Unaccompanied Minors Released on Lavish Vacation Spot, Virgin Islands
BREITBARTTV ^ | August 4, 2014 | Kristin Tate

HOUSTON, Texas -- Several unaccompanied minors who entered the U.S. illegally have been relocated to and released where many U.S. citizens cannot afford to bring their own families on vacation: the Virgin Islands.

SNIP

a Health and Human Services (HHS) document shows that four were set free in the U.S. Virgin Islands. A spokesman from HHS verified this fact to Breitbart Texas.

The picturesque Virgin Islands, located in the Caribbean, are a thriving destination for well-to-do tourists. Many could find irony in the fact that most U.S. taxpayers, who are footing the bill to ship illegal immigrants to the tropical paradise, cannot afford to take a vacation there themselves.

It is unclear why the unaccompanied minors would be released on the Virgin Islands; it takes more than five hours to fly there from McAllen, a border city in South Texas. That is a significantly longer trip than the flight to Central America, where almost all of the minors are migrating from.

Money appears to be no object for the federal government, with regards to flying illegal immigrants to cities across the U.S. In July Breitbart Texas revealed that the Department of Homeland Security requested $87 million for the transportation of illegal immigrants, who are most often flown via charter plane, for Fiscal Year 2015.

So far this year, the feds have flown and released illegal immigrants to locations as far as Alaska and Hawaii.

SNIP

Prior to being released onto U.S. soil, most of the illegal immigrants spend a relatively short amount of time in a federal housing facilities. Some such shelters have recently come under scrutiny for providing the migrants with taxpayer-subsidized luxuries such as all-you-can-eat buffets, flat screen televisions, Internet access, and hair salons.

This is called Communism. Up is down, down is up. It's meant to not have any
structure to confuse the little people into thinking maybe they're just dumb and don't get it.

I'm not kidding. This is how it works.

Are there accommodations for them at any of these places?

I read that those taking them in are being paid $700 and up per child, per month. These costs are ongoing and recurring every month. And being paid other money to create the accomodations. Multiply this by many thousands if not hundreds of thousands. Welfare on steroids, a lucrative business for some. A nightmare for us taxpayers burdened with out-of-control federal budgets.

There are many areas of the Virgin Islands that are dirt poor. There are also middle-classish resort areas and uber-welathy areas. Without further detail, I’d be hesistant to make any sort of conclusion from this article, since there is utterly nothing you can believe any more.

In 1980 Hurricane Hugo damaged or destroyed 90 percent of the buildings on St. Croix. The local population went bat shit crazy looting what was left. Over 1000 US Army troops were sent in to restore order.

Not exactly a well to do population there.

On a thread about how Australia keeps their illegals on remote islands, the US Virgin Islands might be just the place for them. I’ve never been there, but a co-worker who went wouldn’t care to return. Let them have it; in fact, after filling it, give them (the islands) back to Denmark.

A teacher I know (who rides the bilingual gravy train teaching Hispanics - egal and otherwise) has seen scabies for years in her classroom (in northern NJ). We’ve had a de facto amnesty for years, and the neglect she witnesses is horrible. Anchor babies coming to school without coats in the winter and such...they are fitting right in with the unassimilated permanent underclass here.

I’ve maintained on many threads that they are being imported to different areas just to keep our government workers (teachers, cops, social workers, judges, prison guards, etc.) employed; that is what the concept of a “sanctuary city” is. Without trafficking these illegals around the country, whole areas would be ghost towns (and unemployment would be even higher).

The liberals in control of your Federal government hate you, and think ALL you own is THIERS! That’s the bottom line.

Had a teacher (and I have a great relationship with them) told me in confidence....that they weren’t allowed to fail the Hispanic students. Really burned her up.

That has been going on for decades with black students (social promotion); it has gone beyond high school diplomas to the college level.

The best employment screen (for many types of white-collar work) is a simple essay as part of the application process; you would be shocked at how illiterate people with “credentials” can be. While the term “gentleman’s C” was batted around in discussing Bush II’s education, the fact is that there is a huge disparity between whites and unassimilated minorities when it comes to education, and grades are doctored to mask it. “No Child Left Behind” was intended to pressure poorly-performing schools to adress the unequal outcomes, and the result was a grade-fixing scandal that continues to this day.

Growing up (about thirty years ago), a white friend was on track to fail seventh grade for the third time. Because the administration felt he was too big and mature to be around real seventh graders, he was simply put into his freshman year in high school instead; he never spent a day in eighth grade (and never passed seventh grade).
