FEDS TO OPEN $50 MILLION RESORT FOR ILLEGAL CHILDREN – Complete With Tennis Courts, Sauna & Pools
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 7-16-2014 | Kristinn Taylor

Welcome to America!

The Obama administration has awarded a $50 million contract to a charitable group to buy a Texas resort hotel and transform it in to a 600 bed facility for juvenile illegal aliens.

The beautiful Palm Aire resort and hotel has an indoor Olympic sized pool and an outdoor pool. Free Wi-Fi and cable TV are included in the simply decorated guest rooms.

The Palm Aire Hotel and Suites is set to be sold to Baptist Child & Family Services (BCFS) operating under a federal contract, pending local government approval, according to reports from Weslaco, Texas where the hotel is located. Weslaco is a few miles north of the Rio Grande in Hidalgo County.

The resort hotel for illegal alien children is reportedly the ‘first in the nation’.

The Palm Aire includes tennis courts, a laundromat and a snack bar.

The plan is to have the hotel ready for illegal alien children ages 12 to 17 by October 1st of this year, a mere two-and-half months from now. It is expected the average stay will be about fifteen days.

The Palm Aire Hotel and Suites currently advertises amenities such as two outdoor swimming pools—one Olympic sized—Jacuzzis, sauna, steam room, two racquetball courts, outdoor tennis courts, picnic area with grills and a fitness center with twenty machines and free weights.

A luxurious fitness center is on site at the Weslaco Palm Aire Hotel and Suites. Guests can also wind down in the sauna after a long trip.

Attracted to the space for outdoor recreation at the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites, BCFS spoke of building a soccer field at the hotel and adding a perimeter fence.

BCFS plans to employ 650 people at the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites, which would mean slightly over one worker per illegal alien child. According to the BCSF Website, the charity’s jobs pay from $10 to $45 per hour.

KRGV-TV quoted a BCFS spokeswoman about the purpose of buying the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites:

“It’s going to be an intake facility, which serves as a lot like a hospital emergency room,” Krista Piferrer, BCFS VP External Affairs said.

“”We’ve all seen the photos and the videos of children in crowded Border Patrol facilities. What this site is going to allow to happen is quickly move those children out of Border Patrol cells and triage them,” Piferrer said.”

BCFS plans for the facility to be “completely self-contained” with Piferrer telling KRGV-TV, ‘medical staff will be on hand so children with diseases or injuries will not be transferred to local hospitals.’

Piferrer told the Valley Morning Star the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites facility would ‘(provide) medical and mental health care, on-site educational programs, recreational programs and case management.’

According to a Hidalgo County commissioner, the BCFS contract for the Palm Aire Hotel and Suites is an annual one worth $50 million per year. It is not part of the $3.7 billion emergency funding for the illegal alien invasion requested by the Obama administration as the bill hasn’t yet passed but it is a good indication of where the money will go.

Howzabout just releasing all the terrorists and sending the chillins to Gitmo? We’ve already got the facilities there, no need to build anything.

Why are the Baptists running a money laundering operation for the Obama administration?

Good question. Also, why is Gov Perry allowing this to happen?

I didn’t mean it like that when I posted. I meant it in a sarcastic tone. But another freeper asked me to elborate on the meaning of my post. I guess he took it that I wanted the place to burn down.

Now that I think about it, I agree.

This article needs to be tweeted to Gov Perry asking why he’s allowing this.

Already did. to him, Cruz and my Rep Stockman.

Why are we allowing a resort to be built, in TX, for these illegals??

The resort isn't being built. It's already there...not that it matters much, really.

I saw that another news outlet has picked up this story, too. Hopefully, it will grow some very long legs. The feds have no respect for the laws, but they HATE bad publicity (go figure)

Good idea .... to send/tweet to Sen Cruz and Rep.

I’m also sending to Sen Mike Lee and Rep Louie Gohmert, and asking them to help stop this...during their Friday visit to McAllen (with Glenn “The Fraud” Beck).

I took your post to mean that structurally, the buildings weren’t a safe place for people to live long-term. That may well be the case if the government is involved. I didn’t come to the conclusion that you wanted the place to burn down.

Just noticed that they removed my one-word post. I’ll make sure I take the word “good” out of my available FR vocabulary.

Everybody is running scared anymore. Even here.

I posted this on another thread....

I just had a thought, after seeing a homeless guy on a Houston street corner.....

What if homeless folks from Houston, Austin and San Antonio were bused to this luxurious resort? Or, better yet, our homeless vets?

Would 0 have to bring back his Barry-cades?

Good point. The whole thing is so insane I can hardly even comment on it. The House needs to start defunding HHS like they are doing to the IRS. Just out of retaliation.
