The newest youth migrant shelter on the border is a refashioned camp for oil workers by DenizCam
An hour away from the U.S.-Mexico border in tiny Carrizo Springs, Texas, is The Studios, a one-story, nondescript structure set on 27 acres. Stratton Oilfield Systems, a subsidiary of Stratton Securities, built and opened the Studios in 2012 to house up to 500 out-of-town oilfield workers in the then-booming Eagle Shale area. People stayed at the “man camp,” the term used to describe this and other workforce lodging that popped up to accommodate the temporary oil workers, for a minimum of $29.
Today, 232 children—primarily from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador—stay at the Carrizo Springs temporary influx shelter. Inside their rooms are American flags, drawings and prayers. A handwritten note at the boy’s dorm says, “God bless America. God bless Guatemalteco.” In the adjacent building, a young girl’s sketch of her family is accompanied by these two words: “Los extraño”—“I miss you.
In June, however, Stratton Industries signed a 5-year lease with the federal government for $8.8 million. “There has been zero pushback,” Shannon Stratton toldin a brief phone call. “People just are not as concerned as they were. It’s not a detention center, it’s a shelter. That is a huge difference. It’s a lot more palatable.” Stratton referred additional questions to a representative at the Office of Refugee Resettlement, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services.
