$50 mil. , 5-yr deal signed by feds to house border-crossers in Greensboro
Tillisville appears to be OPEN FOR BUSINESS!
A deal signed within the last few days by the Biden Administration is offering more clues to Greensboro residents about what is to happen at the old American Hebrew Academy site:
The federal government will pay close to $50 million to use the campus of the former American Hebrew Academy in northwestern Greensboro for the next five years, according to a U.S. government spending report. The United States Department of Health and Human Services plans to use the facility to host immigrant children.
AHA’s board announced last month that it had entered into a 5-year contract — with an option for 5 more years — with the USDHHS to provide a transitional campus called Greensboro Global Academy for immigrant children awaiting reunification with family members or others in the U.S.
The report shows a $49,758,419.44 contract between the Department of Health and Human Services and American Hebrew Academy Inc. The start date is listed as June 9 with an end date of July 8, 2027.[…]
Five years with an option for FIVE MORE. Wow. This is clearly not a short-term thing. The feds are planning to flood North Carolina with thousands of these border-crossers at a time. Greensboro is the entry point, and the whole operation could go on TEN YEARS OR MORE.
MORE:
[…]The academy has 100 acres on a gated campus at 4334 Hobbs Road that includes 31 buildings of 412,712 square feet, an $18 million athletic center and natatorium, a variety of athletic fields and even a 22-acre lake. The facility would be used to provide housing, classrooms and recreational facilities for children who are unaccompanied or who are waiting for family members and sponsors.
Two meetings are planned among “stakeholders” involved with the plans to host immigrant children on the campus of the former American Hebrew Academy in northwestern Greensboro.
The meetings are set for on or about July 19, WGHP has learned, but it’s unclear exactly who the “stakeholders” are and the format the meetings might take.
William Scarborough, who has been managing the AHA property, confirmed there would be meetings but referred all other questions to HHS. “It is an HHS presentation,” he said.
An email to HHS did not draw an immediate response. WGHP also reached out to Ron Miller, of Ron Miller & Associates, a public relations firm in Greensboro that was involved with the original announcement and is working with HHS, but a call and email drew no immediate response.
It is uncertain whether these meetings would involve residents or the general public, and, if not, whether such meetings might occur.
No opening date has been announced, and the numbers and other data about the children have not been released by HHS.
The ORR operates about 200 facilities in 22 states and has done so since 2002’s Homeland Security Act. In Fiscal Year 2021 the program handled 122,731 children, its information sheet says.
HHS says the children stay for a few months and receive educational, physical, mental and recreational services. The facility is hiring about 800 people for a variety of positions.
ORR says that in Fiscal Year 2021 about 7 out of 10 children at its facilities were 14 or older, and two-thirds were boys. About half of them were from Guatemala and about a third from Honduras. The rest were from El Salvador and other countries.
There had been reports that the facility would open on July 9 – the original goal was July – but Scarborough said earlier that “no start date has been established, and I can assure you it won’t be July 9. There are no representatives of HHS nor any other agency on campus at this time.”
U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson (R-Concord), who represents the 9th Congressional District, sent a letter two weeks ago to HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and Office of Refugee Resettlement Acting Director Andrea Chapman to ask about the plan, which emerged as a possibility in May 2021. His letter was cosigned by Ted Budd (R-Advance), of the nearby 13th District, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-Banner Elk) of the 5th District and the five other Republicans serving North Carolina in Congress.
Neither Budd nor Rep. Kathy Manning (D-Greensboro), whose 6th District includes the facility, has commented on Hudson’s letter, but a spokesperson for Hudson had said he heard about the plan from a constituent. Greensboro officials said they have heard little from residents who were concerned about the facility.
But some residents are expressing concerns:
[…] Mark Hobson, a homeowner in the area, last week expressed concerns about the numbers – and the ages – of children who might be housed at the facility. He said he and some of his neighbors were concerned about how the facility might affect their home values, which can range into the high six figures. “What would happen to property taxes then?” he asked. “I love this city.”
Hobson, who says he totally supports legal immigration but thinks the current border control to be “crazy,” also pointed out the data HHS discloses about its facilities and begs questions about what the actual population might be.[…]
*Nice.*
(*Um, I mean bueno.*)
One question that needs to be asked is how many of these “children” will REALLY be children? DHS just takes their word for their age in spite of the temptation to lie due to the advantage to an illegal alien of being classified as a “child”.
In Europe, some countries have started to verify age, and are finding that over half of those who claim to be “unaccompanied minors” are in fact adults who are lying about their age. In Norway, which used dental development exams to ascertain real age, they found that ninety percent of those claiming to be unaccompanied minors were actually adults lying about their age.
That is clearly happening here as well. A few months ago, a Florida father was murdered by an illegal alien who had been brought to the state by the Biden regime after he claimed to be an “unaccompanied minor”. After his arrest, the perp was found to actually be in his 20s.
There have been multiple cases in Europe of illegal aliens being let in as “unaccompanied minors” then committing murders or terrorist acts and then being found to actually be adults. The most publicized was the illegal alien claiming to be an “unaccompanied minor” who raped and murdered the beautiful medical student daughter of a high EU official, and at trial his own father told the court he was really 27 years old. It also came out that the same illegal alien had been convicted in Greece when he was on his way to Germany of attempted murder of a young Greek woman but had been released early by Greece on condition he leave the country.
The extremely violent MS13 criminal gang is one that uses the “unaccompanied minor” pipeline to bring its thugs into the country. How many MS13 criminals will be deposited in Greensboro? The Biden regime does not even stop them when an illegal alien is covered in MS13 tattoos.
Tillisville? That is a great designation for this illegal alien camp. Tillis is stabbing Republican voters in the back by being part of a Senate “gang” that is working on an amnesty bill for illegal aliens.
THIS is the Biden/Coop/Stein project and WE the state taxpayers and fed taxpayers PAY their entire way in life.
THIS is what occurs when there is NO state opposition!
A poster in another thread felt led to take some of the ‘armchairs’ to task.
I’ll ask him, are you good with THIS set up? This development? 5Y and then ANOTHER 5Y? At that point, some or most are young adults.
Sitting on the laurels of the ‘we don’t have the votes’ have been used nationally for yrs upon yrs upon yrs. Same NOW for the state. The super-majority was lost, IMO, due to the distrust of leaders, party members. Legal matters, legal woes, corruption…dang, sound more like dems to me…but hey, it’s was the REPUBLICANS.
NC IS A MAJOR disaster currently. THE ray of hope is Lt Gov Robinson, whom the party neither supports NOR uses for their causes. My take is he’s WAY TOO CONSERVATIVE for them….I’ve heard numerous accts that the personal release of info about his family was done in-house to destroy him. Not shocked one iota.
WHY does the NCGOP not utilize Lt Gov Robinson? Who fires up the crowd and rallies the troops any better. And they best look at the voting numbers. Robinson raked in massive vote totals….
But, he’s like us. Just useful fodder every 2Y and 4Y to ‘retain’, keep power and the clear message is, we don’t need nor want your input, your recommendations, your suggestions and certainly not your values or principles…Just the votes, please…Same for Burr, Tillis, Murphy, et als through the years….
