Anyone following the illegal (repeat ILLEGAL) immigration scandal we are facing at the hands of a weak administration will know that the feds are moving these people around the country, trying to find suitable quarters for them while they are being 'processed'. Children make up a good portion of the people coming in, certainly in an attempt to cast logic aside and tug at American heartstrings. Also in this group are felons, gang bangers, drug traffickers and sexual predators. So, it is not just little cherubs coming over in search of a better life. They also bring with them a number of illnesses we haven't seen for a while, border agents are being infected. This should be a concern for everyone, on multiple levels regardless of which side of the political aisle you are on. Also raising this writer's eyebrow is the desire for the UN to get involved - those blue helmet globalists would just love to insert themselves as a force on American soil, but I digress.
Our little state has been approached to take these ILLEGAL immigrants in. Here is one inquiry I was made aware of, certainly there may be others either in process or to come. Now mind you, in CA, VA, and potentially MD people have caught wind of these activities and have managed to hold them back. Negotiations are not always in the public eye. Please see the article in the CT Mirror via this link. Southbury Training School was inquired about.

How will you respond to an attempt to bring a large group of ILLEGAL immigrants to your community knowing nothing about them or what they brought with them over the border? As you read the article keep in mind that when the Feds promise no cost to the local community or state it still comes out of your pocket - that is where the Feds get their money. So, they rob Peter to pay Paul, just shifting the cost from one pocket to the next.
