Daily Mail: Obama opens third military base to deal with flood of illegal child immigrants (Americans are asking each other, 'How are we going to pay for all this?' Obama is asking Michelle, 'Why can't they be, you know, more black?')


Obama Opens Third Military Base to Deal with Flood of Illegal Child Immigrants


  • Financial strain: Administration officials said they would be asking Congress for an additional $560million to help the Department of Homeland Security cope with the illegal border crossings

  • Base at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, will initially hold 600 'unaccompanied minors'

  • There has been a tidal wave of children trying to slip into the States 

  • They are largely from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala


  • The Obama administration announced it is designating a third U.S. military base for emergency housing of children immigrating illegally into the United States without parents or relatives.
    The news came as officials insist that the children are in good hands, despite allegations of abuse by US authorities.
    Senior administration officials, who asked not to be identified, told reporters that an Army base at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, will initially hold 600 ‘unaccompanied minors’ and eventually will be able to accommodate up to 1,200.
    In recent weeks, the Obama administration has opened similar emergency shelters at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, and Naval Base Ventura County in Southern California.
    The moves come amid a tidal wave of children trying to slip into the United States, largely from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, often to join a parent already here. . . .
