The United Methodist Home for Children Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania Cumberland County is accepting illegal aliens, the children, bought and paid for. The community in Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania cannot seem to get any information, other than sunshine and lolly pop answers from the Administrators that applied and accepted Barack Obama's corrupt and stolen cash from taxpayers to fund the housing and feeding of tens of thousands of illegal alien children. It is thought that many organizations are corrupt, trying to get the money, some say up to $7,600.00 per month per illegal kid they shelter and feed?

The United Methodist Home for Children Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania Cumberland County is accepting illegal aliens, the children, bought and paid for.  The community in Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania cannot seem to get any information, other than sunshine and lolly pop answers from the Administrators that applied and accepted Barack Obama's corrupt and stolen cash from taxpayers to fund the housing and feeding of tens of thousands of illegal alien children.  It is thought that many organizations are corrupt, trying to get the money, some say up to $7,600.00 per month per illegal kid they shelter and feed?  

“The immigration policies of President Obama are having a devastating effect on the classical American goal of a fair, lawful system of immigration that serves the national interests. Mechanicsburg Pa did not ask for illegal aliens, Cumberland County now has thousands of illegal aliens, taking jobs, absorbing benefits, taking up expensive space in schools and in time will fill the jails. Obama - He has directed federal immigration officers not to enforce plain law. He meets privately with pro-amnesty, open borders groups, and special interest business groups and promises to take even more action to erase law. If the start is illegal then the middle and the ending must be illegal.  How can the Methodist Home for Children claim their god and be lawless?  How can they accept stolen taxpayer money to fill their own accounts and be honest?  How in the world do they explain the cash for kids game being played by Obama?

Unfortunately our fine enforcement officers are excluded from the discussion. The President’s actions evidence no policy or guiding principle that is sustainable.  The local community is out of the room, nothing to say, nothing to see, just keep the line moving. 

Now, the heretofore largely covert actions by the President are open and blatant. 

The actions of the Methodist Home for Children are also blatant but they stand with their bibles and ask for the money.  They stand on their tax-free land and wait for Obama to send a monthly check.  Is this collusion and corruption?

He has told the world that with a stroke of his pen, he will, by presidential directive, by executive action,  Barack Obama Scott Perry, Sheryl Delozier Robert Casey Jr Patrick Toomey Lou Barletta provide legal status to 5 to 6 million persons unlawfully present in the United States and organizations like the Methodist Home for Children in Mechanicsburg PA Cumberland County stands ready to help Obama break the law, a million times over. All this contrary to long-established law. But, there is more. He has said that he will issue them photo identification cards with, astoundingly, work authorization permits.  The thousands of illegal aliens in Cumberland County, Franklin County, York County, Perry County and Dauphin County is enormous.  The numbers are growing and your income is shrinking.  They, this very day, fill up the blue buses from Harrisburg Pennsylvania and are carried to warehouse jobs, distribution jobs, fulfillment jobs and hundreds of others so the employers can avoid paying too much.  This influx of cheap labor and high social cost is a disaster and the United Methodist Home for Children will surely have some social price to pay.

Surely we know that the President cannot make law. Congress makes law. As chief executive, the President executes, carries out, and enforces law. This we learn in grade school but you see Obama has changed everything, covering his tracks, keeping you off balance he watches you stumble around.

 This constitutional construct is not a small matter. It is the mechanism by which this nation conducts its governmental business. Through this method, the people control their government but now the government controls you.  People, many, laugh when you toss out the names of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and other devils and contrast them agains Barack Obama. Allowing any president to nullify law is a threat to the future of our Republic and the power of the people and the people of Europe still remember.  Government can kill you, starve you or educate and protect you.  When will you notice? 

That is why I have urged President Obama to reconsider this plan—and to adhere to his plain statements where he expressly stated that he did not have the power to do what he now, in a complete reversal, states he will do and we urge the Methodist Home for Children to change their minds, come home to the neighborhood and never support the illegal actions of any man for money. 

As compiled by FOX News:

President Obama: November 25, 2013

“If, in fact, I could solve all these problems without passing them through Congress, I would do so. But we’re also a nation of laws.”

President Obama: March 28, 2011

“With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that’s just not the case. There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as President.”

