Full title: Judicial Watch: Documents Reveal Obama HHS Paid Baptist Children and Family Services $182,129,786 for Four Months Housing of Illegal Alien Children
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced today that on September 9, 2014, it received documents from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) revealing that the Obama administration paid Baptist Children and Family Services (BCFS) $182,129,786 to provide basic shelter care to 2,400 unaccompanied alien children (UAC) for four months in 2014. The BCFS budget included charges for $104,215,608 for UACs at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and an additional $77,914,178 for UACs at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.
The start date of BCFSs contract was October 1, 2013, but it was signed on June 27, 2014. The projects end date of September 30, 2016, suggests that the Obama administration anticipates that the surge will continue until near the end of his presidency.
According to the documents obtained by Judicial Watch, the cost to the American taxpayer was $86,846.34 per illegal alien child at Ft. Sill, for a total to $104,215,608 for 1,200 UACs from June 12 to October 18. The bill also included $2,648,800 in compensation for 30 members of the BCFS Incident Management Team (IMT), for a total to $88,293 per IMT member for the four-month period.
The $77,914,178 to care for 1,200 children at Lackland AFB amounted to a cost to the taxpayer of $64,928 per illegal alien child from May 18 to September 18. The Lackland bill included $20,000 for a cable television screen/projector set up and 20 shower stalls at $1,000 each.
Judicial Watch obtained the documents in response to an August 1, 2014, Freedom of Information Act request seeking BCFS applications for funding, correspondence between the HHS Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and BCFS, and correspondence within ACF relating to BCFS. The records obtained by Judicial Watch from the HHS Administration for Children and Families include the Budget Information and Project Narrative portions of the BCFS applications funded in calendar 2014 for both the Ft. Sill and the Lackland AFB facilities.
The BCFS application for the Ft. Sill facility includes the following expenses:
The BCFS application for the Lackland AFB facility includes the following in addition to many of the above:
It is outrageous that the Obama administration spent nearly $200 million of taxpayer funds to provide illegal alien children with the types of extravagant high-tech equipment and lavish benefits many American families cannot even afford for their own children, said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. And very few American workers are bringing home the $80,000 the Obama administration pays the BCFSs Incident Management Team for just four months work. Obamas lawlessness resulted in an illegal alien surge that has cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars in 2014. Based on his new lawless amnesty plans, we can expect hundreds of millions more in taxpayer costs for the resulting wave of illegal aliens trying to take advantage of Obamas illegal nullification of our nations immigration laws.

The emperor makes the rules when there is no controlling authority.
OUTRAGEOUS indeed to bad a Hoover type person isn’t in power bet he would be stopped.
Let me refer you to the last two elections of the Marxist, hate-America, hate-white Americans, pig in the white house. The demrats split the opposition ticket to put BO in power. Don’t be manipulated by the old media. The repubs have yet to hold much power and holding power using the rules of civil behavior is their biggest downfall.
