Illegal immigrant children’s facility: “What are they trying to hide?”

Bridenstine Turned Away at HHS Facility

Rep. Jim Bridenstine turned away at HHS facility in Oklahoma by security.

Even a US Congressman cannot get in to a HHS facility where illegal immigrant children are being warehoused.

What are they trying to hide?” he asked.

As I posted yesterday, physicians and medical staff are being threatened with arrest regarding illegal immigrant children:

A government-contracted security force threatened to arrest doctors and nurses if they divulged any information about the contagion threat at a refugee camp housing illegal alien children at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, sources say.

In that vein, from NationalReview.com:

HHS Bars Congressman from Seeing Immigrant Children

by Joel Gehrke

A Health and Human Services official refused to allow a member of Congress to enter a facility in his district where some of the unaccompanied immigrant children are being housed.

Representative Jim Bridenstine (R., Okla.) was told he could schedule an appointment for July 21. “​What are they trying to hide?” Bridenstine said after the incident. “​Do they not want the children to speak with Members of Congress? As a Navy pilot, I have been involved in operations countering illicit human trafficking. I would like to know to whom these children are being released.”

Precisely: “What are they trying to hide?”

Here is part of what I believe they are trying to hide: the terrible condition of these children, the diseases they carry, and perhaps even the beginning of a type of disease that can readily go epidemical.

Revealed, Leftists know there would be a clear backlash against further illegal immigrants and children allowed into the nation — and rightly so.  Very rightly so.

The congressman said that a security guard at the Fort Sill, Okla., facility refused to let him enter the barracks without HHS approval even though he is a member of Congress.

But here’s the rub: he was a Republican congressman.  We know what would have occurred had the man been a Demorat.

“There is no excuse for denying a Federal Representative from Oklahoma access to a federal facility in Oklahoma where unaccompanied children are being held,” Bridenstine said in the press release. ”Any Member of Congress should have the legal authority to visit a federal youth detention facility without waiting three weeks.”

On Congressman Bridenstine’s site, his press release about the incident is here.  It reads:

Jul 2, 2014
Press Release
Washington, DC, July 2, 2014 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Congressman Jim Bridenstine (OK) was denied access yesterday to the HHS facility at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma currently housing up to 1,200 unaccompanied alien children (UAC) who illegally crossed the southern border into the United States.

Congressman Bridenstine said, “There is no excuse for denying a Federal Representative from Oklahoma access to a federal facility in Oklahoma where unaccompanied children are being held.  Any Member of Congress should have the legal authority to visit a federal youth detention facility without waiting three weeks.”

The Health and Human Services (HHS) official who appears to be in charge of the facility told Congressman Bridenstine he could schedule an appointment for July 21.  HHS Deputy Director of the Office of Public Affairs, Ken Wolfe, would not take the Congressman’s phone call.  The Congressman was told to send Mr. Wolfe an email as that was the preferred method of communication.  Congressman Bridenstine’s email to Mr. Wolfe included this press release.

“After my visit today with the base commander, I approached the barracks where the children are housed.  A new fence has been erected by HHS, completely surrounding the barracks and covered with material to totally obscure the view.  Every gate is chained closed.   

“I approached a security guard and asked to speak with the manager of the facility.  The guard called his supervisor who said no visitors were allowed.  I asked if they were aware that I am a Member of Congress.  Eventually the manager came out and said that I would have to go through HHS legislative affairs and that the first chance to visit would be July 21st.

“What are they trying to hide?  Do they not want the children to speak with Members of Congress?  As a Navy pilot, I have been involved in operations countering illicit human trafficking.  I would like to know to whom these children are being released.”

Ft. Sill is one of three facilities in the U.S. currently housing the unaccompanied alien children.  The Administration policy is that after they are apprehended on the border by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the children are transferred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for transport, and then placed in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) until released to a so-called “sponsor” in the U.S.

AMM - American Media Maggots 1Obama displays no transparency nor do any of the minions doing his bidding.  There has never been, in fact, a more opaque administration that I can recall in my 63 years on the planet.  And with that, the American Media Maggots are complicit with their conspicuous silence.