President Obama: September 28, 2011

“I just have to continue to say this notion that somehow I can just change the laws unilaterally is just not true. We are doing everything we can administratively. But the fact of the matter is there are laws on the books that I have to enforce. And I think there’s been a great disservice done to the cause of getting the DREAM Act passed and getting comprehensive immigration passed by perpetrating the notion that somehow, by myself, I can go and do these things. It’s just not true. But we live in a democracy. You have to pass bills through the legislature, and then I can sign it.”

I know this is a somewhat postmodern time where many believe words have no meaning except as they advance one’s agenda of the day. But, such approaches are wholly inconsistent with the founding concepts of America. We were founded on the belief that words do have meaning, that sound principles must be adhered to, and that truth is real and must be sought.

While we debate many issues and good people can disagree, surely we can all agree that at this moment we are in the United States Senate chamber and that it’s daylight outside. Those are matters not for debate else we are indeed through the “looking glass.” Likewise, surely it’s not a matter of debate, among Democrat or Republican, that the President cannot make law or nullify law. He just cannot.

Thus, we must in unity call on President Obama not to go through with his stated desire to eviscerate long and duly established American immigration law. What law might the next president ignore, bend, or nullify?

It is said that he has ordered his lawyers and officials to tell him how he may carry out such actions before the end of the summer. Apparently, he did not ask them whether he had such power, but he ordered them to develop a plan to do that which the law does not allow.

Mr. President, frustration and pique can result in hasty and unwise decisions. Please do not do this. And, to the officials and lawyers who have received this directive, you must always remember that your first duty is to the Constitution and the nation’s laws. Our history has been littered with events when officials have had to stand up for the Constitution and tell the President “no.” Usually, after a time, they cool down and back off. That’s what you must do now.

We must avoid the turmoil and acrimony that such lawless executive action will bring. The nation must not add another bitter controversy to the ones existing.

My remarks are not in the nature of negotiation or compromise. To yield on important principles in order to avoid a threatened unlawful action can never be honorable. To do so is to capitulate to intimidation. So Mr. President, we, the peoples’ representatives, will not be intimidated. We cannot yield. Our duty is clear. To defend the duly established and moral immigration laws of this country, while at the same time defending the constitutional order of this nation.

After due consideration, the House of Representatives, in a bipartisan vote, has sent to the Senate legislation that will bar you or your executive branch subordinates from expending any funds to carry out any executive amnesty or work authorizations. That action is right, just, and a product of plain duty.

Now, it is time for the Senate to consider and concur.

The people are discovering the magnitude of this proposed presidential overreach. They will not accept it, Sir. They will defend their law and the limits they have placed on their leaders.

So, let cool heads prevail. Reconsider, Mr. President. Do not stain your presidency with this overreach.

[Yet t]his Sunday, White House advisor Dan Pfeiffer repeated the Obama Administration’s warning of an impending executive action on immigration. Mr. Pfeiffer said this action would come at “the end of summer.”

According to repeated and multiple news reports, these executive actions could provide administrative “legal” papers and work permits to up to 5–6 million illegal immigrants—in clear contravention of federal law.

If these actions are taken, we will have effectively opened the borders of America. We are nearly there already.

Consider:

·        Millions of people come to America every year on visas. Currently, if you overstay a visa, there is no legal consequence. No one is coming to get you. If you get a student visa and drop out, or you come on a work visa and it expires, or you just come on a tourist visa and never leave, you are allowed to stay. And the Congressional Budget Office said in analyzing the Gang Of Eight bill that came through the Senate, that as much as 40 percent of the illegality in America today is the result of visa overstays. They also projected that that was going to increase in the years to come.

·        If you get past Border Patrol and settle in the interior of the country, you are also allowed to stay. As the President’s former ICE Director, John Sandgweg, explained: “If you are a run-of-the-mill immigrant here illegally, your odds of getting deported are close to zero.” In order to be deported from the interior, you basically have to commit a serious criminal offense. Otherwise, you are mostly free to enter illegally, work illegally, and even collect benefits like the Additional Child Tax Credit. Chris Crane, head of the ICE Officers’ Association, testified before Congress that:

“Most Americans would be surprised to know that immigration agents are regularly prohibited from enforcing the two most fundamental sections of United States immigration law. According to ICE policy, in most cases immigration agents can no longer arrest persons solely for entering the United States illegally. Additionally, in most cases immigration agents cannot arrest persons solely because they have entered the United States with a visa and then overstayed that visa and failed to return to their country. Essentially, only individuals charged or convicted of very serious criminal offenses by other law enforcement agencies may be arrested or charged by ICE agents and officers for illegal entry or overstay.”

