Obama Administration Lending Some Illegal Immigrant Families Smartphones
by Caroline May12 Feb 2016
The government is providing some illegal immigrant families with smartphones to temporarily use as they travel throughout the United States to their “destination†cities.
GEO Care, a federal contractor, has started loaning smartphones to certain illegal immigrant families enrolled in Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Family Case Management Program.
The FCMP is an alternative to detention that pairs illegal immigrants with social workers who help them get their footing in cities across the U.S. — including assisting the new arrivals with accessing housing, education, medical services and legal assistance — while they await immigration hearings.
The Obama administration has billed the program as a way to ensure the illegal immigrant families show up for their immigration hearings.
“Case managers and others will work with families to ensure they are knowledgeable of the immigration process, and understand their rights and obligations. With the correct information, families will be empowered to participate in the immigration process,†ICE spokesman Richard Rocha explained in a statement to Breitbart News.

Lending Sure.....
I’m getting really tired of paying for fraudulently documented foreigners to not be deported as prescribed by law.
The Usurpation cannot end soon enough
Lending? Repeat- Lending!
Odds of the phones being returned?
I just bought my first smart phone, a used Moto-G. I guess I should declare my non-citizen status and demand free stuff. Why the heck should I have to pay for what others get for free?
Free obamaphones and they get a reminder call when it’s time to vote.
The more that private contractors and ngos start sucking on the taxpayer teats, the more they’ll lobby for more business, just like they do with private prison industry. We pay and pay and the politicians get kickbacks.
I don’t want the private sector involved in government business because they will always work not to cut government, but to expand their cut of the acton.
there is a practical use - they are being tracked by those phones.
"The Obama administration has billed the program as a way to ensure the illegal immigrant families show up for their immigration hearings TO VOTE FOR HILLARY."
Will the Democrats be sending Democrat political ads to these cellphones? YES.
I want a pony.

http://usofarn.com/2014/12/30/90-of-border-surge-illegal-immigrants-fail-to-show-up-for-immigration-hearings/ I don't have a `smartphone' but I'm paying for a crimmigrant's smartphone. I had to pay for my firearms, and the govt. wants to take them away to give to narco-terrorists and goat fanciers ..... If we didn't have an election coming up ...
Lending? Of course, they’ll all turn them in when they show up for their immigration hearing.
I can afford a smart phone, but I do not have one because it is not a thrifty use of my money. Liberals don’t find it offensive that taxpayers who cannot afford or are unwilling to pay for a smart phone for themselves are paying for smart phones for illegals? Liberals are disgusting, evil people.
It is really, really, good that Ted Cruz was able to stop the Gang of Eight Immigration Bill because then things like this would have happened legally, instead of illegally!
I want free ice cream, too!
So they can connive with the 1.4 million islamics now in Germany and the 4.5 million islamics in the UK.
Another deliberate poke in the eyes of Americans by the illegal Kenyan usurper.
“Lending”? Are these the same smart phones that we stolen not too long ago? Does anyone within their right mind really think these phones will EVER find their home back into gubmint hands? Really?
Someone should add up the cost of all these freebies the next time the elites complain about the cost of the border wall.
Comes with a pre-paid $80/mo data package as well, no doubt. I cannot afford this crap, but Obutthole gives it to illegal aliens.
Never ending free stuff to non citizens.
