Residents force Feds to scrap plan to house illegals at Va college (Obama gets middle-fingered)
The Washington Times ^ | 6/16/14 | S.A. Miller w/ Stephen Dinan

Posted on 06/17/2014 6:15:05 AM PDT by Liz

The Obama administration’s plan to temporarily shelter hundreds of illegal minors at Saint Paul’s College, Lawrenceville, Virginia is on hold.....the White House has continued to see its efforts to house the children throughout the country be thwarted by local opposition. As many as 500 children were to start arriving at a recently closed historically black college. But HHS' plans were stymied, at least temporarily, after town and county officials objected to the short notice and complete lack of community input. “We were stunned,” said Robert F. Pecht III, president of the Lawrenceville Town Council, who learned of the plan Friday evening. “We were told it was a done deal. The lease was signed, and that was it.”

As the feds worked over the weekend preparing the campus for 11-17 year old children, local public outrage erupted, which is about 70 miles south of Richmond. Letters flooded the town council offices.... nearby residents threatened to boycott the town if the college became a way station for illegal immigrants.

Rep. Robert Hurt, the Republican congressman who represents the region, sent HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell a letter, demanding she halt the project. After the delay was announced, Mr. Hurt said it should be the beginning of a total rethink. “I would request that they completely halt the implementation of this plan and return to the drawing board,” he said in a statement. “If the HHS plan is indeed good for the people of Lawrenceville and Brunswick County, then they should begin with a transparent and open process that includes the community and the local elected officials every step of the way and ensures compliance with all local, state and federal laws — including the local zoning ordinances of the town of Lawrenceville.”

Taxpayers should also demand the source of funds town officials are using to house illegals.

Tax dollars earmarked for one purpose then switched to finance for another purpose is against the law.

How ‘bout we just send them back to THEIR government and taxpayers and have THEM warehouse them? Sounds good to me.

Obama factotum, DHS Secy Jeh Johnson, told reporters that the federal government would do what was in the “best interest” of unaccompanied alien children swarming across the border. He also denied that the taxpayer-funded care being provided to them was serving as an incentive to Central American families to send more of their children. But a closer look at the US govt services being provided tells a different story.....

Better yet, taxpayers demand our tax-paid public servants like Johnson and the Congress do something in "our" best interests.

=============================================

The National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers asserted: "This is not a humanitarian crisis. It is a predictable, orchestrated and contrived assault on the compassionate side of Americans by her political leaders that knowingly puts minor illegal alien children at risk for purely political purposes."

==============================================

Vote crazed Democrats---desperate over losing seats in 2014---are conniving to get taxpayers to buy them these illegal votes----the Dummycrats are requesting $2 billion tax dollars (for starters) to subsidize the swarm at the border.

Dummycrats are using the "Clinton vote-trading formula---let so may illegals in--get so many votes."

Joe Biden has been thoroughly briefed by the DNC: Speaking to a National Association of Manufacturers, Biden called for a "constant, unrelenting stream' of new immigrants — not dribbling (but) significant flows," The Hill reported....

TRANSLATION FROM DUMMYCRAP BAFFLE-GAB: "let 'em pour in to get the votes we need---and extort taxpayers to subsidize the vote-getting scheme."

==============================================

ALIPAC.COM---- Congress toll-free numbers:

Flood the Congress w/ Phone calls--"we will not subsidize Democrat vote-buying schemes. No tax dollars for illegals."

1-800-828-0498 1-800-459-1887 1-800-614-2803 1-866-340-9281 1-866-338-1015 1-866-220-0044

Didn’t that POS Bill Clinton deposit hundreds of thousands of Somalis in various communities in Minnesota and Maine back in the 90’s?

How prosperous are those communities these days?

The Kenyan is trying to deposit a hundreds of thousands of illegal alien children throughout the country. What will come of this?

Obama will say he is “Shocked, shocked” that illegal immigrant kids are being sneaked into townships in the dead of night.

Typical imperious Obama; the serfs are expected to bow down. Now those opposed will be targeted by the IRS and the rest of Obama’s enforcers. He also might try to buy off the local officials with Federal taxpayer dollars and subvert those opposed to his subversion of the US.

Mexico has no shame.
Why should it? It's just another deadbeat country with its hand out to the USA.

¡Que vergüenza!

Is a “Middle-Finger Salute” to Obama, a sign of the times from the once Mighty Middle Class to Obama?

When you get into this, you will find that this college is looking for “alternative sources” of revenue. Get ready for struggling colleges to lease out their excess dorm space to the feds. Place to sleep? Check. Food service? Check. Access to health services? Check.

Fedgov is facilitating invasion rather than repelling it.

HAT TIP TO SEATTLE CONSERVATIVE: how about we cut off US aid to the governments transporting their kids across the border. US aid is suspended until the countries put out appropriate messaging to counter the ads said to be fueling the surge at the border.

Aid figures do not include military aid: El Salvador: $280.4M Honduras: $680M Dominican Republic: $223.7M Mexico: $958.2M Guatemala: $391.8M

SOURCE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_foreign_aid_received

=============================================

This report shows US aid $’s for the past few years (see page 9 (US Assistance) and pages 25-30 show various other agencies providing aid (DOD, etc.) (needs more research)

LINK http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/row/R42582.pdf

We could also send the countries a bill for processing, housing, feeding and providing healthcare and daycare for each of the illegals citizens that they facilitated into the US.

=================================================

Thank you Seattle Conservative.
