Contractors have taken on the huge task of sheltering thousands of unaccompanied child migrants
In the late afternoon of July 9, Air Force One touched down at Love Field in Dallas. President Barack Obama ducked into a private room at the airport for a discussion about the crisis of undocumented children crossing the southwest border. Assembled around a wooden table were top Texas officials, including Governor Rick Perry and Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings, as well as the leaders of several faith-based charities. One of them was a man so anonymous, the White House pool report misspelled his name.
Kevin Dinnin is the CEO of a faith-based, nonprofit organization called BCFS, formerly known as Baptist Child and Family Services. This obscure charity has emerged as one of the biggest players in the federal government’s response to the influx of more than 57,000 unaccompanied children who have trudged across the southern border so far this year. It runs two of the largest facilities for temporarily housing immigrant children, as well as six permanent shelters in California and Texas. Since December, BCFS has received more than $280 million in federal grants to operate these shelters, according to government records. On July 7, two days before Dinnin met Obama in Dallas, the Department of Health and Human Services awarded BCFS $190,707,505 in a single grant.

You may have a point in that we need to keep an eye on some rather self-destructive reinterpretations of the Good Book.
Loving thy neighbor is a commandment to individuals not the State. The state is ill-relevant where your Soul is concerned. God doesn’t care what other people do for you, he cares what you do.
As servants of God we must remember the context of our judgement is upon ourselves not others. You follow the other’s rout and it leads to holy war and persecution.
I simply don’t believe anyone who demands a half a million a year from the taxpayers is really that concerned about spreading the word. Paul spread the word for free. I can accept that preachers need to be paid a salary but the head of this “charity” makes millions.
I agree...they sold their soul. Traitors to Free America!
