Anything to create a larger appeal to South America and Mexico to continue the crisis.   Detention centers now evolving to “Transitional Retreat Residences”;  Detainees now called “residents”, and guards now “resident advisors”.

Personally I think Glenn Beck and Dana Loesch should replace Ricardo Montalban and Hervé Villechaize .  And greet each new set of arriving “residents” with smiles, “everyone, smiles” !!

KARNES CITY, Texas (KXAN) — A 29-acre facility which previously housed male illegal immigrants detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has a makeover and a new purpose. The building nearly 100 miles south of Austin in Karnes City, Texas will now be the temporary home for immigrant women and children detained at the border.
It will also be a much more family friendly environment.
“I am pretty sure you will agree this is nothing like we have seen before,” said ICE field office director Enrique Lucero during Thursday’s media tour of the facility.
Previously, the people being held at the facility were called detainees. Now they will be called residents. Guards are now called resident advisors. Even the facility itself will be referred to as a resident center rather than a detention center.

The number of “non liberal” media pundits and reporters must be less than a handful.  It seems like every single day you can find yet another one showcasing their inherent character traits.   Each one trying to raise the bar on who’s the bigger moonbat.
He’s linking to this story.  

Gaza City (CNN)at least temporarily.  U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced Thursday that an unconditional humanitarian cease-fire will begin at 8 a.m. Friday in Gaza (1 a.m. ET).
It will last 72 hours — or three days — “unless extended,” the United Nations and United States said in a joint statement.

“During this time, the forces on the ground will remain in place,” the statement said.   Hamas accepted the cease-fire, a spokesman for the militant fundamentalist Islamic organization texted Thursday.

Speaking to CNN moments after the announcement, Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat said it came “after careful deliberations with all the parties.”  (read more)

Another example of how governmental agencies feel empowered by the Obama administration to weaponize their departments against their adversaries.   The common thread is their collective belief ‘the people’ are the enemy.
The DOJ has been spotlighted as “targeting” domestic enemies to include investigations of the media – and lies to federal courts to gain warrants (ie. James Rosen).   The EPA has been spotlighted as “targeting” domestic enemies such as farmers and natural foods suppliers.   The IRS has been spotlighted as “targeting” domestic enemies to include conservative groups, Tea Party groups and pro-Israel groups.  So why wouldn’t the CIA also take the same approach to “target” their enemy, the oversight from congress?
WASHINGTON DC – CIA Director John Brennan apologized to Senate intelligence committee leaders after his inspector general found that CIA employees acted improperly when the CIA searched Senate computers earlier this year.
Agency spokesman Dean Boyd said in an email to The Associated Press on Thursday that Brennan has convened an accountability board that will investigate the conduct of the CIA officers and discipline them, if need be.
The Justice Department has so far declined to pursue criminal charges against the employees, who searched the computers for information gathered in the course of a Senate investigation into the CIA’s interrogation techniques. (more…)

Previously three different United Nations run schools in Gaza were found housing Hamas missiles and rockets for use against Israel.   The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA)  claimed they had no idea the rockets were there, and no idea how they got there.  Now it is revealed a UN Clinic was built upon an entrance to numerous tunnels used to move weapons around Gaza, and the clinic was booby-trapped with explosives built into the walls of the clinic.   UNRWA is actively collaborating with Hamas.
ISRAEL – New details have emerged about the booby-trapped clinic explosion that killed three IDF Maglan unit soldiers in Gaza earlier this week – Sergeant First Class Matan Gottlieb, 21, from Rishon LeZion; Sergeant First Class Omar Chai, 21, from Savion; and Sergeant First Class Guy Algranati, 20, of Tel Aviv, hy”d.
Over eighty kilograms of explosives were built into the UN-funded hospital’s walls themselves, it was cleared for publication Thursday – revealing that the clinic itself was built to mask, and perform, potential acts of terror on the IDF.
Moreover, the clinic was built over tens of terror tunnels, according to the report. (more…)

Further polling evidence of why President Obama will not confront any community who opposes his administration’s unlawful plans to embed illegal aliens.

(Via Breitbart)   A new AP-GfK polls is all around bad news for President Obama, Democrats, and a mainstream media determined to push his amnesty agenda. Not only is public approval souring towards Obama’s handling of the issue and the idea of a path to citizenship for illegals and the policy of offering  asylum for this wave of Central American children, a plurality now see the Republican Party as better able to handle the issue of immigration.
When asked about the President’s handling of the immigration issue, only 31% said they approve while a whopping 68% disapprove. That’s a 14 point shift against the president since the middle of May, when he sat at 38% approve, 60% disapprove. (more…)

NEW MEXICO – The federal government’s new facility to house illegal immigrant families surging across the border has been put on lockdown because of chicken pox, with no immigrants allowed to be transferred in or out, a congressman said this week.
Hundreds of illegal immigrants being kept at the campus of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, New Mexico, are being treated for and vaccinated against chicken pox after an outbreak, said Rep. Steve Pearce, the Republican congressman whose district includes Artesia.
“As the FLETC facility reaches maximum capacity, I am increasingly concerned for the health and safety of the women and children at FLETC and for the local community. The virus, that has caused two residents to be put in isolation, has halted all departures,” Mr. Pearce said. (more…)

I know the general sight of an almost two hour video is alarming, let along a congressional hearing….. Yikes.
…… but if you forward the video to the 1:04:00 mark I think you might enjoy more than several minutes of the back and forth.

In our estimation the bottom line reason for the secrecy is simple.  There are few, very few, unaccompanied children.  If reporters actually went to the facilities -which only house people for 30 to 35 days average- they would find families, and/or women with children, not unaccompanied alien minors.   
The administration wants to keep up the ruse of tens of thousands of poor innocent children.    That false impression is what gives the administration public support and simultaneously keeps their opponents from undermining them.  That’s why Glenn Beck and Dana Loesch were so stupid in the teddy bears and footballs tour.  They gave credibility to the false claims, undermined opposition to the illegal influx and as a direct consequence, undermined the rule of law.  

WASHINGTON DC – The Obama administration is concealing key details about its response to the surge of unaccompanied children illegally crossing the southern border, including where the unaccompanied minors are being sheltered and the circumstances under which some are set free inside the U.S.
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill say the lack of information has handicapped their push to pass legislation to gain a handle on the surge — a debate taking place this week in both chambers. (more…)
