A Closer Inspection: Hispanic Caucus tours migrant camp

A delegation of congressional leaders followed U.S. Rep. Filemon Vela, D-Brownsville, into Matamoros to witness conditions in the camp of asylum seekers just past the Gateway International Bridge on Friday.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-FL, called the conditions in Matamoros "heinous human rights abuses". Another representative, Suzanne Bonamici, D-Oregon, told reporters that she spoke to a woman from El Salvador whose sick baby was lying on the floor of a tent.

"This is no way to treat families who are coming to the US because they are seeking a better life. They are escaping violence. They are escaping countries where they are not safe. Please, everyone, speak up," she said.
