Obama administration to build more 'family friendly' housing for illegal aliens

On Thursday, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Jeh Johnson, appeared at a forum held at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington D.C. According to the man tasked with defending this nation's borders, not only will the American people be forced to welcome more illegal aliens into our communities, but we will also be forced to cough up even more of our dwindling dollars to accommodate them as well.
When an audience member complained to Johnson that so many of those who crossed our border in the recent surge from Central America were held in "jail facilities," Johnson replied:
We had detention space for about 34,000 individuals. Only 95 beds total for family units. Only 95 family unit capability out of 34,000.
And so we believe it's necessary to build more of that capability in the event we have another spike, like we had last summer. 95 out of 34,000 is just not acceptable. And so, I want to build additional capability that can be converted from one use to the other.
Laughably, Johnson also claimed that his agency has made it very difficult for people to cross our borders illegally, stating: "...the American public is susceptible to claims that we have an open, porous border, through which unaccompanied minors and members of terrorist organizations such as ISIL may pass."
We are "susceptible" to such claims, because our border with Mexico is in fact, "porous," and at least 66,000 "unaccompanied minors" have crossed that border within the last year, according to DHS' own data.
Johnson also went on to reiterate President Obama's promise to grant a blanket amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, by executive order.
Watch Johnson's appearance in its entirety...
While this policy will only encourage millions more to enter this country illegally, the promise to provide more comfortable housing to them, rather than actually protecting the border, should come as no surprise...
In 2012, the DHS announced the opening of a $32 million facility in San Antonio, Texas, in which illegal alien detainees are provided with a library with internet access, cable TV, basketball courts, a fitness center, soccer fields and even a dining facility complete with salad bar.
Under the Obama administration, the following amenities and privileges have been provided to many criminals awaiting deportation proceedings in government facilities:
-free movement for detainees
-longer visiting hours
-replacing guards with "resident advisors"
-allowing detainees to wear their own clothing
-dance classes
-movie nights
-art classes
-cooking classes
-tutoring and computer training
-self-serve beverage stations
One thing is for certain, this country is simply not being protected in any way by the current administration.

Why can't we do both?

We have no obligation to provide anything to those here illegally. We can't help the homeless many of whom reject permanent housing. We should do neither.

 

[AmericanFirst]

Why can't we do both?

Because illegals are illegal. Send them back.

If you build them houses, at least you will know where they are when your big roundup comes.

If they aren't here in the first place, problem solved entirely.

Obama knows the homeless never vote, but he knows the illegals are future Dimocrats, so might as well get them used to getting free stuff now.

Well, the problem is solved until you go to the supermarket, then it becomes a real problem when you reach the checkout

I wish, but unfortunately we have tens of millions of Americans (Dimocrats) who don't believe in borders, and want the illegals here.

In the past blue collar middle class jobs pulled us out of a recession. All politicians know this. When this happens white collar winds up paying back some of the over pay they got for sitting behind a desk for the goverment , as most white collar careers are tied to government. Now they wish to have cheap illegals come in in the tens of thousands to hurt the blue collar job market. This will back fire as today's blue collar job require more trade school education and hands on from family workers than most illegals have.

My imagination apparently has websites:

"
The truth of the matter is that illegal immigrants are important to the U.S. economy, as well as vital to certain industries like agriculture.
According to the Pew Research Hispanic Trends Project, there were 8.4 million unauthorized immigrants employed in the U.S.; representing 5.2 percent of the U.S. labor force (an increase from 3.8 percent in 2000). Their importance was highlighted in a report by Texas Comptroller Susan Combs that stated, “Without the undocumented population, Texas’ work force would decrease by 6.3 percent” and Texas’ gross state product would decrease by 2.1 percent. Furthermore, certain segments of the U.S. economy, like agriculture, are entirely dependent upon illegal immigrants"....."But what about the immense strain on social services and money spent on welfare for these law breakers? The Congressional Budget Office in 2007 answered this question in the following manner: “Over the past two decades, most efforts to estimate the fiscal impact of immigration in the United States have concluded that, in aggregate and over the long term, tax revenues of all types generated by immigrants—both legal and unauthorized—exceed the cost of the services they use.” According to the New York Times, the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration claims that undocumented workers have contributed close to 10% ($300 billion) of the Social Security Trust Fund." Illegal immigrants benefit the U.S. economy TheHill

---------------------

"...
Anyway, immigration benefits the U.S. The economic advantages are significant. Many immigrants are natural entrepreneurs, establishing companies, creating jobs, and driving innovation. Well-educated and highly-trained foreign workers are inventive and productive. Expanded work forces increase business flexibility, allowing companies to quickly respond to changing demands. Larger labor forces also encourage specialization. Labor productivity rises as companies adjust to larger work forces and invest in employees.

Immigration may depress wages for the least skilled workers. However, these are the last jobs that government should seek to protect. Moreover, the work force, like the economy, is not a fixed pie. Immigration makes a more innovative, flexible, and productive economy, leading to new and better jobs. The benefits rise over time, with an expanding economic pie."

Or maybe they want an immigration system that allows them to not have to wait over a decade to go back and forth across that border in a realistic fashion consistent with modern society instead of blathering like people who think that "Gee but for these illegal immigrants, all these fat unemployed lowly educated factory workers in North Carolina will go pick lettuce in California three months a year".

Doubletalk.
America does not need illegal immigrants.
Close the border.
Deport illegals.

Well except Congress was only controlled for 4. But they did nothing neither side wants them gone at the national level. Democrats think they will vote for them and Republicans like the cheap labor.

I have found that many so-called "illegals" contribute more to our society than the racist right/white wing yahoos that are always screaming about them.

I don't think the right wing link in the OP provides accurate info. For example, it says Obama is going to issue an executive order that grants blanket amnesty. That is utter BS that only a right/white wing racist would believe or spread. Nor do I think they are going to build anything but some temporary shelter. But why tell the truth when one is bent on displaying their callous hatred for a group of people.

Finally, I'm for providing decent housing for anyone homeless in this country. I don't care if it costs us a bit to do that. It will payoff in the long-run.
