US adds military base to house children entering country without relatives
Reuters (The Guardian UK) ^ | June 9, 2014

Posted on 06/10/2014 7:18:16 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement

The Obama administration on Monday announced it is designating a third US military base for emergency housing of children into the United States without parents or relatives, as the cost of caring for these minors escalated.

Senior administration officials, who asked not to be identified, told reporters that an army base at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, will initially hold 600 "unaccompanied minors" and eventually will be able to accommodate up to 1,200.

The only way to stop the insanity is to pass amnesty.

See how that works?

MESSAGE TO SEN INHOFE---Sen Inhofe should notify Army officials that these are minor children......Child Protective Services should detain them under laws covering “suspected runaways”.

Sen Inhofe, the US military, and the state, should officially contact the governments involved specifying that they are required to seek out the parents of these Mexican, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemalan children so that they can be returned to them via their respective juvenile justice systems.

Sen Inhofe might emphasize that the countries involved might not want to be party to child abandonement, as the world looks on.

AS yefragetuwrabrumuy INSIGHTFULLY POSTED By US law, these separated children are legally chattels of their parents; the state cannot release minors until there are responsible adults to care for them.

=================================================

MEMO TO SEN INHOFE: If necessary , Sen Inhofe should expose the corruption in American CPS agencies. One news report that interviewed ex-Child Protective Service agents, exposed that the entire CPS..... aided and abetted by the Virginia legal system...... is designed to separate mothers from their children.

The price is right.

(a) For every child taken from the parents, the Federal government pays CPS approximately $5,000 dollars. (b) If the child is a minority, more money is paid. (c) And if the child has a disability, the feds payout even more in taxpayer’s money to separate children from parents.”

NOTE: The reporter who exposed this corruption kept getting death threats directed at him AND his family for covering this story.

Does anyone else suspect this invasion is being orchestrated and funded by the Obama administration itself, and some of his backers like Soros, and the COC, and the GOP establishment, etc?

Any hard evidence yet who’s ultimately behind this?

The liberal, feminist-driven, education system in this country teaches that males are predators and unnecessary. Media reinforces that. Liberal society dictates that babies are nuisances for women who strive to be more than wives. We have warped homosexual behavior that is going mainstream. Meanwhile, we are being flooded with people from other nations who are being fed government-dependency if they stay home and raise children; the USA will take care of your bills. And the Democrat membership increases one way while touting independence with another of its bloc.

With these unaccompanied minors, the crimes against humanity are even worse. What would happen to us if we took in a minor instead of returning that child to their parents or a responsible authority? And locked them up in overcrowded conditions? We'd be charged with kidnapping.

HOR....the only money that should be authorized is to send these children to their homelands.

I’ve been asking the same thing. Who authorized HLS to authorize the military to house these *children*/future Dem voters?

Hey, lucky us. The administration is very busy distributing these “kids” to Arizona and Oklahoma, ironically two states that have directly opposed him on immigration. Now they will become our problem.

Maybe we should have our state legislators forward them to Detroit and Chicago

A thread here on FR last week stated that it costs $252 a day per child to take care of them!!!

IN mass groups sleeping on cots in places that already exist.

As a life long bookkeeper-—I want to see that cost breakdown.

They have them at Lackland AFB too. Change that to the US military is becoming the world's babysitters. That has all the hallmarks of a moochelle program.

BTW what a coincidence that this should suddenly happen spontaneously before a mid term election.

It’s FedGov accounting so it’s probably right on the money.
