It’s so tiresome watching ‘journalists’ think they’ve got a gotcha. NBC News’ Kristen Welker thought she had one when she dutifully parroted her fellow Democrats by describing the jail-like enclosures inside Alligator Alcatraz as ‘cages.’ Well, they are cages, but they’re infinitely better than what Democrat presidents have held illegal aliens in recently.
Here's Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem setting the record straight. (WATCH)
NBC’s Welker echoes the Wasserman-Schultz Alligator Alcatraz rhetoric to Noem:

When Obama was president, she didn't seem to have problem with it

That’s a nope.
Here's the video of Debbie Wasserman Schultz decrying ‘cages.’ (WATCH)

Just finished my walkthrough of Alligator Alcatraz.
Here’s what I saw:The rhetoric coming from Democrats does not match the reality.
The place is well run, safe, secure, clean and air conditioned.
We reviewed the intake area, medical tent, mess hall, recreation areas and sleeping quarters.
I actually laid down in one of the beds and it was really comfortable.
So, any complaints about squalor conditions is nothing more than bullsh*t and political theater.

Blaise Ingoglia is a Florida State Senator and says Schultz is lying about the conditions there. Well, that's a given.
The Democrats losing their minds over Alligator Alcatraz don’t have a firm grasp of what jails are like.

Wow, who knew that illegal alien detention centers are jails that hold people inside metal fence enclosures, also known as ‘cages?’ Someone get NBC News on the line!
Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
