Unaccompanied Minors Released on Lavish Vacation Spot, Virgin Islands
BREITBARTTV ^ | August 4, 2014 | Kristin Tate

HOUSTON, Texas -- Several unaccompanied minors who entered the U.S. illegally have been relocated to and released where many U.S. citizens cannot afford to bring their own families on vacation: the Virgin Islands.

SNIP

a Health and Human Services (HHS) document shows that four were set free in the U.S. Virgin Islands. A spokesman from HHS verified this fact to Breitbart Texas.

The picturesque Virgin Islands, located in the Caribbean, are a thriving destination for well-to-do tourists. Many could find irony in the fact that most U.S. taxpayers, who are footing the bill to ship illegal immigrants to the tropical paradise, cannot afford to take a vacation there themselves.

It is unclear why the unaccompanied minors would be released on the Virgin Islands; it takes more than five hours to fly there from McAllen, a border city in South Texas. That is a significantly longer trip than the flight to Central America, where almost all of the minors are migrating from.

Money appears to be no object for the federal government, with regards to flying illegal immigrants to cities across the U.S. In July Breitbart Texas revealed that the Department of Homeland Security requested $87 million for the transportation of illegal immigrants, who are most often flown via charter plane, for Fiscal Year 2015.

So far this year, the feds have flown and released illegal immigrants to locations as far as Alaska and Hawaii.

SNIP

Prior to being released onto U.S. soil, most of the illegal immigrants spend a relatively short amount of time in a federal housing facilities. Some such shelters have recently come under scrutiny for providing the migrants with taxpayer-subsidized luxuries such as all-you-can-eat buffets, flat screen televisions, Internet access, and hair salons.

This is disgusting. American citizens are hurting, can’t take vacations themselves (me included, I’ve never been to Alaska, Hawaii, Virgin Islands and no vacation in the last 12 years) but we are having to pay for those whom have NEVER EVEN PAID INCOME TAXES HERE. I wonder what’s next? Cars, insurance, designer duds, fancy restaurants, upscale housing.....?

Are they just taking these people to various places and dropping them off? Are they just staying on the streets? Are there accommodations for them at any of these places? Are they just begging? This seems so bizarre to me.

Not their money, therefore not a factor in spreading the invaders around.

Pretty simple from their narcissistic point of view.

"This Administration is spreading diseases far and wide."

With the enemy in the White House, that actually sounds plausible.

If they’re going to take them that far, why don’t they take them back to central America?

A few years ago there were many illegals in my son’s elementary school. Son contracted scabies after going on a day field trip. I was horrified. We think he got it from the bus seats.

They want to corrupt and ruin anything that smacks of America and it's goodness and beauty. And that includes the culture.

The global elites don't want to just destroy us, they want to humiliate us; to bury us so far into the ground we'll never dig ourselves out. Alex Jones was right all along.

When they say they were “set free” they’re admitting they were in custody for doing something wrong.

Just think....some “kind and generous” foster parents could step up and collect the $7,400.00/month “payment” to house these lil darlings. I could afford Hawaii or the Virgin Islands on $7,400/mo.

What can possibly go wrong?
