Update at 3:25 p.m.: Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins has announced three possible sites that will house the 2,000 unaccompanied immigrant children he expects to arrive by the end of July: D.A. Hulcy Middle School, the Lamar Alternative Education Program in Grand Prairie and a Parkland Memorial Hospital warehouse on 2420 Butler Road.
Jenkins says these sites have not been vetted, and “some may drop off the list.” He says others may replace them as well.
These three have been “found viable of the dozens of sites we have looked at so far,” he said at the press conference. These buildings, one of which is an empty Dallas Independent School District facility, are ones the county believes “are the most viable to accommodate the children.”
But, he said, it is “not a foregone conclusion all of these sites will be used, and we have got to continue the vet process,” Jenkins said. “One or more than one could fall out.”
He also said the county wants to “hear from the community” before the locations are OK’d.
“I hope as we deal with the community and move forward the community will keep in mind this is about compassion to children, and here in North Texas we don’t turn our back on children.”

Got it.

I don't see Texas Baptist Men giving them a plane ticket back to El Salvador or Honduras.
And I supported Dan Patrick over Dewhurst in 2014.
You are really desperate.
It's not their job.
Providing the use of shower and laundry facilities to mitigate the health problems of the invasion is an appropriate response.
How about you direct your anger at John Cornyn(R), who is just fine with the invasion?
/johnny
/johnny
How about calling for them to return to their home country. Texas Baptist Men aren't doing that.
I also voted against Cornyn in the primary.
Another strawman gone.
The churches are making tons of $$$ from the govt for cooperating in this fiasco. Catholics,Baptists, first in line here in TX.
Yep, they are taking our money.
Your vocal support of Dewhurst, at a critical time in the election (a week before the run-off where Dewhurst lost by 14%) overwhelms any silent support you may have had for other candidates later.
And like Perry's support of Gore, it won't go away.

“Judge” Clay Jenkins is busy setting up secret meetings with non-profits, churches etc to figure out how to get these kids up here without any demonstrations like they had in California. The meetings are “closed”. They will bring them up here secretly rest assured.
What do you want motivated activists that retired Dewhurst to his ranch to do?
/johnny
Anyway good try to hijack this thread to protect Texas Baptist Men and Clay Jenkins in their enabling of this invasion.
I'm seeing a reaction, not enabling.
I'll repeat my question, Biff.
What do you want motivated activists that retired Dewhurst to his ranch to do?
What is your plan?
/johnny
I saw Clay Jenkins on TV and he is not as cocky as he was on Saturday.
He knows that this is not popular.
Other than attacking someone reporting on the invasion.
Burning shoe leather was required to get rid of Dewhurst from the political scene.
You need a better plan.
Granted... my plan of sending them back in barrels probably won't get much traction, even though I think I can get the Texas Trebouchet Society involved.
Who supports Clay Jenkins? I don't know him or of him. Does he need to be removed? Is he an at-large candidate?
All those fiddly bits have to be gone over.
/johnny
I didn't post a thread. I would have, if I had the answers.
/johnny
Not very specific to what you posted, though. Besides reminding everyone what your history is.
/johnny
It was sure nice of him to unilaterally decide to bring them to Dallas.
Oh great! I live in Grand Prairie!
