Admission to the migrant detention facilities is apparently all the rage, despite what the hysterical national media have been saying for the last two years.
The Los Angeles Times captured the sentiment Monday in an interview with a Cuban woman who was waiting in Mexico for even just the chance at a coveted spot in a United States detention center.

“Ten years in detention is better than a day here,” said the 22-year-old who identified herself only as Dany, a lesbian who had traveled to the U.S. border with her partner in hopes of claiming asylum. That glowing endorsement of the Trump administration’s care for illegal immigrants sneaking their way into the country comes three months after CBS’s Norah O’Donnell aired an interview with one detainee who described her stay as “excellent.”
I saw the detention centers myself when I visited two of them in Texas earlier this year. They’re fine. Instead of worrying about the lies Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and MSNBC are spreading about the detention centers, the Department of Homeland Security should be asking migrants to leave Yelp reviews upon their release.
The L.A. Times story wasn’t just a reminder that Democrats and liberals in the media have been lying about the detention centers. It also serves as a hint about why we can never be a country that eagerly invites hundreds of thousands of people from broken countries to take up permanent residence here.
Dany’s partner, 24-year-old Mari, said that while waiting at a migrant camp on the Mexico side of the border, she and others were harassed and assaulted by migrants who, like them, were hoping for entry into the U.S.
“The same people who are living with us discriminate against us,” she said.
And Democrats wonder why everyone isn’t jumping at the chance to swing open the doors to anyone and everyone south of Texas. It turns out that if you simply ask some people who live among them, you’ll find out exactly why that’s a bad idea.
