FEDS TO OPEN $50 MILLION RESORT FOR ILLEGAL CHILDREN – Complete With Tennis Courts, Sauna & Pools
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 7-16-2014 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 07/16/2014 5:06:47 AM PDT by servo1969

Welcome to America!

The Obama administration has awarded a $50 million contract to a charitable group to buy a Texas resort hotel and transform it in to a 600 bed facility for juvenile illegal aliens.

palm aire resort
The beautiful Palm Aire resort and hotel has an indoor Olympic sized pool and an outdoor pool. Free Wi-Fi and cable TV are included in the simply decorated guest rooms.

The Palm Aire Hotel and Suites is set to be sold to Baptist Child & Family Services (BCFS) operating under a federal contract, pending local government approval, according to reports from Weslaco, Texas where the hotel is located. Weslaco is a few miles north of the Rio Grande in Hidalgo County.

The resort hotel for illegal alien children is reportedly the ‘first in the nation’.

The Palm Aire includes tennis courts, a laundromat and a snack bar.

The plan is to have the hotel ready for illegal alien children ages 12 to 17 by October 1st of this year, a mere two-and-half months from now. It is expected the average stay will be about fifteen days.

The Palm Aire Hotel and Suites currently advertises amenities such as two outdoor swimming pools—one Olympic sized—Jacuzzis, sauna, steam room, two racquetball courts, outdoor tennis courts, picnic area with grills and a fitness center with twenty machines and free weights.

A luxurious fitness center is on site at the Weslaco Palm Aire Hotel and Suites. Guests can also wind down in the sauna after a long trip.

Attracted to the space for outdoor recreation at the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites, BCFS spoke of building a soccer field at the hotel and adding a perimeter fence.

BCFS plans to employ 650 people at the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites, which would mean slightly over one worker per illegal alien child. According to the BCSF Website, the charity’s jobs pay from $10 to $45 per hour.

KRGV-TV quoted a BCFS spokeswoman about the purpose of buying the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites:

“It’s going to be an intake facility, which serves as a lot like a hospital emergency room,” Krista Piferrer, BCFS VP External Affairs said.

“”We’ve all seen the photos and the videos of children in crowded Border Patrol facilities. What this site is going to allow to happen is quickly move those children out of Border Patrol cells and triage them,” Piferrer said.”

BCFS plans for the facility to be “completely self-contained” with Piferrer telling KRGV-TV, ‘medical staff will be on hand so children with diseases or injuries will not be transferred to local hospitals.’

Piferrer told the Valley Morning Star the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites facility would ‘(provide) medical and mental health care, on-site educational programs, recreational programs and case management.’

According to a Hidalgo County commissioner, the BCFS contract for the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites is an annual one worth $50 million per year. It is not part of the $3.7 billion emergency funding for the illegal alien invasion requested by the Obama administration as the bill hasn’t yet passed but it is a good indication of where the money will go.

Our family has never had the money to stay in such a luxurious place. But our taxes are funding this resort for the invaders.

Why are the Baptists running a money laundering operation for the Obama administration?

Investigators from the FBI, the state AG's office, the Weslaco govt, the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office and the Police Department should try to unravel how this real estate deal is being facilitated.

It might appear to be operating legitimately on the surface but with millions of untraceable tax dollars being handed out---problems could start surfacing later---maybe as part of a long-orchestrated plot w/ foreign governments.

Could also be an attempt to throw tax dollars at a plummeting real estate market.

Problems might include:

- forged deeds and sales of property;

- taking millions of tax dollars for land deals without fulfilling the intended purpose;

- use of fake title company to close land deals;

- taking tax dollars for sub rose purposes--other than those intended.

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

Are any of our tax dollars going to the Central American countries sending hordes of illegals over the border? NOTE: The prospects of wire-transfer remittances reportedly generated the emptying out of Central American villages onto speeding trains.

TALKING POINTS---THE FOREIGN AID MODUS OPERANDI ---Former Guatemala Prez used US banks to launder millions (swindler was elected to "redistribute" the nation's wealth) An ex-president of Guatemala faced charges in NY that he used US banks to launder millions looted from his impoverished nation. Alfonso Portillo took office in 2000 pledging to redistribute Guatemala’s wealth.

Portillo, 61, allegedly ran scams to drain the impoverished country's coffers. The feds say Portillo embezzled about $2.5M provided by the Taiwanese embassy....$1.5 million was earmarked for “Libraries for Peace”....books for school kids.

Portillo personally endorsed three, $500,000 checks issued against an account at the Intl Bank of China in Manhattan, then deposited the cash in the Miami bank account of a Guatemalan bank controlled by “a close associate and political supporter” .....the money was funneled to bank accounts in Paris in the names of Portillo’s ex-wife and daughter.

Portillo swindled nearly $4M defense funds ...and plundered the national bank run by his alleged co-conspirator through overdrafts financed by public reserves -- stolen money paid for expensive watches and cars, for himself and his associates, according to the indictment. (Source: NY POST news report 5/28/13.)

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

Time to mobilize the Bank Secrecy Act----to follow the paper trail of tax dollars, foreign aid and US govt agency foreign disbursements, and determine how govt monies changes hands.

Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of government insiders ability to collude in sub rosa deals and who might be personally profiting from the realty deal.

