Crabby Texans crab that BIDEN's facilities for immigrants are better than theirs & they HATE him!1

Funny how a couple of days ago Democratic border Congressman Henry CUELLAR released pictures, of not known source to mostly wingnut media outlets, of detention facilities, and reporters were breathless about how horribly the detained minors were being housed, IN DONNA TEXAS, 10 miles to border, they screamed, yet they featured videos from far off and taken vague dates away.

Now we have one Midland, Texas, denizen, 300 miles to the closest border, CRABTREE crabbing that the kids are LIVING BETTER THAN US! To be clear, the facilities were built (and still owned?) by an oil company, not by Mr BIDEN. Why doesn’t CRABTREE just walk across the street and get in line for the 3 SQUARES and then get some exercise playing soccer with the kids? Maybe his temperament might improve!1 Him so SKEERED!1 So BIG!1

EXCLUSIVE: 'They have doctors and chefs - they're living better than us!' Angry Texas residents tell how the Biden administration is housing over 500 migrant youths at an all-inclusive $33m 'man camp' just feet away from their homes
• About 500 migrant youth are being housed at a 'man camp' in Midland, Texas that was constructed in 2012 to temporarily house workers in the oil industry
• Shon Crabtree, 42, lives across the street from the Federal Government's newest unaccompanied minor immigration detention facility and is clearly disgruntled
'I'm worried about some of them escaping and coming to my house and holding my family hostage until they get what they want or taking a vehicle. We are scared,' Crabtree told DailyMail.com
• The migrant children, who appear to be 12-17 years in age, are mainly from Central America
• DailyMail.com visited the camp where there is a small wooden 4 ft. fence that surrounds the property with federal police vehicles positioned outside of the facility on the roadway 24 hours a day
• According to their website, Cotton Logistics opened their Midland facility in 2012 and has 700 beds. The man camps are built like all-inclusive hotels with five-star hospitality, wireless internet and cable TV


…. 'They have doctors, chefs, three square meals a day, they play soccer all day. They are living better than us. I see them in new clothing, they line up for their meals three times a day, and then play and watch TV,' Midland resident Shon Crabtree tells DailyMail.com.

In an exclusive interview from his front yard with the detention facility just feet behind him, a clearly disgruntled Crabtree exclusively tells DailyMail.com, 'President Biden is a piece of s***t. I blame him for all of this.'

The amenities here are in stark contrast to photos released by Congressman Henry Cuellar
over the weekend that show a crowded migrant encampment in Texas where 400 unaccompanied male minors are being held in 'terrible conditions' in a space meant for half as many. ....

Shon Crabtree, 42, ... is clearly disgruntled
• 'I'm worried about some of them escaping and coming to my house and holding my family hostage until they get what they want or taking a vehicle. We are scared,'

He's pissing his pants because children from Central America who are seeking asylum might "escape" and hold his family hostage. With what? A new shirt? leftover desserts they're saving up to trade with?

Sunds like projection of what he'd try to do if he were being held in any kind of detention center--escape and take hostages.

Why would these kids who are living it up and living better than he is want to leave that for his shitty life? He just admitted he keeps his own family in detention center like conditions, or that he's too poor to buy his kids new clothes and video games. These kids are zero threat to him. Zero. Yet he's scared. Bet he's an anti masker, and refuses the vaccine, too.

He does not see these children as people, or they are a little too like his own kids for comfort. These children violate his sense of what a refugee should look like-not poor enough looking, not hungry enough looking. He envies children without parents in a country where they don't speak the language. And he blames Biden for his lot in life--Biden's been in office for just over two months. But sure, it's all Biden's fault.

Rubes. Every last one of them. VIcious, mindless rubes.

They're lazy, just coming here for all the free stuff, committing crimes, but they're also stealing our jobs.

Um, which is it? And if they are stealing your job, what does that say about you?

There is no logic here. Just fear of the other.

Clown says it's Mexico's problem when the article clearly states these teenaged boys are from Central America.

Note: immigrant kids were way more fun to teach than many spoiled Nth generation Americans. Way better behaved, too.

You should defect, and run off to, I don't know, Russia or someplace, and demand to be treated like a refugee applying for asylum for the intolerable conditions you're facing in the United States. That'd show everyone! Don't wuss out, pick a country where English isn't the first language, so that you get the full experience.

don't count on the government for handouts, Crabtree. Work harder, and then you can afford nice things, too

They don’t tend to put any kind of legal holding operation in what is considered the “good part” of town. They don’t have penitentiaries near country clubs. That being actually your neighbor is more than a tip off of what the powers that be think of you and your neighbors.

He claims they're living better than him, and then he's scared about them going to his house? Dumb shit, if they're living better than you, they're not going to want to invade your home. This is what happens when people have no ability to think.
