Ever been given consideration in the house. that's my feeling about it. >> congressman, given that you're there in a border state of texas, i'm curious what's been the response from your constituents and the extent to which they're worried about this. >> well, very concerned. i spoke last evening at the texas state capitol to a crowd of hundreds. part of the life for liberty vigils that were held all across america. my staff was in san antonio for the same and in washington. i think people realize that a private prison system to hold these people where taxpayers are being charged up to $775 pe...

Overcrowding, we saw the same pictures back to the room in 2014 in the obama administration, but we are paying $775 per kid per day in government funding to these detention centers that are making money as they do not give out toothpaste and freshwater, and that is child abuse. the parents can handle it, but the little kids can't. that has to be fixed immediately. speeone coggeshall and alexandra garcia cortez with her four plus million twitter followers says she saw people drinking out of toilets. matthew, your thoughts? >> two weeks ago she said these were concentration camps and not immigra...
