The lawmakers recently traveled with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus at the beginning of the month to the border to examine the conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do have a crisis at our border, it is one of morality,” Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., said. “As we have seen this current strategy unfold, intentional and cruelly created by the Trump administration, dead set on sending a hate-filled message that those seeking refuge are not welcome in America, in our America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the lawmakers testified on July 12, Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., led a Republican congressional delegation to a Border Patrol facility in McAllen. The visit delivered dramatic images of more than 300 detained men, some wearing disposable face masks, standing in cramped quarters behind chain-link fences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For [Second Lady] Karen [Pence] and me, it was frankly heartbreaking, as parents, to talk to young children who told us of having walked two to three months up the Peninsula to cross into our country,” Pence said after the visit to a detention facility. “That has to change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/jdawsey1/status/1149817289069486081\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, a bipartisan group of House members, led by Reps.

As they waited in line for a border officer to inspect their passports or other documents, another line began forming in a separate part of the building. This one was for asylum-seekers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='Kevin, asylum-seeker from Honduras']‘It’s like you lose hope. Maybe asylum isn’t real. Sometimes I wonder.’[/pullquote]In this room, hidden from the routine flow of traffic, men, women and small children from Africa, the Caribbean and Central America stood in silence — single file, with their hands behind their backs. They waited for an officer to take them down several flights of stairs to the port basement, where they would be placed in a holding cell while U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) decided where they would go next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late May, KQED got a rare glimpse inside CBP’s Admissibility Enforcement Unit, the basement of the San Ysidro Port of Entry where asylum-seekers attempting to enter the U.S. legally from Tijuana are initially processed. Under \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2017-Sep/CBP%20TEDS%20Policy%20Oct2015.pdf\">CBP standards\u003c/a>, people should generally not be held in such facilities for more than 72 hours, but the time limit is often exceeded. Migrants told KQED they were recently detained there for weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asylum-seeking migrants often travel for weeks or even months to get to the U.S.-Mexico border. But officials say they are overwhelmed and can process only a limited number of requests each day, so the migrants put their names on an informal list and then wait in Tijuana — sometimes for months — until it’s their turn to return to the port of entry and ask for asylum. As large numbers of asylum-seekers arrive here, the basement has become ground zero for what the agency describes as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Owen-Provost-Padilla%20Joint%20Testimony.pdf\">crisis\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four asylum-seekers recently detained here told KQED that border officers denied them food, delayed medical treatment, used physical force against them or other detainees and pressured them to sign paperwork that would trigger their return to Mexico. While KQED was not able to independently verify the accounts from asylum-seekers, several individuals repeated the same observations in separate interviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A CBP spokeswoman denied those allegations, calling them unsubstantiated, and said the agency “treats those in its custody with dignity and respect and provides multiple avenues to report any misconduct.” She said the agency investigates all formal complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The San Ysidro Port of Entry\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every day, 34,000 people walk north through the San Ysidro Port of Entry’s pedestrian crossings, and 45,000 cars move through its vehicle inspection lines, according to CBP. With 19% of all traffic coming into the United States here, San Ysidro is the busiest land border crossing in the Western Hemisphere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx01gsmr8RI&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The port’s underground facility looks like a jail, but cleaner. White cinder block walls enclose hallways with surveillance cameras. The floor is gray linoleum with drains. Migrants first undergo a medical screening. People with contagious illnesses, transgender migrants and other vulnerable detainees must be isolated, according to CBP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote]‘A CBP spokeswoman denied allegations made by four asylum-seekers who spoke to KQED, calling them unsubstantiated.’[/pullquote]After the initial intake process, migrants pass through a chain-link gate and stand at a counter to answer questions from officers sitting behind computers. Mothers and children sit together beneath a large American flag hanging in a waiting room. Meanwhile, migrants shuffle back and forth from holding cells to the cafeteria or showers, walking in single file with their hands behind their backs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cells are the size of a small bedroom. Inside, migrants sit on metal benches or use the toilet — shielded only by a waist-high divider. Detainees hold aluminum blankets and thin, rolled-up sleeping mats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of the people who spoke to KQED are Central Americans who underwent an initial screening and were sent back to Tijuana to await their hearings in U.S. immigration court under the government’s recent Migrant Protection Protocols, or “Return to Mexico” policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below are accounts of detention inside the San Ysidro Port of Entry from four asylum-seekers. KQED has agreed to identify them by partially naming them— generally using their first names— because they all have ongoing asylum cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11752913\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11752913\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/10-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/10-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/10-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/10-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/10-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/10-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/10.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carmen Lovo looks out from a rooftop in Tijuana, Mexico, on May 23, 2019.

While KQED was not able to independently verify the accounts from asylum-seekers, several individuals repeated the same observations in separate interviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A CBP spokeswoman denied those allegations, calling them unsubstantiated, and said the agency “treats those in its custody with dignity and respect and provides multiple avenues to report any misconduct.” She said the agency investigates all formal complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The San Ysidro Port of Entry\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every day, 34,000 people walk north through the San Ysidro Port of Entry’s pedestrian crossings, and 45,000 cars move through its vehicle inspection lines, according to CBP.

The Border Patrol said Wednesday that 11,500 children without a parent crossed the border just last month. The kids are transferred to the care of Health and Human Services after the Border Patrol processes them. Health and Human Services contracts out their care and housing to nonprofits and private companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we have said, we have a humanitarian crisis at the border brought on by a broken immigration system that is putting tremendous strain (on the agency),” Health and Human Services spokeswoman Evelyn Stauffer said. “Additional resources are urgently required to meet the humanitarian needs created by this influx — to both sustain critical child welfare and release operations and increase capacity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health and Human Services is seeking nearly $3 million in emergency funding to cover more beds and provide basic care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An official at one of the shelter providers said the government notified them on May 30 that they wouldn’t be reimbursing costs of providing education and other activities. The providers pay for things like teacher salary upfront and are then reimbursed by the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the matter, said his employer was scrambling to figure out how it would cover the cost of teachers.
