HHS Bars Congressman From Seeing Immigrant Children

These aren't the immigrants we're looking for. Nothing to see here. Move along.

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.”

There are 1,200 immigrant children at the base. Bridenstine’s office explained that HHS releases the children to a “sponsor” in the United States. 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.

“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.”

Just you wait until Obama hears about this. He'll be outraged, and will get to the bottom of this..

Have you heard what the guards are calling themselves? Brown shirts. That's what I've heard. Do they think they're funny? Or are they just ignorant? Brown shirts were the Nazi stormtroopers, right?

Well if this Congresssmen has a problem with HHS behavior he COULD shut his mouth and go back to DC and START to remove HHS from the next budget. Any bets on what he WILL do?

Precisely. There are apparently a ton of microbial hitch-hikers coming in with all these future voters, along with the usual 6-legged visible ones.
