“We need to raise our voices, make ourselves citizens, sign up to vote and punish those who speak ill and criminalize children who come to our border”

Our continuing message to any community is the same.   Stand up, don’t be fearful: if you oppose them – they will not come.   The entire regime knows they are on the wrong side of the majority on this issue, regardless of what the media tell you. 

The regime knows the polling, the regime knows they are operating from a position of weakness.  The regime also knows the actual law is on YOUR side.  Do not be afraid to state your position.  They are illegal aliens.  Housing them is illegal.  Providing material assistance to them is illegal.   The regime fears law because they are acting unlawfully.

ALABAMA – Alabama Governor Robert Bentley’s office is shifting its statements regarding the housing of immigrant children at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery after earlier confirming the installation would be used.

The Associated Press earlier reported, citing Communications Director Jennifer Ardis, who said the governor’s chief of staff got a call from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, late Wednesday afternoon confirming the plan. Now, Ardis says it’s unclear which federal department contacted the governor’s office, but was working to clarify that information.
Now, Bentley’s office says it was notified that Maxwell is on a list of possible sites to hold the immigrants. (more…)

BCFS is to Immigration Grants what ACORN was to Community Organizing Grants.  Taxpayer Funded “Charity”…

(Kudos to Chuck Ross @Daily Caller for pulling back the curtain)  A Texas-based organization that has been awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in federal contracts by the Obama administration to house illegal immigrant children not only lobbied the federal government, but also failed to properly disclose the activity.
After The Daily Caller inquired about its lobbying disclosures, BCFS, a San Antonio-based nonprofit, now says it may correct its tax forms to properly disclose its lobbying expenditures.
The Obama administration, through the Department of Health and Human Services, has tapped BCFS, formerly known as Baptist Child & Family Services, to provide security and other services to unaccompanied children at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, and Ft. Sill army base near Lawton, Okla.
BCFS has become the largest provider of such services for the child immigrants, who are part of a massive influx of mostly Central Americans that has put the Obama administration on its heels. (more…)

There is an article in the New York Times gaining attention because the Obama proposal outlined seems ridiculous:

NYT – Hoping to stem the recent surge of migrants at the Southwest border, the Obama administration is considering whether to allow hundreds of minors and young adults from Honduras into the United States without making the dangerous trek through Mexico, according to a draft of the proposal.

If approved, the plan would direct the government to screen thousands of children and youths in Honduras to see if they can enter the United States as refugees or on emergency humanitarian grounds. It would be the first American refugee effort in a nation reachable by land to the United States, the White House said, putting the violence in Honduras on the level of humanitarian emergencies in Haiti and Vietnam, where such programs have been conducted in the past amid war and major crises.

The application window for HHS grants under the Unaccompanied Alien Children program just closed yesterday. According to the data included in the application the average length of stay for a UAC is 30-35 days prior to unification with a sponsor.
Most (95%+) of the sponsors are relatives of the child.  Most sponsors reunited are the mothers of the children (85%+) who actually brought them along and there is never a disconnect.  All sponsors are subsidized by taxpayers at an average cost of around $4,000 to $6,000 per child/per month. A custodial ‘sponsor’ (mother) with three UAC’s will net about $12,000 per month federal support from the ORR and UAC program(s).
Now that the current UAC grant application window has closed for FY2015, ORR (Office of Refugee Resettlement) has released the data of settlement placement for the first six months of 2014 (Jan-June).   The federal data release matches EXACTLY with the “unofficial” information we have previously discovered  from our own research:

(Via HHS.GOV) Once the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) receives a child from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), we have the responsibility to continuously seek placement options in the child’s best interest. This typically involves releasing children to sponsors.
Sponsors are adults who can suitably provide for the child’s physical and mental well-being and have not engaged in any activity that would indicate a potential risk to the child.
{*snip* The majority of sponsors are the parents; usually Mom… /SD} 
We try to place the child with a parent, and if that is not possible, with a relative, and if that is not possible, with a family friend. We do not restrict placements based on the immigration status of the parent or other sponsor.

~ Congressman Luis Gutierrez (in Spanish to rousing cheers)

Taken in the abstract the illegal alien influx appears singular.   However, if you allow yourself to elevate above the current crisis you find a parallel issue which aligns with the Obama goals for illegal alien absorption.  You just have to get high enough and look beyond the current crisis horizon to see where they connect.

We have already outlined how HHS UAC (Unaccompanied Alien Minor) Grants are essentially a ruse similar to ACORN.   There might be a few “unaccompanied” minors, (although we have yet to actually see or read of one) but there are many more entire families, or more commonly “mothers with children“.

$622 million has been assigned to the UAC “crisis”, and granted (spent) via HHS funding, since 2012 when President Obama authorized the Deferred Action Program known as DACA.
On June 15, 2012, President Obama signed an executive order calling for deferred action for certain undocumented young people who came to the U.S. as children and have pursued education or military service here.  The program which is called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (“DACA”) actually began on August 15, 2012.
Almost immediately the UAC border crisis exploded:

Simultaneously the number of deportations decreased: (more…)

A Texas Media outlet has just caught on to something we discovered and have shared with you.  Previously we identified the BIG THREE large non-profit corporations getting massive grants from DHS and HHS.   These were the “faith based groups” President Obama met in Dallas 7/9/14.
They are, listed smallest to largest:

• #3  Bronze –   U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and/or, U.S. Catholic Charities $70,000,000+
• #2  Silver – Southwest Key Programs Inc  $122,000,000+
• #1  Gold –  Baptist Child and Family Services Emergency Management Division (BCFS-EMD) $270,000,000+

Today we focus on one.  “Southwest Key Programs Inc” – KEYE TV in Austin Texas has just discovered the ruse and the tentacles of how these “private corporations”, ie. “non profit groups”, think ACORN, actually tie to their community and hide under the cover of funding from DHS/HHS Grants.  We found this specific Private Company nets 98.76% of earnings from government grants [2012 IRS form 990 pg 14].
When KEYE TV reporters go asking questions they discover the secrecy of HHS.  To quote Bruce Willis:  ..”welcome to the party pal“..

KEYE TV – TEXAS – More than $100 million of federal grant money this year has gone to an Austin based company that runs unaccompanied minor shelters across the country.
Its website says Southwest Key Programs is the largest provider of services to unaccompanied children in the United States. Their headquarters is in Austin, Texas.
A brief online description details the children they help, how they’re accepted and a short write up of the types of services provided.
A map provided by Southwest Key officials outlines their different locations and programs across the county. But if you have questions about the money it receives from the federal government for unaccompanied children officials with the non-profit aren’t talking.
While their corporate address is listed as right here in Austin when you try to ask about their child immigrant shelters you get directed to a federal agency — the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
But they’re not talking either. (more…)

Other notes:
As expected – It appears Obama is going to use taxpayer money through AmeriCorps to fund the legal representation for the Unaccompanied Alien Children  – Here’s a link to the Justice Department contract requirement.   [Backstory – You can get up to speed on this HERE and HERE ]
Of course the obvious issues are glaring and, well illegal. Section 292 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1362, states:

In any removal proceedings before an immigration judge and in any appeal proceedings before the Attorney General from any such removal proceedings, the person concerned shall have the privilege of being represented (at no expense to the Government) by such counsel, authorized to practice in such proceedings, as he shall choose. (Emphasis added.)
