Invasion update: No visitors allowed on federal facilities, CDC opens Emergency Operations Center

Fort Sill houses 1,200 unaccompanied children, but members of the U.S. Congress are not allowed in:
A congressman trying to visit a federal facility housing unaccompanied illegal immigrants from Central America was denied access to the building today.

According to a press release, Rep. Jim Bridenstine, R-Okla., attempted to visit the Fort Sill Army post—run by the Department of Health and Human Services—in Lawton, Okla., Tuesday but was told that he would have to schedule an appointment to enter the building.

Bridenstine says an HHS official told him he could schedule a visit in three weeks.

Rep. Bridenstine, a member of the Armed Services Committe, explained why he wanted to visit the facility,

Many of the children are sick,

Three or four children were reportedly taken to Rady’s Children’s Hospital on Tuesday night, although details of the hospital visits or what diseases the children may have were not immediately available.

There are also high incidences of communicable diseases,

The Central American passengers were screened for unknown diseases and at least 40 were being quarantined at the Border Patrol Chula Vista Station with active scabies and head lice.

Murrieta Border Patrol agents are testing positive for Tuberculosis. Hand and Foot Disease, and Chagos, both previously eradicated from the area, are on the rise.

In related news, CDC CONFIRMS ACTIVATION OF “EMERGENCY OPERATION CENTER” IN RESPONSE TO IMMIGRANT INFLUX
After months, federal health agency responsible for “disease control and prevention” breaks silence.

“The CDC Emergency Operations Center is activated during events such as hurricanes or disease outbreaks,” a 2009 CDC video about the EOC states.

Oh, wait, they’re not illegal aliens, they’re #RefugeeRiders. And they’re here to stay: Little known law could allow many of the unaccompanied children to remain in the U.S. legally if they are “abandoned”

Today’s update on the immigrant invasion

At Drudge:

Flood the border. Crisis. Opportunity:

Obama wants to use the crisis for one of two things (or maybe both, come to think of it): (1) coercing Republicans into passing a “comprehensive” bill and giving him what he wants, on pain of being called obstructionist do-nothings (2) doing it himself and getting exactly what he wants.

So far, the plan has worked for him.

Venezuelan army protection racket at Guyana border

The usual diversion of tyrants? Or an offer someone refused?

(h/t Monica’s FB feed & commenter Tom),

Military officers said to have trespassed on the Essequibo
Guyanese president not to issue any statement until probe’s results.

Looks like the bribe went missing,

According to Stabroek News the civilians attacked, which are part of an illicit gold mining and smuggling network, failed to pay the soldiers a periodical fee in exchange for them turning a blind eye to illegal mining on Venezuelan territory.

Meanwhile someone had A rude awakening in Bonn .

Obama to heal illegals with $2billion

On the one hand, Obama Seeks More Than $2 Billion in Border Control Funds
White House Wants Authority to Return Children to Their Native Countries Faster

President Barack Obama is seeking more than $2 billion to respond to the surge in children and other migrants from Central America who are illegally crossing the U.S. border, and is asking for new authority to return them home more quickly, the White House said Sunday.

On the other hand, Rep. Luis [D-IL] Gutierrez said Tuesday that President Barack Obama has the power to “heal” undocumented immigrants, as Obama said Monday he would begin using his authority to bolster border security and consider taking other steps on his own to change the nation’s immigration policy.

Neoneocon translated all of the above into plain English: Obama announces he has to crown himself king because Congress won’t, and the $2billion comes from our hard-earned dollars: 

the border element will mysteriously fall by the wayside, and the entire operation will end up only expediting the granting of asylum to most of the parents and children who have come here illegally, under the argument that they are fleeing in fear of their lives and also under our family reunification policy. He’ll try to keep the statistics on all of this hush-hush. But it will accomplish his goal, and he will extend programs like his executive action of June 2012 that started the whole Cloward-Piven illegal immigration ball rolling.

“On my own, without Congress.”

In fact, Democrats had full control of both houses of Congress during the first two years of his administration and Obama did – 0 – on immigration.

It’s not about immigration: it’s about consolidating power.

————————————-

Let’s say there are 20 million illegals here.
$2 billion divided by 20 million = $100,000 apiece

I can self-“heal” a lot on that.