·        If you show up at the border and simply turn yourself in, you are often released into the interior of the country. A recent article interviewed a 27-year-old illegal immigrant from Honduras. The paper wrote that he had “arrived in Freehold Borough 15 days ago from Honduras.” The article says he “left behind his parents and 10 brothers and sisters,” but “he is hoping his family will join him in America at some point in the future.”

·        Once illegal immigrants have been released into the interior, they frequently do not show up for court hearings. National Review reports:

“In one day at a Los Angeles immigration court last week, Judge Ashley Tabaddor heard the cases of nearly 40 illegal immigrant minors, but none of the children appeared in court, according to the Los Angeles Times. In each case, the illegal immigrant minor was thought to have settled elsewhere, and the judge reportedly decided not to deport the children in absentia. Instead, Tabaddor—who declined to speak with National Review, citing Justice Department policy—reportedly issued change-of-venue orders in each case.”

Which basically means nothing. If you fail to show up in court on a DUI or a speeding ticket or a reckless driving ticket, a warrant is issued for your arrest. That’s what happens in America throughout this nation. That’s what should happen. But a person who enters the country unlawfully is released and asked to show up at a hearing at some date in the future and just doesn’t show up; the judge apparently transfers it to some other district on the assumption that the individual has moved to some other place. How do they know where they are? And nobody will go out and look for them. There’s nobody looking for these individuals. They’re not even able to put a warrant in the National Crime Information Center because they probably don’t even have their true name or any ability to identify them. It’s a complete capitulation to lawlessness.

·        But there are more ways into the U.S. illicitly. Our asylum system is plagued by fraud. The House Judiciary Committee reports:

“Asylum approval rates overall have increased dramatically in recent years. Approval rates by asylum officers have increased from 28% in 2007 to 46% in 2013 and approval rates by immigration judges in affirmative cases have increased from 51% in 2007 to 74% in 2013. Combining both of these approval rates, the vast majority of aliens who affirmatively seek asylum are now successful in their claims. This does not even take into account appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals or federal courts. At the same time, an internal Department of Homeland Security report shows that at least 70% of asylum cases contain proven or possible fraud.”

Our system is not lawful. It’s not principled. It does not have integrity. And it has no ability to carry out the wishes of the American people, which has always been to have a system that’s effective and lawful and serves the national interest. And remember, all of these entries are in addition to the huge flow of annual permanent immigration into the U.S., as well as temporary work authorization. Between 2000 and today, the U.S. government issued nearly 30 million lawful visas for individuals and their relatives to either live permanently in the U.S. or to come and take a job.

Now consider what will happen to our system if the President goes through with his plan to provide work authorization to another 5 million people living illegally in the United States. What immigration law will be left? The government is not enforcing visa overstays, illegal entry, illegal work, or asylum fraud. And now the President is just going to start printing millions of work permits for people illegally in the country—after Congress loudly declared “NO”?

Anyone ICE officers come into contact with will simply assert protections and eligibility under the new action. Well, if there are 11 million, 12 million people here today, what happens to the other five million to six million? Well, any ICE officer that comes in contact with them, these individuals will assert that they’re entitled to the protections and eligibility under the new executive action. And new illegal immigrants will flood across—as they did after the President’s executive amnesty for people under the age of 30—waiting until this President or the next grants them their work privileges in the United States. Illegal immigrants won’t even have to wait for Congress to pass amnesty.

Again, what immigration law will be left? The President has simply decided—on his own, without Congress or legal authority—that the immigration laws protecting the jobs and wages of U.S. workers don’t exist anymore. The President has taken it upon himself to decide who can enter the U.S. and who can work in the U.S.—by the millions—regardless of what laws have been passed. The President talks often of justice, but one of the gravest injustices that has been done is to deny the American people the protections of their own laws.

But my message to the American people today is this: you can stop this. We can stop it together. We will not let this stand.

And that fight begins with a vote on the House-passed bill to block this new executive action. The Senate cannot be allowed to surrender to the President’s lawlessness. It cannot. I am calling today on every Senator to support this bill, and to demand Majority Leader Reid call it up for a vote.

