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.

Why don’t these do gooders shag their butts down to Guatemala and spend their time, energy and their own coin running a refugee camp down there? My guess is that their “leadership” are card carrying Chamber of Commerce slugs ready and willing to sell out their own country for profit.

Good! I’m glad enough backlash happened to make them cancel. So, where will they try to send them, next?

I’m with TADSLOS....let these do gooders go down to Central America and help these folks fix their own countries...setting up free housing camps, healthcare, education, etc.

It’s not our damn job to provide day spas for illegal immigrants so they and their offpring can vote Democrat later. It’s really not our job to pay anything for them truth be told!

I see that this was cancelled but other people in the Americas might still see these photos and start preparing for the trip to El Norte.

This is getting worse than sickening and I fear we have truly lost our Republic.

I called my Congressman this morning and lodged my “complaint” to put it mildly. First I asked the staffer what Congressman Stiver’s position was on this illegal alien debacle. I was told that he feels they should be returned to the country they came from. I then asked him how he felt about the Vietnam vet, double amputee whose wheelchair fell apart in Lowes and his inability to get a new one from VA. He was stunned......then I asked him if he knew of the proposal on this Texas resort. He did not. I asked him how we as a country could allow a VET who lost his limbs for US citizens to ride around in a piece of junk and then propose a resort with pool, sauna, tennis courts for children who have nothing to do with this country.

I asked (my Rep) how we could allow an American patriot---a VET who lost his limbs for US citizens to ride around in a piece of junk----whose wheelchair fell apart in Lowes and his inability to get a new one from VA-----and then propose taxpayers subsidize a resort with pool, sauna, tennis courts for illegals who (showed contempt for America---who broke laws, and violated our borders to sneak in here).

Beautiful----betcha that turned the tide on the stinking proposal to house the vermin in a posh resort....on our dime

Good News.

The left’s focus groups of independents on this outrage must have burnt up the recording devices and the focus groups’s moderators.

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

Excellent suggestion. After processing them, the chillins have two choices:

1. A MATS flight back to their home country with a $100 cash bonus after they leave the plane.

2. If they don’t want the free MATS flight and $100 cash bonus, open the gates at Gitmo and send them to Castro like he cleared out his prisons and sent the Cuban Criminals to America.
