It highlights the role of a nonprofit called “BCFS” which, according to Time, has received more than $280 million since December to operate temporary housing shelters for children who illegally cross the Mexican border into the U.S.
On July 7, two days before [the charity head] met Obama in Dallas, the Department of Health and Human Services awarded BCFS $190,707,505 in a single grant.
The Time article also brings attention to an ongoing theme under the Obama administration: its penchant to withhold public information of public interest. According to Time, “To shield vulnerable kids from angry opponents of immigration and the media spotlight, the government declines to disclose the locations and activities of many of the facilities operated by BCFS and similar organizations. That protectiveness comes at a political cost. Governors in states across the U.S. have assailed the federal government for sending kids to their states without notifying local officials, and congressional critics say that massive amounts of taxpayer money are being spent without proper oversight.”
BCFS’s job is massive. According to Time, it has devoted 1,400 employees to manage its temporary shelters this year. At least one U.S. Senator, Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), is concerned about possible lack of appropriate oversight. He has asked Health and Human Services for information about BCFS contracts.
Despite being almost completely dependent on the public, BCFS has faced heavy criticism for attempting to avoid public scrutiny. This aversion to basic transparency is extremely disturbing.”
Time reports that the BCFS’ leader received nearly $450,000 in compensation in 2012. At least four other top officials earned more than $200,000.

Thanks for posting. HOORAY Sharyl Attkisson!
Sounds like it is time for some lawfare. File suits against the national BCFS as well as local shelters where they have been located. Legal bases could include child endangerment, abuse (some of the illegals have already filed against DHS), transmission of diseases to the general public and employees, etc. Force discovery, disclosure and threaten personal liability, particularly at the local level.
Great link at the bottom of the article ..... more detailed info on BCFS:

Lotsa’ taxpayer money being spent - Obola’s usual MO:
The federal grant money for sheltering unaccompanied children, provided by HHS’s Administration for Children and Families, has so far totaled $671 million during the 2014 fiscal year. BCFS has received 40% of those funds, making it the largest recipient of money disbursed to contractors to temporarily house unaccompanied children until they can be reunited with family members or placed in foster care. Dozens of other organizations are involved in the effort, including Southwest Key Programs, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

This is what he was up to.

0bola’s been laying the groundwork for this invasion, for some time, now.
Who gave this admin the authority to dole out all of this grant $$/our tax $$ ($671 million during the 2014 fiscal year)?
How does this get IMMEDIATELY investigated?
Where is the Republican impeachment???
Oh, that’s right, they think they need to win in November before doing that, but we all know even then they won’t.
Senators and members of Congress cannot get in but homo recruiters and MS-13 have no problem
Criminals all. Justice must find them eventually.
Pure BS. Angry opponents of immigration? These are illegal aliens, not legal immigrants. The secrecy is about hiding the true scale and scope of what is going on as well as the crony relationship between BCFS and the government. It is outrageous.
