If President Obama thought that state governors would have an open door policy to letting his administration place thousands of unaccompanied Central American children in their state, he is in for a surprise. According to Fox News, a growing number of state governors are saying not so fast to Obama’s effort to relocate thousands of illegal alien children from Central America with alleged friends or family members.
Sylvia Matthews Burwell, Secretary of Health and Human Services met with dozens of governors on Sunday at the National Governors Association summer meeting in Nashville. Her goal for the meeting was to listen to the rising concerns that the stat leaders had with providing care and even public education for the children, who supposedly would be shown the door to the border in a short while.
Secretary Burwell, apparently did not want to disclose her presence or the governors’ disdain to reporters after the meeting and managed to leave the confab through a side door, reported Fox News.
Although the Obama official was too timid to speak with reporters, Colorado Democrat Governor did give his opinion, saying, “However we deal with the humanitarian aspects of this, we’ve got to do it in the most cost-effective way possible,” according to Fox News.
Republican governors were critical about the administration’s plans, including Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. They raised an important point about Obama’s plan to deal with the crisis by placing these children with supposed legal relatives. In fact, administration officials have offered no plan to check the legal immigration status of the families in question. So in effect, Obama’s efforts could be locating illegal children in homes of illegal relatives and illegal friends.
Due to Obama’s 2012 Executive Order which allowed nearly one million illegal aliens to gain a free ride card to stay in America, many conservatives believe that this will be the case for the 57,000 illegal Central American children already in America since last October.
Heck, place them here:
The Greenbrier, 300 W. Main Street, White Sulphur Springs, WV 24986
Heck, put them at Camp David.
Like here in Ct POS Maloy said no to one specific location..you can bet your ass he suggested or will suggest others,wait!
This has been going on for over a month. I’d say the Governors are in FAIL mode, so far.
Put them in the field houses at Univ of Maryland and Trinity College in Hartford, CT
University of Nebraska field house in Lincoln Nebraska
Any public official who supports this invasion is a traitor. THEY should deported also.
This has been going on for over a month. I’d say the Governors are in FAIL mode, so far.
AGREE!! So far, Gov Perry (here in TX) is an epic FAIL on this. Wonder what he thinks about the $50M resort in Weslaco, where illegals will be *housed*.
I’m sure the fine folks at Sidwell Friends will be happy to take a hundred or so.
Good, the governors of the states need to really crack down on over intrusions by the feds. Last time I checked, the feds are constitutionally obligated to provide services to the states, NOT LORD OVER THEM.
Free the states, starve the fed beast, take the “United States” back from the fed tyrants.
Finally the Imprisoned States of America are complaining about their condition. Better late then never.
Politicians are governed by two emotions - arrogance and fear.
Up till now, the politicians from both parties have been in full throttle overweening arrogance node, and their hubris has finally caught up to them
The events of the last few weeks have shown them that the American electorate is really pissed off and that they are mobilizing and preparing a backlash of monumental proportions.
This has beaten down their arrogance and they are rapidly moving into fear mode.
As the Democrats are realizing how badly this is being played for them in the African American community, fear is transitioning into flop sweat terror.
By the time the American electorate realizes the magnitude and the seriousness of this manufactured invasion of illegal aliens , tar and feathers will not be out of the question.
Why do the governors not stop this?
Governors be damned, Hussein can and is placing these ILLEGAL aliens anywhere he chooses. And there is nothing anyone can do about it.
***Due to Obama’s 2012 Executive Order which allowed nearly one million illegal aliens to gain a free ride card to stay in America...***
Whoa! I missed this one. Was this part of one of those ‘Friday news dumps’? Hard to keep up with all the treason when you work for a living.
and they shall call her Sylvia “side door” Burwell. In typical Rat fashion, she scurries out of sight as that is how evil works in the shadows and behind the curtain.
dump them off @ Gitmo since Osama is clearing that place of real terrorists. The “kids” will love all the ammenities at the Gitmo Resort.
