Immigration Crisis: Official: ‘A Tsunami of People Crossing the Border
Fox News ^ | Thursday, July 3, 2014 | Todd Starnes

The mass migration of illegal immigrants into the United States is like a “hurricane that won’t stop,” according to sources inside an organization contracted to run refugee camps for the Department of Health and Human Services.

“It’s a tsunami of people and I don’t know what we can do to make it stop,” the source inside BCFS, previously known as Baptist Child & Family Services told me. BCFS is responsible for refugee camps at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, and Fort Sill in Oklahoma.

My BCFS source said they’ve been told by the federal government to keep the Lackland camp open until September and the Fort Sill camp open until October.

“It’s more serious than people realize,” the source told me. “It’s a mass migration of people.”

“To move Central America to the United States is not the answer,” the source said. “It’s a serious problem, and someone in Washington needs to wake up.”

As many as 1,200 illegal alien children are housed at the Lackland facility, which has drawn fire in recent days over allegations from former employees that the government is downplaying the health risks there and that a security force has been bullying staffers.

Several workers told me staff members have been threatened with arrest if they speak publicly about what is happening inside the facility.

Copied and pasted below is a reply I received from BCFS when I inquired about the organization and their funding. I also questioned their lack of a statement of faith.
They use money from Baptists, they have a Baptist history, and they are a completely godless, global entity. The “B” in BCFS stands for Baptist. They were formerly called Baptist Child and Family Services.

Greetings,

Thank you for your interest in BCFS. In 1944, a group of San Antonio Baptist business, community and church leaders, like HEB founder Howard E. Butt, witnessed a great injustice taking place against the most vulnerable in our community: children. At the time, orphanages were segregated by race and, while there were homes for white and African American children, there was no place for Hispanic children who were not living with their parents for one reason or another. Answering the call of Matthew 25, the Christian leaders came together to care for the least of these by establishing the “Baptist Children’s Home.”

Throughout the years, our organization was known as many names. Most well-known among them was “Baptist Child & Family Services.” In the last five years, this name was changed yet again to “BCFS,” a result of our growing mission to serve populations beyond just children and families, to include adults, those who are aging, people with disabilities and more.

While significantly supported financially at the time of our founding by Baptist General Convention of Texas, and still to a lesser degree today, our organization is not the Baptist church. We are, however, guided by our strong Judeo-Christian foundation and believe that Christ-centered action is far more powerful than a religious label.

Today, BCFS is a global system of non-profit health and human service organizations operating programs throughout the U.S., Eastern Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia and Africa. As was true at our founding, our organization is constantly evolving to meet the unmet needs of at-risk populations. In partnership with government agencies, other non-profits, private corporations and community leaders throughout the nation, BCFS is continuously developing new programs and service models that combat challenges faced by children, families and communities that are struggling.

For 70 years, we have strived to build systems that make a lasting impact on those we serve.

•Emergency management and medical sheltering during public health disasters
•Residential services and emergency shelters for children who are abused and neglected
•Assisted living services and vocational training for adults with intellectual disabilities
•Mental health services for children and families
•Foster care and adoption services
•Medical services to impoverished communities
•Transitional living services for youth aging out of foster care and those in the juvenile justice system
•Residential camping and retreats for children and families
•International humanitarian aid for children living in impoverished conditions in developing countries

You should have observed that dictators always provide for themselves and their families first, because they never know when they will be driven from power and forced to flee the country. Obama's daughters have a lifetime of security in untraceable assets in foreign sanctuaries, outside the reach of domestic authorities.

They will never have to live with the catastrophic consequences of their criminal father's misconduct.
