Last week a news article indicated that a building owned by the City of San Antonio was being utilized by Homeland security as a processing and transportation hub for wetbacks. It was characterized as a secret facility. Several city council critters expressed surprise when confronted by the reporter. Thankfully, the city manager stepped in to clarify the situation, by denying the story.

However, City Manager Erik Walsh says council members were, in fact, aware the city had been using the “Airport Transit Center” to temporarily hold migrants ahead of their scheduled flights out of the airport.
