Why go to their neighborhoods? Put them in their homes.
Its only fair they should bear the burden. Its a shame they arent doing their share.
Anchor an old aircraft carrier 10 miles at sea. And set up tent cities on the main deck ...
Good for thee but not for me.
I don't know where such shelters should be located, but I suspect part of the problem is size. 200 beds is a big facility. It's big enough to spook people in residential neighborhoods. Smaller and scattered site are probably better strategies.
The good people of Takoma have reason to push back. Takoma is a middle class neighborhood with some sketchy patches in a quadrant of the city that, like so much of DC, is now starting to improve. Takoma residents don't want to be used as a dumping ground. Break the project up into smaller pieces and put homes in AU Park, Spring Valley, Kalorama, Bethesda and Chevy Chase if you want to share the burden with wealthy neighborhoods.
Cue Gomer...
"SurPRISE...SURprise!"

Halfway houses for M13 members would be nice too... maybe 5 or 6 homes with 80 ‘young men’ each. I mean these ‘boys’ aren’t animal... according to Pelosi. Right?
“MANY AMERICANS are rightly outraged by the Trump administration’s treatment of migrant children, who have been separated from parents and ill-treated by authorities.”
NOPE. They’re not. They’re being lied to by entities such as Washington Poo.
“a stance that can result in knee-jerk opposition even to sensible practices in effect during the Obama administration”
NOPE. Strike two.
“That might explain the nearly uniform outcry from Washington-area politicians incensed at federal plans to build new shelters for migrant children in Northern Virginia and the District.”
NOPE. Strike three. Thanks for playing.
No excuses. Liberals are the real racists. And their hypocrisy on this issue is blatant.
Someday, all this concern and compassion will turn to anger.
NIMBY Rats!
Put them in Speaker Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Maxine Waters offices ...
Americans demand SHELTERS
for the sickest IMMIGRANTS there,
especially for the poor IMMIGRANTS with
Ebola, smallpox and measles
which the DC Rich imported
only to murder the rest of America.
Hateful leftists are all about NIMBY but they love forcing these kinds of thing into your back yard.
JoMa
would help move migrant children out of squalid, cramped Border Patrol stations near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Well, you could build them in Mexico. Probably cheaper too, using Mexican labor.
Don’t forget to put one on Martha’s Vineyard!
The problem with the privileged they only do everything half a$$. Just pay to make it go away. They don’t want to see the problems of the world.
Why not put them in some of those Beverly Hills mansions, behind walls that will keep them save from angry citizens. <sarcasm
