SNIP:
HHS is giving hundreds of millions to contractors, and they're refusing to talk about it.
By Ryan Lovelace
Its not just human smugglers, dubbed coyotes, who have a made a fortune from the influx of unaccompanied alien children into the United States. Nonprofit organizations responsible for operating shelters for the illegal-immigrant children have received hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government, and a Republican senator is getting stonewalled in his efforts to find out whats going on with that money.
One organization, BCFS also known as Baptist Child and Family Services has received more than $280 million from the federal government in 2014, according to usaspending.gov. Thats a steep hike from the sum of just less than $42 million that BCFS got from the federal government in 2013, according to usaspending.gov. In just one grant last month, the Department of Health and Human Services awarded BCFS more than $190 million.
Iowa senator Chuck Grassley wrote a letter to HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell in July, requesting information about government spending on the housing of illegal-immigrant children and calling BCFS track record a cause for concern. Grassley noted that nearly 96 percent of BCFSs 2012 budget came from taxpayer money.

Despite being almost completely dependent on the public, BCFS has faced heavy criticism for attempting to avoid public scrutiny, Grassley wrote. BCFS staff prohibited a Member of Congress from entering the taxpayer-funded detention center at Fort Sill; prevented a Los Angeles Times reporter from interviewing detainees, caseworkers, and other staff; physically pushed a local TV reporter from the entrance of a facility; and attempted to block the reporters camera crew from recording across the street from the facility. Despite such criticism, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson has testified that BCFS has done a remarkable job housing and identifying the children and then placing them with a sponsor.
