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

Taxpayer funds covered free laptops, big screen TVs, $75 per child per day for food, pregnancy tests, and “multicultural crayons”

(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 BCFS’s contract was October 1, 2013, but it was signed on June 27, 2014. The project’s 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 BCFS’s Incident Management Team for just four months’ work. Obama’s 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 Obama’s illegal nullification of our nation’s immigration laws.”

Gee no wonder the clerics want to grant amnesty to the illegals. They make money off their plight.

I think Catholic Charities was in on the “take”, as well.

It’s just one BIG kickback apparatus, if you ask me.

This is theft of public funds by the Baptists.

Baptist Children & Family Services has no relationship to the Baptist church.

The non-profit is, in fact, in the process of dropping Baptist from its name. Virtually all of its income is derived from government grants -- it has been a cat's paw for liberal causes for years.

That is for only 2400. 60,000 would cost us?

More to Southwest Key Programs which was founded by a guy who is a board member of La Raza. Nice little comfy relationship they have there, eh? Doling out YOUR tax dollars to invade your country and take away more of YOUR tax dollars and YOUR vote...I gathered those figures for some people who were supposed to bring it up in hearings long ago.

Thanks, when I checked their website the word Babtist was nowhere to be found, that explains it.

$88,293 per IMT member for the four-month period

WE paid the community organizer professional agitator types $88,293 for a four-month position that was essentially the job of agitating for the need to hire community organizer professional agitator types that we should pay $88,293.

Because homeless kids.

BCFS is about as Baptist as is the Westboro Baptist Church.

Thanks for the ping. This is outrageous!

I knew this was coming. But I had no idea it would be this egregious.

What is truly outrageous is not only did the government pay this amount (and it is very liking still adding up) but then when questioned about how much it was costing the answer was “religious and charity organizations are providing care” with no mention the organizations were being PAID by taxpayers!!!

Let me guess, Baptist Children and Family Services (BCFS) is a spinoff of the leftist political slush fund formerly known as ACORN.
