While we understand that there are many nuances in the ongoing illegal immigrant debate, and there are certainly two sides to every story, we can't help but wonder if the US government granting a $50 million award to BCFS Health and Human Services to house "young illegal immigrants at the site of the current Palm Aire Hotel and Suites" in Weslaco, Texas is the best use of government funding. As KRGV reported, " A center for unaccompanied minors set to open in Weslaco later this year will be the first of its kind in the nation, officials with a network of non-profits said. A center for unaccompanied minors set to open in Weslaco later this year will be the first of its kind in the nation, officials with a network of non-profits said... Representatives with BCFS said the Palm Aire will undergo a multi-million dollar transformation."

Working Families? No Money.
Homeless People? No Money.
Veteran's Health Care? Spend half the average of a private insurer's premiums.

But illegals? Shit, open the floodgates, pop out the cash, subsidize the cheap labor!

The Mayor of SF can't wait to hurt working people in the city, he can't find much for the homeless or the working poor, but he's working around the clock to match illegals with housing.

SOLUTION: Force every Democrat-voting household to accept and raise one of these 'humanitarian' kids, WITHOUT ANY GOVT. SUBSIDY, to help the short and long term goal of increasing Dem voters !

Meanwhile the republican coaching staff continues with the same strategy despite continually being one dimensional and exposed...

7   Strategist   2014 Jul 16, 6:28am  

These are kids. Regardless of whose kids they are, we have to take care of them. My question is, if these are Mexican kids, why not just turn them over to the Mexican authorities? The kids are their responsibility.
We are not the world's baby sitters.

because then the Democrats would have wasted all their money that they spent on this media stunt.

Dumb media stunt. It turned Obama's most loyal supporters into hate mongers.
Just take them to Disneyland, buy them some ice cream, and turn them over to the appropriate Mexican authorities. Oh, and charge the Mexicans for babysitting services.

This issue is one of a string of issues where the GOP and their supporters have come out and shown their true colors. Its because of this that their party is done and they will lose the 2016 election

Sotomayor would disagree. Although she's a faux Puerto Rican I think!

excuse me!

you might be offending Native Americans like Elizabeth Warren here

The Devil Obama signed that law in 2008, before he was President. Just like he had those Honolulu newspapers run fake birth announcements while he was being born in Kenya.

Such a fiendish plan - bwahahahahaha!

Yes, Sotomayor (Ernest Borgnine's twin) made a career out of whining about her faux minority status. But she is quite white.

According to the CIA World Fact Book, as Sotomayor sure ain't black, she is white.

Puerto Rico demographics:

white 75.8%, black/African American 12.4%, other 8.5% (includes American Indian, Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian, other Pacific Islander, and others), mixed 3.3%
note: 99% of the population is Latino (2010 est.)

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/rq.html

Latino is not a race either, as the primarily Italian and German World Cup soccer fans from Argentina clearly illustrate.

yep she's white.

also- George Zimmerman is hispanic.

19   New Renter   2014 Jul 16, 9:34am  

The guy in the poo video didn't even bother to pull his underwear down.

What an idiot!

Or maybe, just maybe its just a video of bullpoo.

This is, of course, the hotel known as the Best Western Palm Aire where I can book a room for $38.70 a night on the spot. Fancy digs. The plan is off now, and it's not happening.

Of course, by the time the Baptist charity would have gotten through with it, it'd look like a dormitory, not a shitty hotel, just like their other facilities:

Has anyone even confirmed that $50 million amount or is that just what the corporate media ran with? The Texas government awarded them an under $6 million contract before for their services, so, while the operating costs are probably not insignificant for this kind of facility, I'm wondering if that's the total contract as opposed to an annual number:

They already run a dormitory style facility at Lackland AFB:
