HHS Will "Muzzle the Media" During Tour of Immigrant Child Housing
National Review Online ^ | July 7, 2014 | Joel Gehrke

Posted on 07/07/2014 2:30:06 PM PDT by Biggirl

Health and Human Services officials will allow reporters to visit a military facility housing some of the immigrant children who have arrived at the southern border in recent weeks, but only if the media promises not to record anything, not to ask any questions during the tour, and not to talk to any of the staff members or children.

Too much media attention will only serve to traumatize these poor kids....

After all, "It's For The Children"™

Normally that would make the media suspicious, but I guess everything's OK for them if the Prez is a Dem.

I don’t care if noone ever visits these ‘facilities’. I dont care how they are housed. They should simply be insisting that the illegals be sent home. Yes, I guess I am heartless but at this point I simply don’t give a hoot about any of them.

I hope that you — as well as all other FReepers — have called your respective Congressmen to demand — in a civil and polite way — that these illegal invaders be sent home.

"...in a civil and polite way..."

Yeah, 'cause it's worked so well for us in the past...

The only thing those traitorous bastards in DC respond to is the threat to their power and control...it's time to start showing them the door like folks did to Cantor...long past time.

MEDIA!!!??? There’s no media on this tour. It is a cavalcade of sycophants sniffing Obama’s pants.

What is Obama cooking up? He is milking this for maximum political ammunition.

I would not be surprised if there is a terrible outbreak of something deadly and incurable he can use to bash republicans for the mid-terms and show the death and mayhem to the rest of the world because republicans don’t grab their ankles (more than they have) and give him EVERYTHING Obama wants. Of course the low-fos have no idea that border security funding has NOTHING to do with amnesty. It is this much of a mess because Obama has REFUSED to secure the border.

I keep hearing this “refuge” term thrown around. WRONG LIBERALS!!! Mexico is a member of the Refugee Treaty of the UN from back in the 50s. If they cross in to Mexico MEXICO is to care for them. NOPE. They are like the Palestinians. No one wants them but they sure make good political battering rams.

Do it your way. But, if I said to them what I want to say, I would not come off as a reasonable person, and the listener would write me off as a right-wing extremist and not put much stock in my opinion.

But telling them that I feel sorry for the illegals and wish that I really could help them makes them see that I am not heartless or hateful. When I called I just explained, the way I would in talking to a child, that we just cannot afford to take in and help all of the world’s poor.

I know exactly what you mean, especially considering the fact that I have two Rat senators.

But I keep hoping that if all of the congressmen keep getting a steady stream of calls from reasonable-sounding, well-spoken people they will do something to stop the Soros agenda even if it’s just to keep us from giving them the tar-and-feather treatment.
