Lawrenceville, Virginia’s 1,500 residents have just learned how progressives operate. The impoverished and majority black community had no say when the head of the Health and Human Services green lighted the transport of 500 illegal immigrant kids up to age 17 from shelters in the Southwest to St. Paul’s College in the southern Virginia town.
...
One big question for Obama’s reps is why Lawrenceville? Why not Tennyson Street in Washington-Chevy Chase, where do-gooder liberals live in their million-dollar homes? Talk about race and class warfare.
It’s okay to put kids who have not been medically cleared in a small town that is 76.2% black and where the median income is $26,028, but not in ritzy, upper northwest DC.
Obama received 95% of the black vote in 2008 and 93% in 2012 so there is little doubt the majority of blacks in Lawrenceville turned out to elect the first black president. But this is how progressive ideals work out in the real world.
The townspeople of Lawrenceville are of no further use to Obama. Consequently, they were not consulted about the “youth immigration shelter” being set up in their midst. Did residents want their town to be used as a dumping ground for illegal immigrant kids with no parents? No one asked them.
....
Responding to citizens’ concerns, Representative Robert Hurt sent a letter to HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell requesting that they halt the plan to move kids to Lawrenceville. Hurt cited “very serious” public health and safety issues brought to his attention by townspeople and local elected officials.
