Congressman Henry Cuellar toured the McAllen Border Patrol station that currently houses over 1,000 undocumented immigrants.

On Saturday, Cuellar invited fellow State Representatives and the Hidalgo County Judge Ramon Garcia, to tour the Border Patrol station where the undocumented immigrants caught are living in.

"It’s bearable, it’s a lot better now the attention that we have given them," Cuellar said. "It’s helping them; they are given three meals a day.”

Every day nearly 1,200 undocumented immigrants from Central America are flocking the Rio Grande Valley, packing to full capacity immigration facilitates.

The lack of space at immigration facilities is leaving Border Patrol agents with no other choice but to let the undocumented immigrants go.

Congressman Cuellar says Border Patrol agents in the Valley released more than 8,000 undocumented immigrants in the past two months.

"Remember 1,500 a day in this area and those are the ones that are caught, imagine the ones that they don't catch that are coming in across the river," Cuellar said.

Right now, the Border Patrol station in McAllen is past its capacity; filled with over one thousand undocumented immigrants.

Inside there are families, adults and even unaccompanied minors.

"It’s just very sad when you ask them: how did you get here? Where is your mom? Where is your dad?" Cuellar said. "I still remember this 12-year-old girl from Guatemala, she came by herself, crossed by herself...if you see those kids especially the kids with no parents it pulls to your heart, it’s a difficult situation."

Cuellar says that while touring the facility what he most saw was children; some as young as 10-years-old sent alone following the crowds of those searching for a better life.

75 percent of the people in facilities are from Central America.

Cuellar reiterated that it's not a Mexican problem but he's calling on Mexico to help the United States with this growing problem.

"We are playing defense on the one yard line called the U.S./Mexico border," Cuellar said. "If we don't take to the 20 yard line and work with them with the southern border and also work with Guatemala, El Salvador, we are going to continue having them continue crossing over."

Officials say 30,000 to 40,000 undocumented immigrants have been released so far this year.

Cuellar has personally talked to Secretary of State John Kerry about what must be done to reduce the numbers.

"When I asked him to do more to help Mexico, his response was they got Carlos Slim," Cuellar said. "That is a very insensitive remark. I would say to Secretary Kerry and to the administration that Mexico and Central America is certainly no on their radar."

As the need for space for the thousands crossing every day continues, families, pregnant woman and children will be released.

They will be placed on commercial planes or buses to where they claim to have family.

They are given a notice and ordered to appear in court but that date can sometimes be more than a year from their release.

It’s unclear how many actually show up for those hearings.

Adult men who come alone are detained and held in a detention center until they are sent back to their country.

Cuellar says as long as there violence and a lack of jobs in their home countries, these undocumented immigrants will continue to cross our border illegally.
