Congress to tour children's immigration detention center, ahead of Obama's planned $2B request

The Department of Health and Human Services is allowing members of Congress to visit a Texas immigration detention center amid growing concerns about access to such facilities housing the recent surge of children who have illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border.

The tour is scheduled to take place Tuesday morning. The site will be a temporary shelter at the Joint Base San Antonio Lackland, according to The Blaze news website.

Tens of thousands of young people -- including an estimated 50,000 children -- have illegally crossed the border in recent months, sent by their parents to escape violence in Central America and connect with relatives in the United States.

The long-simmering issue about what the U.S. should do with an estimated 11.5 million people now living here illegally and the need to tighten border security has emerged as a key 2014 election issue. The surge of illegals also resulted this week in a tense standoff in Southern California in which residents of the city of Murrieta turned back buses carrying an overflow of illegal border-crossers.

I will be asking questions much like these of my Rep. senator this year. If I don’t get the right answer, I can’t stomach voting for the Democrat, but I won’t be voting for him. These RINO’s better wake up, NOW.

I’m talking to YOU, Mitch McConnell.

I don’t think that shipping people into a strange country and turning them into welfare dependent democrats qualifies as “charity.”

Since the illegal alien invaders youth are “in custody”...arrest them, seize any assets and deport them. Who gives a crap if they are “children”?

Here’s an idea: “No tour, no money, expel the illegal aliens.”

Here’s another idea: “Remove the illegal alien from the White House and imprison him in solitary confinement forever.”

Life is much easier when making adult decisions in accordance with the law.

We can put them on commercial ships to Central America cheaper and faster. There is no reason once detained the turnaround time for beginning their trip back south should be over 48 hours. 72-96 hours at sea should get them there and bypass Mexico altogether.

Second option? Charter cargo planes and set up netting seats like in military transports. The cost would be far less. 2 billion dollars would go a long ways in securing our border and ending the ability to enter the U.S. illegally.

The best thing congress can decide is to fly the veterans down there so they can get to see a doctor...

You took da words right outta my mouth. They will be sanitized (literally) and staged for the nice congresscritters’ visit. Meanwhile, they are spreading parasites and diseases all over the country. Every minute they are here is an affront to U.S. citizens.

GROUNDS FOR IMMEDIATE DEPORTATION "Cheat sheets" have been found at the border, indicating illegals gave false information to US got officials. Laws which penalize giving US officials false information need to be enforced at once. This should be grounds for immediate expulsion.

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

DO THIS NOW Demand your state and federal legislators add one question to welfare applications, EITC forms, healthcare forms, and all other subsidy forms (the list is endless).

THE QUESTION: How many us govt checks is the applicant now cashing? (subsidy requires names used on govt checks and amounts)

Important notation on bottom of forms: (A) Falsifying us govt applications is a crime. (B) Taking us govt money under false pretenses is punishable by 5 years or more incarceration.
