40,000-50,000 MORE?

Hisker
You seem to want tp believe I am making it up about the BO admin buying a resort t house illegal minors
that is EXACTLY what the BO admin and a Baptist org were going to do.
They were going to operate a resort<The Link
open the link, does tis look like a' resort" to you?

BO admin was going to use this resort to house illegal minors at a cost to us of 50 million
Baptist Child and Family Services was going to us our money to buy and operate the resort.

BCFS plans to employ 650 people at the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites, which would mean slightly over one worker per illegal alien child. According to the BCSF Website, the charity’s jobs pay from $10 to $45 per hour.

KRGV-TV quoted a BCFS spokeswoman about the purpose of buying the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites:


“It’s going to be an intake facility, which serves as a lot like a hospital emergency room,” Krista Piferrer, BCFS VP External Affairs said.

“”We’ve all seen the photos and the videos of children in crowded Border Patrol facilities. What this site is going to allow to happen is quickly move those children out of Border Patrol cells and triage them,” Piferrer said.”

BCFS plans for the facility to be “completely self-contained” with Piferrer telling KRGV-TV, ‘medical staff will be on hand so children with diseases or injuries will not be transferred to local hospitals.’

Piferrer told the Valley Morning Star the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites facility would ‘(provide) medical and mental health care, on-site educational programs, recreational programs and case management.’

According to a Hidalgo County commissioner, the BCFS contract for the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites is an annual one worth $50 million per year. It is not part of the $3.7 billion emergency funding for the illegal alien invasion requested by the Obama administration as the bill hasn’t yet passed but it is a good indication of where the money will go.

UPDATE: Baptist Child and Family Services Withdraws Bid for Palm Aire Resort after backlash

For sure there are other abuses of our money in the works but hopefully, like this one, they will be snuffed out.
 
Please note this 50 million contract was 50 million EACH year for650 kids.
This Baptist org already gets millions each year t care for unaccompanied illegal minors.

IF we had the money there is no one who would not want to help every single child in the world
but we do not

so for those who call people who want these illegal kids sent back to their homelands xenophobic, racist etc
what is your limit? How much are you ok with us borrowing to help disadvantaged children?
and why wouldn't you want to help all children all over the world.
50 million could feed millions of starving kids instead of housing 650 in a resort.
 
How about this? is this stupid?
"The Texas-based nonprofit Catholic Charities is currently seeking out foster families for the migrants, most of whom come from Central America. Ruth Braiser, a spokeswoman for the organization, told Breitbart Texas that foster families can receive monthly payments for housing adult immigrants who are under 23-years-old.

"Most of our children are 15 to 17-years-old," she said. "But some stay in our program until they are 22-years-old; if they're still working on getting their high school diploma, they can stay until they're that age."
and
Braiser mentioned that foster families will be given $40 per day to care for each migrant they take in from Catholic Charities. The payments are funded by the federal government, as Breitbart Texas previously reported.

Foster parents have the ability to collect more than $7,400 per month, considering that they can house six immigrants at any given time.

Braiser said that the illegal immigrants are provided with taxpayer subsidized education, health care, transportation, and an "allowance." She was not specific about the amount of such an allowance or how often it is administered.

Many have expressed outrage that instead of being turned away at the border, many illegal aliens are being brought to federal facilities where they receive a slew of taxpayer-subsidized benefits: housing, food, vocational training, English lessons, recreation, and legal counsel. Ultimately, most of the migrants are released onto U.S. soil after promising to show up at an immigration court hearing."The Link

so we taxpayers will pay someone $40.00 to house these illegal and on top of that we will feed them, educate them ( at huge expense to local ISDs)medical and dental care for them AND give them an allowance?
until they are 23?
It does not spell out the vetting process for the adults who take these poor unfortunate illegals in. How many are illegals themselves?
This is some nice scam and a huge burden on our tax dollars or on the money we are borrowing .

someone suggested refugee camps in their own countries similar to the ones currently utilized in other countries around the world, run by the UN and international organizations.

I am surprised you agree this plan by the gov't is stupid.
It is actually worse than stupid but at least you recognizing the stupidity of the feds here is a good start.
Everyone in need all over the world should be able to get help. The money wasted here could help millions more.
There are millions of American kids who don't get that much spent on them.
 
Why should Aide to citizen children, who lose a parent, stop at 18 when migrant children get help till 22? Why not extend it to anyone without a job? What could go wrong?

Just think how many unemployed people there are in the world. We could help everyone! The economy will really take off when all the flights are paid for to bring everyone here who wants to come. They can live in any spare bedrooms people might have in their houses, all arranged by the NSA of course. We can call it: "Paradigm Project Venezuela, maybe it will work here?".
 
Is is stupid to think that anything from Brietbart is accurate.

The hint is that the story calls these children "illegal aliens". This is utterly false (and stupid). They are refugees entitled to asylum proceedings pursuant to federal law.

It is pathetic that racist losers want to turn children into a wedge issue.

The story is stupid (and disgusting).

It is also stupid that this is some tidal wave. Overall detentions at the border are down and the number of agents are up. We have admitted 3 million refugees pursuant to asylum requests since 1975 and an additional 125,000 Cuban boat people. Ted Cruz's own father was granted political asylum.

So yes the article is stupid.

Really?Which exactly do you think is inaccurate in the Breitbart report?
do you think Breitvart got someone to impersonate Ruth Braiser of Catholic Charities?
or
do you think Breitbart got the real Ruth Braiser to make up lies about what the taxpayer will pay for these illegal aliens until age 23?

It is typical for many to try to attack the method of reporting instead of actually looking at what is being reported.

pso
are you actually saying the feds are NOT paying Cathokic charities and other orgs to find foster families to take in illegals until age 23. paying them $40.00 a day PLUS we pay for their education food at school medical and dental recreational activities and even an allowance?
are you saying that is not accurate?
 
I think that Breitbart is about 10 times worse than citing Faux News. It plants false stories all the time. It quote mines and uses false and inflammatory language. It is not a news source at all, but rather a continuous right-wing opinion blog.

Do I think the US government is paying money to house and feed refugee children?

I certainly hope so. We have done this with refugees from Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Cuba, China, Ukraine, Poland, Russia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Rwanda, and the Sudan just to name a few countries.

Why are these dark brown children from our same hemisphere any different?

Why the outrage? Why the furor? I do not get this. It is not some huge number since overall detentions are way down from 2000 levels. Why the false claim that we are being overrun? Why the false claims of the origin of this crisis?

It is being driven as a wedge issue to fire up the racist base.

These are children and many are entitled to US citizenship under the law. All of them should be treated humanely until they are given proper hearings in immigration court so their status can be determined. Some and perhaps most will be returned. Many will stay and become citizens.

Why are you treating children entitled to US citizenship like criminal outcasts?

I will never understand this. All of them are entitled to compassion and understanding especially the ones who will be sent back.

You do not turn asylum seeking refugees back at the border (this is inhumane and against US and International law).

The last time we did this things did not end very well especially for the refugees.