Now: you know what I believe the Obama Administration via the HHS is trying to hide.  The conditions.

The dangerous politics of Leftists regarding illegal immigrants and infectious diseases

Fascism When We Do ItFrom FoxNews.com:

Medical staff warned: Keep your mouths shut about illegal immigrants or face arrest

by Todd Starnes

A government-contracted security force threatened to arrest doctors and nurses if they divulged any information about the contagion threat at a refugee camp housing illegal alien children at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, sources say.

In spite of the threat, several former camp workers broke their confidentiality agreements and shared exclusive details with me about the dangerous conditions at the camp. They said taxpayers deserve to know about the contagious diseases and the risks the children pose to Americans. I have agreed to not to disclose their identities because they fear retaliation and prosecution.

And isn’t that wonderful?  Leftists via the Obama Administration — which crowed about so-called “transparency” — now continue to ensure the Obama Administration is the most opaque, isolated, disingenuous and foundationally untruthful and obfuscated in the history of the United States.

In other words, to health care workers: STFU about the reality of what is occurring in illegal alien refugee camps.  The truth about the infectious diseases carried by many of these illegals must be kept under wraps.  The truth cannot get out.

Or we’ll arrest you for revealing that uncomfortable truth.

My sources say Americans should be very concerned about the secrecy of the government camps.

That would likewise be applied to every aspect of the Obama Administration.  The most opaque in the history of this nation — and moreso than Jimmy Carter.

But wait until you read this:

The sources said workers were guarded by a security force from the Baptist Family & Children’s Services, which the Department of Health and Human Services hired to run the Lackland Camp.

The sources say security forces called themselves the “Brown Shirts.”

“It was a very submissive atmosphere,” the counselor said. “Once you stepped onto the grounds, you abided by their laws – the Brown Shirt laws.”

An illegal immigrant camp “guarded” by a private security force from the BFCS, whom DHS hired to “secure” the Lackland AFB camp?  When there were USAF forces available but upon request, in the form of APs — the Air Police?

This is completely nonsensical.

Since when does the Obama Administration have anything to do with the BFCS — a religious group — and, since when does the Obama Administration place its faith in private security firms — firms that it has historically excoriated under Bush?

With that, since when does the BFCS possess an actual “security force”?

This completely stinks to high heaven and beyond.

She said the workers were stripped of their cellphones and other communication devices. Anyone caught with a phone was immediately fired.

“Everyone was paranoid,” she said. “The children had more rights than the workers.”

As it is with a fascist empire.  As it is under the Obama Administration.

Brown shirts.  See above.

She said children in the camp had measles, scabies, chicken pox and strep throat as well as mental and emotional issues.

“It was not a good atmosphere in terms of health,” she said. “I would be talking to children and lice would just be climbing down their hair.”

A former nurse at the camp told me she was horrified by what she saw.

“We have so many kids coming in that there was no way to control all of the sickness – all this stuff coming into the country,” she said. “We were very concerned at one point about strep going around the base.”

Both the counselor and the nurse said their superiors tried to cover up the extent of the illnesses.

“When they found out the kids had scabies, the charge nurse was adamant – ‘Don’t mention that. Don’t say scabies,’” the nurse recounted. “But everybody knew they had scabies. Some of the workers were very concerned about touching things and picking things up. They asked if they should be concerned, but they were told don’t worry about it.”

The nurse said the lice issue was epidemic – but everything was kept “hush-hush.”

“You could see the bugs crawling through their hair,” she said. “After we would rinse out their hair, the sink would be loaded with black bugs.”

The nurse told me she became especially alarmed because their files indicated the children had been transported to Lackland on domestic charter buses and airplanes.

“That’s what alerted me,” she said. “Oh, my God. They’re flying these kids around. Nobody knows that these children have scabies and lice. To tell you the truth, there’s no way to control it.”

“There’s no way to control it.”

Thank you, Mr Obama, Michelle Obama, Leftists, Progressives, Demorats.
