President Trump has declared that Vice President Pence’s tour of migrant detention facilities Friday showed “how well run and clean the children’s detention centers are."

President Trump has declared that Vice President Mike Pence's tour of migrant detention facilities Friday showed "how well run and clean the children's detention centers are. Great reviews!"
He made the remarks in a pair of Sunday morning tweets where he went on to blast the New York Times' reporting as "FAKE!" saying: "The adult single men areas were clean but crowded - also loaded up with a big percentage of criminals. Sorry, can't let them into our Country. If too crowded, tell them not to come to USA, and tell the Dems to fix the Loopholes - Problem Solved!" 
Trump's tweets followed a Times report about Pence's visit which states there were "nearly 400 men crammed inside a cage with no space to lie down and no mats or pillows, according to pool reports." 
The piece goes to say that "some of the detainees shouted that they had been there for more than 40 days, were hungry and could not brush their teeth." 
"To be honest with you, I was not surprised by what we saw," Pence commented after the tour. "This crisis is real, the time for action is now."
