[BLOOMBERG] Amid a resurgence in the pace of unaccompanied migrant children crossing the U.S. border, President Barack Obama
If you have a small business, you didn't build that...
is facing angry opposition as he searches for places to house them temporarily.

The administration is attempting to assemble a network of shelters on military bases and other federal facilities to lodge thousands of children

awaiting immigration proceedings after fleeing violence in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. That's hit a nerve in communities, some in crucial presidential swing states such as Colorado and Florida, where potential facilities were announced without community input and later scrapped.

"I don't want a military base to be an orphanage," said Veronica Kemeny, president of the Republican Veterans of Florida, who lives in Panama City near an Air Force Base that was named as a potential shelter.

#7  Not Nome, Raj, what did they deserve to receive all these people?

How about Chicago, Detroit, Flint, DC, White House, Capitol Bldg, Congress Critters homes? There are consequences. Pres and Congress need to feel the pain.

#6  ...mostly boys aged 15-19 years?

More like children, boys, ages 15 - 36.

Setup some camps inside the gated communities of Hollywood and Washington DC Suburbs.

#4  ..fleeing violence in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras..

Shall we compare body counts with Chicago, St Louis, DC, et al?

Of course I can understand the failure to grasp the question given the continuous and ongoing Permanent Party Propaganda Machine's efforts to suppress real news and information.

A PCorrect-Deniable way of saying the US will restrict itself to CONUS-NORAM-N-ONLY-CONUS-NORAM + peripherals/littorals???

#1  Put the first several hundred into the White House. Then a 1000 or so into the US capital building. Have our members of Congress take 5 each into their personal households. Federal judges can also pitch in.
