The Billion-Dollar Business of Operating Shelters for Migrant Children

Part if not much of the reason they won't let go of the kids.

HARLINGEN, Tex. — The business of housing, transporting and watching over migrant children detained along the southwest border is not a multimillion-dollar business.

It’s a billion-dollar one.

The nonprofit Southwest Key Programs has won at least $955 million in federal contracts since 2015 to run shelters and provide other services to immigrant children in federal custody. Its shelter for migrant boys at a former Walmart Supercenter in South Texas has been the focus of nationwide scrutiny, but Southwest Key is but one player in the lucrative, secretive world of the migrant-shelter business. About a dozen contractors operate more than 30 facilities in Texas alone, with numerous others contracted for about 100 shelters in 16 other states.

If there is a migrant-shelter hub in America, then it is perhaps in the four-county Rio Grande Valley region of South Texas, where about a dozen shelters occupy former stores, schools and medical centers. They are some of the region’s biggest employers, though what happens inside is often highly confidential: One group has employees sign nondisclosure agreements, more a fixture of the high-stakes corporate world than of nonprofit child-care centers.

4. Yeah, Cui Bono.. Not just for Cruelty.. 'cause he's

a freaking Sadist.

3. Betsy Devos is getting a cut, she is operating a shelter, warehousing 65 migrant children.

7. She sells kids, actually.

The Bethany Christian Orphanage or some such, has been around for years. If you want to adopt a kid from Columbia, for instance, it will cost over 50,000 in "fees". They take the kids, claiming that they are orphans who lost their parents . After some months, maybe a year, they get custody thru a local court ( I am sure this is a rubber stamp job) and can now sell the kid.
No word on what happens to the unadoptable.
Or who they sell them to.

The very fact they took 65 of the kids from the border kidnaps tells you what they are about.

8. The unadopted probably are used for slave labor in one of her Amway factory's.

9. You know what? You may be close.

They are institutionalized at an early age, have no parents who can find them, can be given labels of social deviance; once you have a record of being given psychiatric meds, no one will hesitate to believe what the file says.
Eventually you can rack up charges for any bit of violent behavior, and when old enough, join Erik Prince's growing army of mercenaries.
Or end up gas lighted in to a prison.
Either way, somebody will be profiting from you every single day.

5. I'd like to see,

A detailed list of those in this administration , and in Congress, and donors who own stocks in these companies, and who stand to profit from this policy in an way.

"Shit can always get worse."
