LAWRENCEVILLE, VA. | More than 1,000 people crowded into a high school auditorium Thursday in this hardscrabble rural Virginia town to confront Obama administration officials with fierce opposition to plans to turn a defunct college here into housing for some of the illegal-immigrant children flooding across the border.
The residents raised concerns about security, disease, impact on overburdened emergency services and tax dollars going to unaccompanied alien children (UACs) instead of local families living in poverty.
“Please take your UACs and relocate them to D.C., where you can keep a very close eye on their welfare and keep them out of our backyard,” said John Zubrod, one in a long line of residents lined up at Brunswick High School to address Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) officials.

This town of 1,500 is asked to "take in" 500 "children" who only speak Spanish, ages 15-17, 75% of whom are male - what could wrong with that? the people said No, but will they be ignored?
ReplyDeletewhat could wrong with that?
DeleteReally...........
Totally futile. I heard this on the news and can't imagine why they bothered to hold this event. the Govt is going to do whatever they want to no matter how many people it annoys.
