Encouraging visits is just a fancy way to create political theater. The real problem? Borders without walls, not ICE’s detention centers.

They say ‘look but don’t touch’—well, it’s time to look with eyes wide open and start treating people like humans, not criminals.

Visiting ICE facilities might bridge the gap between policy and reality, if only lawmakers come back ready to listen, not just look.

If Congress won’t go see the mess firsthand, how can they fix the nightmare? Touring ICE prisons isn’t just a visit—it’s a call to humanity.

If Congress wants to play ‘immigration police,’ fine—just hope they don’t find what they don’t want to see. Maybe oversight means tougher enforcement, not hand-wringing.

Congress needs boots on the ground, but also plans on the table—seeing is believing, but solving is achieving.

Transparency is good, but let’s make sure these visits aren’t just photo ops with neatly swept floors. Real oversight means real change.

If they want to visit, they should also visit the border—not just the detention centers. Stop blaming the agency for political failures upstream.

Oversight isn’t optional when people are sleeping on concrete floors. Let’s shine light on these dark cells and demand change.