Let me share a message with my friends on the other side of the aisle. Each of you will have to decide whether you work for Majority Leader Reid, or whether you work for your constituents. Will you protect their jobs and their borders? Will you demand your Senate Leader bring this House bill up for a vote? If you oppose these executive actions, there is only one way to demonstrate it: support the House bill and demand it receive a vote in the Senate.

And to every member of the public, red state or blue state or purple state, call your Senator and ask them where they stand. Ask them if they support the House bill to block executive amnesty and if they will demand it receive a vote. You are a citizen of this country and you are entitled to a clear answer to this question.”

Who is Kathy J. Eppley?  

Why does she want my money?  

United Methodist Home for Children Inc. is a business and it seems its more and more about cash money.  Kathy J. Eppley is a Vice President of United Methodist Home for Children and she's authorized the U.S. mailing of letters to the Mechanicsburg PA area community asking for money.  

I find it surprising that the letter did not mention that Illegal Aliens were going to be housed in Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania, no mention at all?  

Foster parents for the immigrants can receive up to $7,400 per month in child support payments from the federal government so you must wonder how much grant money per illegal alien child does the United Methodist Home for Children receive.  Do they receive more money for MS-13 GANG MEMBERS?  The social justice movement (socialism) has come to Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania and we can thank the United Methodist Home for Children for bringing illegal aliens to our schools and neighborhoods. 

Prior to being released onto U.S. soil, most of the illegal immigrants spend a relatively short amount of time in a federal housing facilities. Some such shelters have recently come under scrutiny for providing the migrants with taxpayer-subsidized luxuries such as all-you-can-eat buffets, flat screen televisions, Internet access, and hair salons.

The United Methodist Home for Children, Tax Exempt, Accepts Illegal Aliens from Central America Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania Illegal Alien Children, Federal Grant Money Authorized Tea Party After years of falling wages and rising joblessness, American workers are pleading for someone to hear them. How can it be that our President is brazenly advertising that he will nullify and strip away American workers’ immigration protections, and their own elected leaders will not rise to their defense? Or to the defense of our laws and our Constitutional order?

There are other grave concerns with the Granger package as well: because it does not fix our asylum rules and loopholes, the end result of the additional judges and hearings will be more illegal immigrants gaining asylum and access to U.S. welfare. It is a plan for expedited asylum, not expedited removal.

The United Methodist Home for Children, Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania.  Question; How much money in cash grants are you going to receive per illegal alien child you feed, transport and shelter.  It seems the going cash rate, per illegal alien, per month, is $7,000 per month.  The United Methodist Home for Children needs to disclose the taxpayer money they plan to rack in keeping up with the poor illegal alien children.  At $7,000 per month 10 little rascals equal $70,000 per month.  

If the United Methodist Home for Children in Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania gets lucky and nets twenty little rascals they could maybe get $140,000 in cash from the taxpayers monthly. 

 If this is even close, the United Methodist Home for Children in Mechanicsburg PA is a money making racket, which is perfect considering the illegal alien children have a mix of MS-13 gang members.  

The United Methodist Home for Children in Mechanicsburg PA needs to disclose the cash income for each illegal alien child they keep within Cumberland County and we can all discover why they are Federal Tax Exempt?  

The United Methodist Home for Children in Mechanicsburg PA should also allow the community the ages of the little rascals and their gender to make sure they do or don't require other free taxpayer funded community services. We also look forward to Mayor Ritter making some comments concerning illegal aliens forced into the borough by Barack Obama and his thugs within the DHS, CBP and other agencies. 

The Customs and Border Protection agency is divided into the Office of Field Operations (OFO) and the Office of Border Patrol (OBP). The OFO numbers reflect anyone either turning themselves in at official U.S. points of entry, or anyone caught while being smuggled at the points of entry. The OBP numbers reflect anyone being caught or turning themselves in to Border Patrol agents between the points of entry, or anyone caught at interior checkpoints by Border Patrol agents. The “OFO Inadmissible” designation to any individual from a nation other than Mexico or Canada means that U.S. authorities took the individuals into custody. Whether they were deported or given a Notice to Appear is unknown. It is important to note these numbers do not include data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The unavailable ICE data are in addition to these numbers.

