Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-TX) downplayed the bad conditions in detention centers for undocumented immigrants, the Huffington Post reports.
Said Neugebauer: “They belong back with their families. When you look at the lovely way they’re getting treated — they’re getting free health care, free housing, you know, they’re watching the World Cup on big screen TVs.”
Meanwhile, the Houston Chronicle runs photos of the terrible conditions in these detention centers.
