As reported earlier today by Kristinn Taylor…
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.
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’.
But it won’t be the last…
The Obama administration gifted the Baptist Child & Family Services (BCFS) $190,707,505 this month to build offices in six cities and four states. This was after he met with the group last week in Texas.
The new offices will be located in New York, NY; Miami, FL; Houston, TX; Dallas, TX; Sacramento-area, CA; and Los Angeles-area, CA, will serve as regional hubs for BCFS’ new family support and evaluation programs.
Baptist Child & Family Services (BCFS) is expanding nationwide.
The Baptist Child and Family Services sent out this press release this month.
BCFS, a global health and human services organization headquartered in Texas, today announced the expansion of its International Children’s Services program to serve unaccompanied foreign youth throughout the country. The new offices, located in New York, NY; Miami, FL; Houston, TX; Dallas, TX; Sacramento-area, CA; and Los Angeles-area, CA, will serve as regional hubs for BCFS’ new family support and evaluation programs.
BCFS will lead these programs as part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services – Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) strategic plan to provide safe and stable homes for international youth who are granted permission to stay with family or sponsors already living in the country.
“We are excited to expand our successful International Children’s Services program nationwide. Under the care and leadership of our new national and regional directors, countless children and families will receive the support they need to start their new lives off right,” said Asennet Segura, BCFS Executive Director – Residential Services Division. “As BCFS works toward meeting this mission, we look forward to forging new friendships and partnerships throughout these new regions.”

I wish I was an illegal, it seems lucrative
Where is he getting the money to spend? I doubt that Congress put it in the budget.
That old liberal “Church and State” thingy seems to have been swept under Obama’s Muslim Prayer Rug again.
WHAT!
Off with their heads! All of them.
I hope that a lot of blacks who voted for “the messiah” will, when they find out about this story, understand that he is just another lying politician who USED THEM and LIED TO THEM. I hope that wonder why they didn’t get to stay in such a resort, whereas a bunch of Latino kids will do so.
Oh, and I don’t give a rat’s ass if someone thinks that this sentimet or these word are “racist.”
Maybe this will get the Crybaby of Congress to consider impeachment???
And it continues unabated and unchallenged.
I wonder what the age limit is for “resort hotels for illegal alien children.”
Good thing we don’t have poor living on poverty and in ghettos here./s
“...that wonder...” should be “...that they wonder...”
This sounds mentally ill.
And the dear governor of Texas knows nothing.BAHAHAHAHAHA, what does the boy have on this one. This is soooo sick
PFL
---- Do I believe blacks would start voting republican? No but they may not be as excited to turnout and vote for democrats.
So I take it he just did it, with nary a word of protest from Congress, who just got bypassed yet again.
Going to really help all the blacks who voted for Barry!
Illegal entry —> Summary Deportation.
You don’t get housing, food, medical care, or a resort.
There are a lot of “non profit” organizations salivating at the chance to make obscene profits from this orchestrated invasion. They probably prepared their bids for the gubmint contracts months ago.
I guess nobody knows, ‘cause we went through all the responses to #18, and nobody answered you.
I can only guess there’s some change left from all the money they stole from us under TARP.