The report reveals the apprehension numbers ranging from 2010 through July 2014. It shows that most of the human smuggling from Syria and Albania into the U.S. comes through Central America. The report also indicates the routes individuals from North Africa and the Middle East take into the European Union, either to illegally migrate there or as a possible stop in their journey to the United States. The data are broken down further into the specific U.S. border sectors where the apprehensions and contact occurred.

Among the significant revelations are that individuals from nations currently suffering from the world’s largest Ebola outbreak have been caught attempting to sneak across the porous U.S. border into the interior of the United States. At least 71 individuals from the three nations affected by the current Ebola outbreak have either turned themselves in or been caught attempting to illegally enter the U.S. by U.S. authorities between January 2014 and July 2014.

As of July 20, 2014, 1,443 individuals from China were caught sneaking across the porous U.S. border this year alone, with another 1,803 individuals either turning themselves in to U.S. authorities at official ports of entry, or being caught attempting to illegally enter at the ports of entry. This comes amid a massive crackdown by Chinese authorities of Islamic terrorists in the Communist nation.

Twenty-eight individuals from Pakistan were caught attempting to sneak into the U.S. this year alone, with another 211 individuals either turning themselves in or being caught at official ports of entry.

Thirteen Egyptians were caught trying to sneak into the U.S. this year alone, with another 168 either turning themselves in or being caught at official ports of entry.

Four individuals from Yemen were caught attempting to sneak into the U.S. by Border Patrol agents in 2014 alone, with another 34 individuals either turning themselves in or being caught attempting to sneak through official ports of entry. Yemen is not the only nation with individuals who pose terror risks to the U.S. that the report indicates travel from. The failed nation of Somalia, known as a hotbed of Islamic terror activity, was also referenced in the report. Four individuals from Somalia were caught trying to sneak into the U.S. by Border Patrol agents in 2014. Another 290 either turned themselves in or were caught attempting to sneak in at official ports of entry

BACKGROUND:

7/3/2014: National Journal, Obama's Immigration Independence Day

“Obama made it clear he would press his executive powers to the limit. He gave quiet credence to recommendations from La Raza and other immigration groups that between 5 million to 6 million adult illegal immigrants could be spared deportation under a similar form of deferred adjudication he ordered for the so-called Dreamers in June 2012…

Obama has now ordered the Homeland Security and Justice departments to find executive authorities that could enlarge that non-prosecutorial umbrella by a factor of 10. Senior officials also tell me Obama wants to see what he can do with executive power to provide temporary legal status to undocumented adults.”

7/16/2014: The Huffington Post, Obama Tells Lawmakers He Won't Cave On Deportation Review

“… The president assured members of his own party Wednesday that he won't back down from his plans to ease deportations… Obama said he was ‘moving rapidly,’ though he didn't estimate how many undocumented immigrants may be affected or an exact time frame, said Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.). The president has asked that the secretary of homeland security finish a review of deportation policy by the end of the summer.

7/17/2014: Real Clear Politics, Obama Said to Assure Hispanic Caucus on Deportations

“President Obama reassured members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Wednesday that he will flex his executive muscle later this year to be ‘as great and big and bold as he can be’…”

7/17/2014: Daily Caller, Dem Lawmaker: Obama Has Promised To ‘Act Shortly’ By Granting Amnesty To Many Illegals

“Democratic lawmaker Tony Cardenas revealed that President Barack Obama promised the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on Wednesday he will ‘act shortly’ to bypass Congress and grant some form of amnesty to many illegal immigrants…

Cardenas added that the president promised to also expedite the hearings of the tens of thousands of illegal immigrant children stranded on the southern border, and would work to eventually provide them ‘some temporary or permanent status here in the United States.’

‘So those are the two main things that the president committed to,’ the lawmaker concluded.”

7/19/2014: National Journal, The Immigration Conflagration

“Regardless of how Congress handles his request for more border resources, President Obama is moving toward a historic—and explosive—executive order that will provide legal status to a significant number of the estimated 11.7 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. One senior White House official says that while ‘what's happening at the border will provide atmospherics for the [president's] decision,’ it won't stop him from acting on the undocumented—probably before the midterm elections.”

7/20/2014: Breitbart, Luis Gutierrez To La Raza: Obama Assured Steps To ‘Stop The Deportation Of Our People’

“Speaking at the National Council of La Raza conference in Los Angeles, Gutierrez said that Obama assured him during a White House meeting with Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus last week that he would be as ‘generous and broad’ as he can…
