RE: Baptist Child and Family Services (BCFS)
(Via Jetstream research) This caught my eye: U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said Thursday the senator plans to visit the McAllen Border Patrol station and speak at the Hispanic Baptist Convention at the city’s convention center on Sunday.
And I wondered what Baptists have to do with the illegals. The annual Hispanic Baptist Convention was held in McAllen, Texas June 29th to July 1st. [ https://tinyurl.com/kh9549z ] It coincidentally was held just in time to respond to the “Humanitarian CRISIS”!!!  (otherwise known as an Obama Open Border Invasion).
At the convention, training was provided by the Immigration Service and Aid Center (ISAAC) who are also scheduled to train in San Antonio, then Florida followed by Dallas in the coming weeks and months. The ISAAC project is a mission of the Baptist General Convention of Texas (Texas Baptists). [ https://isaacproject.org/ ]
So what training does ISAAC provide? How illegals can fight for and save their own countries or why countries should repatriate its wayward citizens? Hmm, ahh, eh? Well their training program has all the topic details: [ https://isaacproject.org/training.htm ]
So then I started noticing more participation, coordination, and security being provided by Texas Baptist groups.  One of whom has taken to calling themselves Brown Shirts, according to the following report:
Texas Baptists are there to help: “The sources said workers were guarded by a security force from the Baptist Family & Children’s Services, which the Department of Health and Human Services hired to run the Lackland Camp. The sources say security forces called themselves the ‘Brown Shirts.’ She said the workers were stripped of their cellphones and other communication devices. Anyone caught with a phone was immediately fired.”  [  https://tinyurl.com/mrr9vuw ]
“Among the groups offering to help is Texas Baptist Men, which is already providing laundry and shower facilities at a Brownsville immigrant youth camp.” [  https://tinyurl.com/q88zstt ]
When the children are transferred to HHS care, many are being housed temporarily at three military bases in California, Oklahoma and Texas — including Lackland Air Force Base here — because of a lack of room elsewhere.
Baptist Children’s Financial Services, a nonprofit that also has contracts with the state of Texas to provide disaster relief, is staffing Lackland’s temporary center. The charity hires workers through a medical staffing company called Favorite Staffing to watch the kids.
About 100 subcontractors often have 12-hour shifts and are paid $18 an hour, according to workers, who did not want to be identified.  [ https://tinyurl.com/p6tsku8 ]
Baptist Children’s Financial Services (BCFS) is a functionary of Texas Baptists and touts “Rooted in Texas. Branches worldwide.” Although you won’t see the Texas Baptist association referred to from the BCFS website.
Instead (See the Texas Baptists website [ https://tinyurl.com/pzzfbl6 ] which links directly to [ www.bcfs.net. ] BCFS is an organization that is extensively connected with the federal government: [ https://bcfs.net/government-partners ]
Helping the “Humanitarian CRISIS” Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins will visit an immigrant youth detention camp in South Texas Wednesday for a personal look at the problem he has offered to help solve in North Texas.
Leaders of North Texas charity organizations met with Jenkins Tuesday to help develop a Dallas County immigrant youth housing plan.
Among the groups offering to help is Texas Baptist Men, which is already providing laundry and shower facilities at a Brownsville immigrant youth camp….Texas Baptist Men is one group in a coalition called Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD).
Blame Bush: Jenkins said the Federal policy not to deport unescorted minors was established by an executive order of Former President George W. Bush in 2008.
Why would there be such interest and involvement by Texas Baptists in helping non-citizens rather than our own people who are suffering mightily under this administration?
Follow the money: Jenkins said the federal government will pay the entire cost of housing and caring for the young immigrants in Dallas County with a contract to arrange ‘wrap services.’
“That means, similar to a state school, that all needs of the child will be cared for on the facility. The child will not be free to leave the facility and go into the neighborhood to go to school or go anywhere unaccompanied,” Jenkins said….There will be a security presence there to keep the children on the location and keep others away from the location,” he said.

Does this use of the 501(c) Baptist church for political activities, in violation of our laws, bother anyone else?
