He’s Built an Empire, With Detained Migrant Children as the Bricks
The New York Times ^ | 02 Dec 2018 | Kim Barker, Nicholas Kulish and Rebecca R. Ruiz

The founder of Southwest Key made millions from housing migrant children. His nonprofit has stockpiled taxpayer dollars and possibly engaged in self-dealing with top executives.

Juan Sanchez grew up along the Mexican border in a two-bedroom house so crowded with children that he didn’t have a bed. But he fought his way to another life. He earned three degrees, including a doctorate in education from Harvard, before starting a nonprofit in his Texas hometown.

Mr. Sanchez has built an empire on the back of a crisis. His organization, Southwest Key Programs, now houses more migrant children than any other in the nation. Casting himself as a social-justice warrior, he calls himself El Presidente, a title inscribed outside his office and on the government contracts that helped make him rich.

Southwest Key has collected $1.7 billion in federal grants in the past decade, including $626 million in the past year alone. But as it has grown, tripling its revenue in three years, the organization has left a record of sloppy management and possible financial improprieties, according to dozens of interviews and an examination of documents. It has stockpiled tens of millions of taxpayer dollars with little government oversight and possibly engaged in self-dealing with top executives.

“Kudos to the New York Times.”

There’s got to be an ulterior motive.

Taxpayer funded HUMAN TRAFFICKING..? The company is apparently a network of legal STASH HOUSES.

Partner, we need to completely eliminate programs like this that are funded by the U.S. Taxpayer. We know that our previous Rino Speaker Paul Ryan never lifted a finger to remove these Tax Payer funded programs and subsidies.

We know that this is one of the things that President Trump is looking at the U.S. budget so that we can even out the U.S. Budget Deficit.

I found this information a few months ago and shared it all over. Some people got the connection.
