BIG UPDATE— Baptist Child and Family Services Withdraws Bid for Palm Aire Resort (Video)
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 7/16/14 | Jim Hoft

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’.

Now this…
Due to backlash the charity received after the story was posted on The Drudge Report, Baptist Child and Family Services withdrew it’s bid for the Palm Aire Resort.

The charity said it was disappointed and that the resort would have been perfect for the illegal alien children.

Wowsa....good research. That’s over 2.5 million just going to those top positions in the BCFS.

It would be very difficult to resist some of the temptations of such a high-dough venture.

I have to wonder about some of these big-dough positions. Are these people donating most of the associated income, which is urged in the bible? Being owned by one’s wealth — letting your earthly possessions define who you are rather than what resources you are operating with — is an easy trap to fall into.

I’m not sure any “we” is to credit there.

Looks much more like there was still enough of a link to the Lord to queer such an overall ungodly deal. I don’t think these Baptists would have been able to evangelize in this situation, so the only real rationale for doing it was gone.

But there is such a thing as tainted dough. It looks like they were more sensitive to it on the Baptist side than the Catholic side would be.

Wow, really? Jeez Hi, way to bring people around to seeing ‘the truth’.

They got BUSTED. Nothing more, nothing less.

Catholic side has been far more brassy given the same kind of revelation. Busting the shameless is a futile endeavor.

Has the feds been eyeballing the Alamo? They could probably get several hundred illegals into that facility. They could turn it into an illegal alien theme park with little tunnels, rivers to run through. An Autopia where they could play virtual auto pursuits. Play games to make federal agency's compete to see how many tax dollars they can give them.

U.S. tax payer pinatas throughout the park!

BCFS is as Baptist as Westboro. On their own webpage they list their partners, and every one of them is a government agency. No Baptist churches, or any other churches. They are a government contractor, not a Baptist Church.

They aren’t Baptists. They are government contractors, with no known ties to any Baptist Churches.

They already got millions. The 50 million for the resort will now be spent secretly somewhere else.

Isn’t it just hunky dory that this outfit wants to “buy” the resort with taxpayer money then get paid with taxpayer money to run it. I guarantee this is mostly a money laundering operation. And the “officers” of this entity aren’t the only ones getting big bucks.

And this is only one “charity”. There are probably hundreds. Could it be this entire border crashing is just a front for money laundering and theft?

That is the plan.

The punk keeps poking the REAL bear in hopes of being able to declare martial law.

” I don’t think these Baptists would have been able to evangelize in this situation”... As noted by reserach99 in post 11 I’d question what the real motive was? This is a religious organization?? Are any that get the amount of funds we’re hearing about religious? Funded by Gov’t to such an extent? Just like the States, take these funds so long as you do “X”. Little by little and step by step, he who pays calls the tune.

Too much resistance by “outside forces” may have shut this deal down. Too bad there isn’t MORE resistance by the people.

Just think of how "perfect" it would be for AMERICAN children!

Or any American! Hell's bells, I'm over fifty and worked most my life....but I could never afford to splurge on staying in a resort like that.

Guess I've been doing this work-hard-and-follow-the-law thing all wrong.

Well, we both know he’s trying to destroy this nation.

You, like me, think in terms of him doing this naively, when we both know deep in our hearts that this is his master plan.

I agree. He’s not alone though. The whole government has been gearing up for something. I think they’re all hoping for martial law. I have no idea why.

Perhaps they’re scared to death the populace is waking up to their treachery.

Hell, that is what the whole of our Federal Government is about anymore.
