It doesn’t sound as if Governor Corbett is even aware that about 10 miles north of Allentown in a town called Schnecksville, Pennsylvania – the feds are already housing “Unaccompanied Alien Children”.   Strange, no?

Schnecksville, Pennsylvania – 1 facility – KidsPeace National Centers, Inc. [Staffed Shelter Facility] Address: 4085 Independence Drive SCHNECKSVILLE, PA 18078
HHS Grant $6,909,809 (around 173 illegals)

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Immigration continues to be a hot topic in the U.S., including in non-border states like Pennsylvania.
Friday, Gov. Tom Corbett addressed the issue and how it affects Pennsylvania, saying health is a major concern.
“We feel for these children that they are fleeing their countries,” Corbett said. “We want to make sure they are taken care of and returned to their countries. But we also are concerned about their health and what they may cause as far as health issues in the state of Pennsylvania”. (more…)

Two weeks have passed since I first asked about a dozen people to direct me to pictures of Unaccompanied Minor Children actually crossing the border.   So far not a single person at/near the border has EVER seen a minor child alone – Not ONE.

Glenn Beck went to the border today to feed the unaccompanied children.  Here’s a few of his pictures:

(Via Daily Caller) New data shows the White House has painted a false picture of the Central American migration by hiding a huge spike in “family units” who are illegally crossing the Texas border.
The data, which was dumped by the U.S. border patrol late Friday afternoon, shows that inflow of youths and children traveling without parents has doubled since 2013, to 57,525 in the nine months up to July 2014. (more…)

(Via SCF) Seven Republican senators have now been linked to the racial attacks against conservative Chris McDaniel in Mississippi.   The financial report for Thad Cochran’s super PAC was released [last] week and contains two alarming details.

First, it shows that the following seven GOP senators gave a total of $160,000 to Thad Cochran’s super PAC:

• 1. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) — $50,000 — (202) 224-2541 — Facebook — Twitter
• 2. Bob Corker (R-TN) — $30,000 — (202) 224-3344 — Facebook — Twitter
• 3. Rob Portman (R-OH) — $25,000 —  (202) 224-3353 — Facebook — Twitter
• 4. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) — $25,000 — (202) 224-5251 — Facebook — Twitter
• 5. Richard Burr (R-NC) — $20,000 — (202) 224-3154 — Facebook — Twitter
• 6. Roy Blunt (R-MO) — $5,000 — (202) 224-5721 — Facebook — Twitter
• 7. Mike Crapo (R-ID) — $5,000 — (202) 224-6142 — Facebook — Twitter

Second, it shows that the PAC then gave a similar amount to a liberal group to run racial attacks against Chris McDaniel.
These Decepticon senators fully funded ads that urged Democrats to “cross over and vote in the republican primary” and claimed that a McDaniel win would be a loss “for race relationships between blacks and whites.” (more…)

Prince William County, Virginia has become well-known in recent years for its tough stance on illegal immigration. So you can imagine how upset some local lawmakers were when they learned that the federal government had contracted to house illegal alien children in their county without informing any county officials.

On July 9th 2014 President Obama made a visit to Dallas Texas for two reasons.   The first reason was fundraising, the second reason was to meet with Governor Rick Perry and “Faith Leaders” to discuss the border crisis.
As an outcome of the visit the following AP picture became the subject of much inquisition, humor and -as typical for the progressive side of the continuum- ridicule.  Liberals love to bash Texas Governor Rick Perry.

But the more important part of this picture was never actually spotlighted.  So we’ll turn on the Q-BEAM.

Allow me to take a stab at that question. But before doing so here’s the underlying premise.
If you visit the Blaze today you’ll see the following story:

“Why Glenn Beck Says ‘Nobody’ Is Covering Ted Cruz’s Decision to Join Mercury One’s Border Relief Effort” – Glenn Beck said Friday that “nobody” in the media is covering Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) decision to join Mercury One’s border relief effort because the media is already starting to play “presidential games.”

Mercury One, the charity Glenn Beck founded, will be in McAllen, Texas, on Saturday, passing out roughly $2 million in food, water, clothing and toys to illegal immigrant children. Beck and a number of volunteers will be there to help.

But as Beck said, while many news outlets, including MSNBC, have reported on the relief effort, few have said anything about Cruz’s involvement.

“Why is nobody covering this?” Beck asked on his radio program Friday. “This came out yesterday. This is a big deal. Why is no one covering that Ted Cruz is going down to the border for a relief program?” (link)

After poring through 3 days of immigration analysis this report does the best job of putting the proposals into context.   Things are not what they are espoused to be:

Analysis of Title I “Helping Unaccompanied Minors and Alleviating National Emergency (HUMANE) Act” (aka. the Cuellar / Cornyn bill)

WASHINGTON DC […]  The administration has been steadily increasing its projections of the number who will cross this year and next, as if either preparing the public, or — an unsettling notion — itself for the deluge yet to come. As is well known, the president declared a humanitarian emergency in order to tap resources from multiple agencies. His administration has also requested $3.7 billion in emergency supplemental funding to handle the crisis.
Confronted with the seeming inability of the administration to get a handle on the problem, Congress has convened hearings at which the secretaries of the departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and Health and Human Services (HHS) and other senior officials have testified as to their plans and strategies, none of which appear to have had any significant ameliorative effect on the flow to date.
Many officials, and some members of Congress, have pointed to the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) as at least partly responsible for the problems in efficiently processing and quickly repatriating aliens, which is generally recognized as a necessary deterrent to others considering the journey by showing them that the United States is serious about its border enforcement.

Israel launches ground attack into Gaza to defend themselves. A Russian missile shots down a civilian passenger airliner killing 290 people including 23 American Citizens. The Southern U.S. border is under siege, and against the backdrop the State Department responds thusly:

With U.S. priorities like this, is it really any wonder why President Obama would choose to continue his scheduled fundraising tour ?

WASHINGTON DC – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday called for a halt to “dangerous” levels of violence in Libya after militia clashes in Tripoli closed the country’s main airport, destroyed most planes parked there, and prompted the United Nations to evacuate its staff.
In some of the worst violence in months, at least 15 people have been killed in clashes in Tripoli and the eastern city of Benghazi since Sunday, and a Libyan official said several Grad rockets hit the Tripoli International Airport on Monday, damaging the control tower.
With its new government struggling to impose order since the 2011 rebellion that ousted Muammar Gaddafi, Libya is sliding deeper into turmoil with rival brigades of former rebels battling for political and economic power. (more…)
