Federal Government Eyes San Diego to House Illegal Alien Children

San Diego could soon be home to more than 3,000 illegal alien children currently being held at inadequate and overcrowded Border Patrol facilities all along the southwest border, a California congressman confirmed with TheBlaze.
San Diego’s KGTV-TV first reported that the federal proposal would turn an abandoned elderly care facility, formerly the Sharp-Cabrillo Skilled Nursing Center, into a housing facility for the children. The facility has been closed for nearly five years.
“San Diego is a border community with real firsthand experience with illegal immigration,” Rep. Duncan Hunter, a Republican who represents San Diego, told TheBlaze. “That makes us better situated to deal with certain things, but it’s not a reason to look at San Diego and other communities with the notion that the failures of the federal government can somehow be masked or assuaged by directing more of the burden locally. It won’t fly and Escondido proved that the other day.”
Hunter had sent several letters to the city of Escondido, California, opposing similar plans in their community. The Escondido planning commission on Tuesday voted down the federal government’s plan to temporarily house some of the 52,000 children who have already entered the U.S. over the past nine months.
Hunter told TheBlaze he is opposed to the most recent plan because it does not resolve the crisis of the surge of unaccompanied minors from Central America that Obama administration officials believe will exceed 90,000 by the end of this year.
A Border Patrol official told KGTV that “no final plans have been put in place as of this moment.”
“However, there are plans which include transportation of in-custody individuals to other sectors on the southwest border to assist with the processing of apprehended immigrants,” the official said.
TheBlaze reported last week that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a division of the Department of Homeland Security, had been preparing as early as January for a surge of at least 65,000 unaccompanied illegal immigrant children. ICE officials put out an advertisement looking for qualified contractors to transport the expected children from border holding facilities to more permanent housing facilities throughout the country.
An ICE official told TheBlaze on Monday that the contract advertisement for escorts for the minors was part of a “contingency plan,” but would not elaborate on the details of those plans or what companies were awarded the contracts.
Many of the children who have crossed the border without guardians have already been transported to military installations and other shelters throughout the United States.

How the hell is Homeland Security focusing at all on its designated purpose? We have heard more about them the past 30 days than the past year, Now it is admitted that they have worked on handling this influx of illegal aliens for six months and had next to nothing accomplished. Causes one to wonder if they focus on their pirpose for existence.
With this information, how secure does that make you feel?
It truly is time for people to take responsibility from government bringing forth a government in Washington to serve the people's purpose, it certainly seems. A quarter century is adequately enough of what politicos have rendered!
