A Health and Human Services official refused to allow a member of Congress to enter a facility in his district where some one the unaccompanied immigrant children ae being housed.
Representative Jim Bridenstine (R., Okla.) was told he could schedule an appointment for July 21. ““What are they trying to hide?” Bridenstine said after the incident. ”Do they not want the children to speak with Members of Congress? As a Navy pilot, I have been involved in operations countering illicit human trafficking. I would like to know to whom these children are being released.”
There are 1,200 immigrant children at the base. Bridenstine’s office explained that HHS releases the children to a “sponsor” in the United States. The congressman said that a security guard at the Fort Sill, Okla., facility refused to let him enter the barracks without HHS approval even though he is a member of Congress.

[ There might be a handful that do. But they might be afraid because of what is being done to Ted Cruz. It’s not an excuse. They are all nothing but bunch of frickin weasels! ]
Ted Cruz isn’t even afraid of what is being done to Ted Cruz for crying out loud!!
He met with the Base Commander before he tried to inspect the barracks. Next time, he should request an armed military escort to obtain entrance. The military in still in charge of the base.
No truer words ever stated Sir.
Sorry...didn’t mean to step on your thread, didn’t see it.
Not at all! Different story from different source so not a dupe. Not a problem.
My thoughts exactly. When do our conservative leaders start standing up to this nonsense?
From your link...
....“After my visit today with the base commander, I approached the barracks where the children are housed. A new fence has been erected by HHS, completely surrounding the barracks and covered with material to totally obscure the view. Every gate is chained closed.
“I approached a security guard and asked to speak with the manager of the facility. The guard called his supervisor who said no visitors were allowed. I asked if they were aware that I am a Member of Congress. Eventually the manager came out and said that I would have to go through HHS legislative affairs and that the first chance to visit would be July 21st.
I’d refuse to leave, or, I’d come back with reinforcements.
Dang! Lookee here!
Take the County Sheriff with you, Jim.
And a few Deputies.
You’ll see the kids.
Saddam used women and children as human shields prior to invasion. He protected his palaces and military facilities by piling women and children there. But what is the motivation here?
I know it’s a road and a can of worms that doesn’t need to be broached. But, if congress is abdicating its duties. It is time for the military to honor their oath and arrest the dung beetle for treason. If the cities burn, so be it.
bttt.
Illegals welcome. Americans not allowed
By housing these third world immigrants in crowded conditions and not sending them back home when caught, they are spreading diseases throughout the children. Theoretically that means these children are dieing now by the dozens and the Feds are in the process of incinerating the evidence.
Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are the only ones with any testicles.
Or, request the Sergeant-At-Arms of the House, and his tactical team, accompany him when he goes back.
Either way, betcha he gets in...
