Reporters Tour Homestead Facility

Days after two Florida lawmakers are denied entry into the Homestead detention center were about 1,200 illegal immigrant children are being housed, reporters are given a tour.  The kids wear ID badges, sleep on bunk beds, have classroom time and can play sports.  The goal now is reuniting them with their families, but Health and Human Services' Mark Weber says the vast majority of these 13 to 17-year-olds came here unaccompanied.

Representatives Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Frederica Wilson plus Senator Bill Nelson are expected to get to tour the facility Saturday.  Senator Marco Rubio went inside Friday afternoon.
