In recent news, the Biden administration started to rent a ‘man camp’ built for the oil workers and engineers in Midland, Texas.
Spending over $33 million, they are taking in migrant youths, but residents nearby are upset by the presence of the detention facility right in their backyard.
Midland resident Shon Crabtree states, “They have doctors, chefs, three square meals a day, they play soccer all day. They are living better than us.”
He is not the only one upset, there are neighbors that agree with his statement. Crabtree is one of the residents who lives across the street from the detention facility, constructed in 2012 as a temporary house to workers in the oil industry.
He adds on, “President Biden is a piece of s**t. I blame him for all of this.”
Biden continues to ease the immigration laws of the country and his team plans to alleviate more of their policies by spending more than $86 million to other centers not located in Midland.
Red Cross Volunteers help out by keeping watch on the children, making sure that they are in the right space and are safe within their camp.
Crabtree continues to argue, “A week ago my house was worth $300K right now it’s worth zero, because of this detention facility. When I bought my house I obviously knew there was a ‘man camp’ across the street. Oilfield workers and engineers lived at the camp for periods of time. They were professional living there, I had nothing to worry about.”
“And there is zero privacy, the cops generally sit right there in my front driveway, it feels like you are being watched and monitored 24/7.”
“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.”
Another resident, Anthony Whetstone, has the opposite opinion of Crabtree, stating that it is a good idea to house the kids in what the administration has provided for them.point 263 |

Officials state that there are more than 14,000 migrant youths that are being held in federal custody – which is about three times more of the number of children that had been under the previous administration, who had put ‘kids in cages,’
Bringing in children to the facility with necessary services “was kind of like building a plane as it’s taking off,” said the official, disclosing their name because of government restrictions.