<><> L/E needs to examine Central American bank accounts.

<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer govt funds from one account to another, and/or wo=ire-transferred offshore;

<><> To cover their tracks, fake govt invoices might be created to show that govt money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate govt purposes.

<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of govt funds for insiders' personal use and/or for redistribution schemes.

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

NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.

Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.

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

<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.

L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.

<><> L/E should scrutinize bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.

<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures---or to finance campaign activities (and/or other redistribution schemes favored by the WH).

Tax fraud may also be a factor; facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from DHS accounts into personal accounts, campaign accounts, or into redistribution schemes.

<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, lengthy resort stays....... and gifts from luxury outlets for wives and mistresses (earmarked and campaign activities, or other redistribution schemes).

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

Taxpayers demand the Bank Secrecy Act be used to prosecute govt fraud, pronto.

SAMPLE LETTER TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
Taxpayers are urged to notify the FBI now.
FBI TIPS PAGE https://tips.fbi.gov
EMAIL enforcement@sec.gov

SUBJECT: Collusion, conspiracy, and bribery
IN RE: tax-exempt financial irregularities
REFERENCE: foreign aid govt fraud, falsified documents, wire transfers, accounting fraud, etc.

NARRATIVE Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of multiple conspiracies by to collude in sub rosa deals to personally profit and/or to facilitate redistribution schemes of US foreign aid.

OF INTEREST TO LAW ENFORCEMENT The FBI should interrogate individuals for evidence of multiple schemes to falsify official documents to further insider schemes. The FBI should investigate any and all tax-exempt official documents submitted by foreign aid recipients.

Crimes might include---conspiracy, collusion, falsifying offical documents (a felony), money laundering, tax evasion, extorting taxpayers, theft of govt monies, misuse of public office and government positions.

Examine all tax returns with a fine-tooth comb.....especially entries for "interest income."

Where the hell is the Congress on this “donation”? If they allow this to happen, we need to eliminate every damn one of them.

All for it. Have been for quite a few years.

The $3.8 billion they have not yet voted on would pay for it. We must not allocate this money.

It's astonishing to watch politicians, so-called "journalists", and other self-appointed experts wringing their hands in confusion and trying desperately to explain what's going on--when it's obvious to anyone honest and courageous enough to face truth.

The so-called "Border Crisis"/"Immigration Crisis" is part of a well calculated, Machiavellian scheme, carefully designed to transform America permanently and forever--in fact, to destroy the United States as it has been and to replace it with something else:

If America can be flooded with enough Third World immigrants who benefit, via the government, from the largesse of the American people, they will inevitably be granted citizenship and voting rights and can be expected to keep in power and vote into power the politicians who will keep the benefits flowing to them.

Such politicians can expect to remain in power permanently.

Such checks and balances as Presidential term limits can be eliminated, if enough such new voters can be imported, and the benefits to self-serving politicians are obvious.

The U.S. Constitution can be altered--or eliminated--as benefits those in power.

Those in power can remain in power for life.

Do you really think the power-hungry politicians of Washington have not thought of this???

Do you think they have not long lusted for just such an opportunity as this?

Do you think they are unaware of how the Julio-Claudian Dynasty overthrew the Roman Republic, promising wealth, bread, and circuses to the masses, and established the Imperium?

Do you think they don't dream of the luxuries and wealth and power that will come to them if they can establish themselves as rulers of an American Imperium?

Do you think they are not ruthless enough to pull if off if they can?

The entire scheme is obvious...

...but--unfortunately--those who will not see are the blindest of all.

We need to find out which banks are facilitating this deal.
Which banks are designated the repositories of our tax dollars?

REFERENCE SOURCE: web site / occ.gov

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency processes questions and complaints concerning consumer issues within the jurisdiction of the OCC through our Consumer Assistance Group (CAG) (and sends misdirected complaints to the appropriate federal or state regulator).

OCC processes complaints involving national banks and federal savings associations with more than $10 billion in assets on behalf of the CFPB, while the CFPB builds its capacity to handle complaints. Under this approach, the CFPB will begin by handling credit card related complaints involving national banks and federal savings associations with assets of $10 billion or more and will expand its complaint process to other products and services offered as the new bureau builds that capacity through March 2012.

Consumers can contact the bureau through its Web site, consumerfinance.gov, or by phone at 855-411-2372. Consumers may use the FFIEC site to identify a financial institution's primary regulator, or may use the FDIC institution directory to identify which institutions have more than $10 billon in assets.

For specific problems with a financial institution other than a national bank, contact the customer assistance:
(1) State Banking Department WRT a state bank
(2) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), or,
(3) the Federal Reserve for federally chartered banks.

I hadn’t read that congress had authorized such an expenditure. That would suggest that the money came from money already budgeted to someone else. Who that somebody else is is what i would like to know.

I see that the bill will not cover this resort. The money is coming from other places. Still, we mustn’t allocate this money. It will go to similar boondoggles and subversive endeavors. Hold up this money and we will serve to slow things down, or even put a stop to them. Gowdy is right: Congress’s power is the power of the purse. Let’s use it.

IMO, going through the city bureaucracy is pointless, so I looked up the City social media page

I'm no longer on Facebook, so I started a hashtag #saynoWestlaco.

Maybe if these yutzes get hammered all morning, they'll put the brakes on this stupidity.
