Children and teens brought to Lackland will be provided with education, foster care programs, and "behavioral treatment centers." The projected cost of such programs, as well as the cost of the housing, has not been disclosed to U.S. taxpayers.
The federal government was forced to utilize Lackland as its own facilities can no longer accommodate the number of illegal immigrants waiting to be processed, reports state.
At the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) sector alone, more than 1,000 illegal immigrants are being apprehended per day.
RGV Border Patrol spokesman Daniel Tirado told Breitbart Texas that his sector is overwhelmed with the number of illegal immigrants that currently need to be processed. "We're catching an average of 1,000 per day and our agents are processing them around the clock. Processing takes between one to two hours per individual--it varies case by case," he said.

And there’s a VA hospital up the road.
Wonder if there’s a comparison study done on benefits.
Shame on that cursed Mexican government for dumping their strays on Texas. They are treated much better at our expense than our own poor are treated.
Beyond that, Lackland AFB is the only place the USAF does basic training. Now consider that uncontrolled infectious diseases (TB, measles and polio) could be introduced by the aliens in those close confines. This is a disaster waiting to happen.
No. Shame on AMERICANS for facilitating invasion.
Have they been told they can never go home or see their parents again ,well until Obama make them citizens ,then they can bring the whole damn family over
Why would anyone in their right mind join the US military and work for BHO?
They abandon the credulous young on Bengazi rooftops, the loyal old in VA hospitals.
The uniformed tweeners get paid to actively ASSIST in foreign invasions of the country.
You would have to be EXTREMELY cynical to sign up for this.
And why exactly are they not returned to Mexico?
Have you been in a cave or a convent since 2008?
Dammit. Why don’t we just annex Mexico.
a boat no matter the size can only hold so many people before it sinks.
60,000 army troops will be cut for lack of money.
Training drastically cut for lack of money.
Benefits drastically cut for lack of money.
But we have enough money for this sh*t:
Children and teens brought to Lackland will be provided with education, foster care programs, and "behavioral treatment centers."
In the meantime, Obama whittles away at the already diminished financial benefits of serving in the military as an American citizen.
take these children, put them on a plane, and escort them to the presidential palace in Mexico.
Didn’t we already? It’s called NAFTA.
Manifest Destiny 2.0, operation "Go South young man" ...
Wait until the rest of the world finds out that you get three hots & a cot, education, medical & dental, citizenship, etc. just by sneaking in to America. Hell, I’m 80% service-connected disabled and I don’t get dental!! I have a vicious infection/toothache right this minute!
take these children, put them on a plane, and escort them to the presidential palace in Mexico.
I think that area is under construction
