--SNIP--the outcry from Washington-area politicians incensed at federal plans to build new shelters for migrant children in Northern Virginia and the District . The shelters, state-licensed and similar to scores across the county in operation since before President Trump took office, would help move migrant children out of squalid, cramped Border Patrol stations near the U.S.-Mexico border. They would provide a way station for unaccompanied minors while federal officials seek to place them with U.S.-based relatives or foster families. But local politicians, nearly all Democrats, have balked at cooperating with federal authorities on any immigration matter. They have denounced the proposed new shelters with objections that smack of NIMBYism masquerading as humane concern for children. This month, the administration of D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) enacted emergency rules that blocked a planned federal shelter. The migrant community that rich Washington D.C. has encouraged for its cheap gardeners and maids -- and "can't live without" -- as the Daily Beast says, has always been insulated from the real problems of allowing all unvetted comers into the coontry. Well, now the place for the child migrant shelter is being rightly placed in an affluent part of Washington so they can live with the consequences of their choices, too. It sounds like President Trump or whoever he's got on the federal side trying to build this shelter is combining proximity to the Salvadoran illegal immigrant community - Washington's largest - with a little taste of the medicine these liberals would like to inflict on the border regions and poorer parts of the country. I can't think of a better place to put that shelter. Let them live with the result of their own hypocrisy.

Nice find Liz - it's time to 'out' our creepy elites for what they are: vicious hypocrites...
They should also locate a couple of these shelters on Martha’s Vineyard, near that recently sold $15 million property.
My thoughts, precisely.
You mean the one that sold for much lower than market price? That one? I’m guessing that is like the sale to a certain couple for their house in Chappaqua. Go figure they get all the best deals.
However....back to the point at hand.
If this is the perfect material for a deluge of tweets from the President, I don’t know what is. Hell, he should just order ICE to set it up anyway and when the residents get vocal about it, destroy them for their hypocrisy.
They’d have absolutely no defense.
and to start living with the consequences of the policies they allegedly support.
Well, when someone can take a thousand or two and make a hundred thousand in the cattle futures market like Hillary did, they’d certainly be able to get the best real estate prices, also.
bttt
Let’s just pray that MS-13 thugs and those child-age decapitators are not biased against elite pols.
JUST A HELPFUL SUGGESTION: A migrant shelter should be placed smack-dab in the middle of Elijah Cummings district.
Put the illegals and those who have been coached on how to make and then delay an asylum claim in Martha’s Vineyard too. Send the next 100,000 of them, and even leftists will support restoring the rule of law.
Pretty sure that's the method Trump's using to get them moving.
Just like Clooney when he was all for allowing migrants into the country he was currently dwelling in until he found out some would be settled close to him near his Lake Como estate then it was I’m outta here.
Great idea.
George Clooney is up in arms about having to drive past a migrant camp to get to his Spanish/French villa (or wherever it is). Love it when libs get a taste of what the serfs have to deal with.
Homeless & immigrant & women’s shelters, and also wind turbines to power them, on Martha’s Vineyard!
Show America the way!
The expansion of fedgov hasn't helped either.
Inside the Evil Beltway Elites and Establishment bozos show their REAL COLORS — “Not in My Backyard!”
A pox on their houses!
May the bluebird of happiness crap on their birthday cakes!
Yep, that is the same guy who called Trump a racist recently.. Pot, kettle....
Takoma Park, perfect! A tide pool of left wing elitists . Buenas suerte!
“Let [Democrats] live with the result of their own hypocrisy.”
This needs to happen on a DAILY basis. Has it ever? Not in my lifetime.
Go, President Trump! Hit them where they live! MAGA! :)
