
The president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, the world's largest Hispanic Christian organization, and senior pastor of New Seasons Christian Worship Center in Sacramento shared his firsthand experience touring a migrant detention center during a press briefing Monday.
“I read the reports, saw the news clips. I just wanted to see what was actually happening in order to better enable our efforts to find a fair and a just solution to our broken immigration system," Rodriguez, who has advised President Trump and both Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush on immigration reform, noted. “To my surprise, I saw something drastically different from the stories I’ve been hearing in our national discourse. Even as a veteran of immigration advocacy in the U.S., I was shocked at the misinformation of the crisis at the border."
“We found no soiled diapers, no deplorable conditions and no lack of basic necessities,” Rodriguez remarked, adding he specifically asked border agents if they staged the facility in response to the negative press. “They unequivocally denied it — we were witnessing the identical conditions the attorneys saw when they toured the facility days earlier."
In fact, some told him the sources from whom the negative coverage originated “never toured the areas of the facility that we toured” and speculated they might have had political motivations.

AOC is a crack head like her step brother Obamee
She needs to be fired from Congress
Time to put these TRAITOR DEMSs in CAMPS Alo g with the liberal OBAMA judges that are destroying AMERICA paid by Soros.
AOC and her feigned outrage, what a laugh. Her credibility is shot and she had her few minutes of fame only to go down in a blaze of flames. She is a hack and people have lost interest in her; maybe someone should tell her.
If not impeachment for blatantly lying to America, then censure by Congress.
'...might have had political motivations' ? NAHHHH!
AOC is an absolute disgrace to America and Pelosi needs to put a muzzle on that big mouth of hers.
