Homeless Shelter Cleared to House Illegal Aliens,
Dozens Infected with COVID-19

As if the illegal immigrant crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border were not bad enough,
homeless Americans have been booted from a temporary shelter in southern California
to make room for scores of migrants, dozens of them infected with COVID-19. Since
the Biden administration rolled out the welcome mat, thousands of illegal aliens have
entered the country, most of them minors classified as Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC)
by the feds. Now the government is scrambling to meet its legal obligation of caring
for them at facilities nationwide operated by the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS).

In this case, homeless residents were apparently cleared out of the San Diego Convention
Center prematurely to accommodate up to 1,450 UAC, though city officials claim the
decision to stop using the facility for the homeless predates the illegal alien crunch.
Homeless San Diegans have been housed at the center for about a year as part of an
initiative to halt the spread of COVID-19. The San Diego City Council voted to extend
the program through March, but evidently it was cut short to bring in the illegal immigrants.
The city will relocate about 500 homeless individuals to two local shelters, according to
a local news report. “The convention center will be used to house migrants through July
and will be operated by the federal government and the county,” the story says.

So far there are about 743 UAC at the convention center, according to government figures
cited in a local news report this week. At least 82 of the migrant teenagers have tested
positive for COVID-19. Just this week 247 girls arrived at the makeshift shelter and of
that group, 32 have COVID-19, the article states. “Another girl who was placed in the
COVID exposed group contracted the virus,” the news story reveals, adding that
“officials said none of the minors who tested positive have needed to be hospitalized.”
An HHS spokesperson named Bonnie Preston is cited in several news stories saying that
the majority of the girls tested positive for the virus before arriving in San Diego and
six tested positive upon arrival. The HHS spokesperson further reveals that about 250
UAC will arrive every other day until the convention center reaches its capacity.

There are around 11,551—and counting—illegal immigrant minors in HHS shelters and
another 5,000 in the custody of the U.S. Border Patrol, according to the government.
In February alone, more than 7,000 UAC were placed in facilities funded by American
taxpayers. Border Patrol figures show that in January there was a 64% increase in UAC
over the same one-month period last year with two Texas sectors—Big Bend and
Del Rio—seeing the biggest increase in UAC traffic over the same one-month period in
2020, 141% and 122% respectively. The problem is only going to get worse as thousands
more are allowed in by the Biden administration. Under federal law HHS takes custody
of UAC, identified as illegal immigrants under the age of 18, and must provide care for
them. The agency funds and oversees around 170 state-licensed care facilities to house
the minors when they arrive from foreign countries south of the border.

American taxpayers provide them with an array of services including classroom education,
mental and medical health care, legal counsel, and a variety of recreational activities.
The overwhelming majority of the migrants—72%—are not children but rather young
adults or adolescents 15 to 17 years old, government records show. Most of the youths
are from Guatemala and Honduras and 68% are male, which has tremendously boosted
gang recruitment in this country. Federal authorities have for years confirmed that the
nation’s most violent street gangs—including the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13)—recruit new
members at U.S. shelters housing UAC. Long before COVID-19, health issues were a
serious concern among the hordes of illegal immigrant minors allowed into the U.S. by
the Obama administration because they brought in serious diseases, including swine flu,
dengue fever and possibly Ebola.

The San Diego Convention Center accommodations are not the only special treatment
that the illegal immigrants are receiving. They also get live teachers while the pandemic
forces local children whose parents fund the public school system to receive instruction
online. This week a federal lawmaker, Congressman Darrell Issa, blasted the idea in a
statement following reports that teachers will be sent to the San Diego Convention Center
to provide in-person instruction for the illegal immigrants. “For more than a year, parents
and students in San Diego County have waited for educators to answer one question:
When will our schools reopen with in-person instruction only? And for a year, they’ve been
told to wait. The decision to provide in-person instruction to illegal migrants is outrageous
and parents have every right to be angry.”

eh gads. When do Americans come first? Our elders and disabled and veterans have not received any stimulus. Soon they say. Why can we not help US citizens during the worst pandemic of our lifetimes?

America is not healthy enough, financially or physically, or emotionally to take in all extra people when we have severe food shortages. We have little housing and it is being given to others. The local hotels that widows and such would rent on a monthly basis, they have tossed out tenants so the non citizens can have them.

We are a destroyed country now. Treat your citizens better. Do better. And Kamala laughs...
