Title: The New ACORN
Post by: Solar on July 26, 2014, 07:42:33 AM
A Texas-based organization that has been awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in federal contracts by the Obama administration to house illegal immigrant children not only lobbied the federal government, but also failed to properly disclose the activity.

After The Daily Caller inquired about its lobbying disclosures, BCFS, a San Antonio-based nonprofit, now says it may correct its tax forms to properly disclose its lobbying expenditures.

The Obama administration, through the Department of Health and Human Services, has tapped BCFS, formerly known as Baptist Child & Family Services, to provide security and other services to unaccompanied children at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, and Ft. Sill army base near Lawton, Okla.

BCFS has become the largest provider of such services for the child immigrants, who are part of a massive influx of mostly Central Americans that has put the Obama administration on its heels.

Let me see. Do they have a roof over their heads? Three squares a day? A new set of duds? A medical checkup and all their vaccinations?  Okay we've done enough - rent an ocean liner, and take them back.

Good reporting by Chuck Ross.   That explains the astonishingly stupid luxury hotel gambit.  'Baptist'...

I'm surprised that Project Veritas hasn't updated any ACORN exposure-info since late June.  Beck/The Blaze outed another ACORN offshoot, the Southwestern Key group, last Spring before Beck's recent 'softening'.

Wendy Davis' Battleground Texas PAC is on life-support, at least.  They're not touching this one.
