The headline is sickening, but these excerpts are beyond outrageous and should infuriate every American!

I'm not sure that I understand how a "bipartisan panel in Congress" has the power to issue such directive - anyone know?

Note that OVOMIT is still destroying this country!

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency is buying 2.2 million diapers to help deliver economic migrants and their young children into Americans’ worksites, schools, and neighborhoods, according to an online contract request.

The purchase implements the welcome policy set by a bipartisan panel in Congress, which in February directed the Department of Homeland Security to help the migrants — despite the impact on Americans’ wages, schools, and neighborhoods — instead of helping Americans by giving the agency the legal authority needed to block the migration.

(SNIP)

The 2.2 million diapers are being bought with funds provided in the February border spending bill for the DHS. The bill included “$192,700,000 for improved medical care, transportation, and consumables to better ensure the health and safety of migrants who are temporarily in [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] custody,” according to a congressional Explanatory Statement of the provisions. The money is also being used to fly migrants from the border to their target job sites and homes in the United States.

The budget deal — and the resulting diaper spending and flights — were negotiated by several GOP and Democratic leaders. They included Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby West Virginia Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven, Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt, Texas Rep. Kay Granger, Tennesee Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, Georgia Rep. Tom Graves, and Mississippi Rep. Steven Palazzo.

The diaper purchase request, numbered 20113222-a, spotlights the agency’s gradual conversion from a border protection force to a migrant aid force.

Since roughly 2009, the agency has increasingly been used by establishment Democrats and Republicans to quietly ease the migration of Central American job-seekers, families, and coyote-accompanied “ Unaccompanied Alien Children” into the United States. The transformation began with the “Morton memos” from former President Barack Obama’s deputies but has continued into 2019 amid Congress’s refusal to shut the catch-and-release loopholes opposed by President Donald Trump.

Those catch-and-release rules bar DHS from deporting migrants who bring at least one child and ask for asylum. Instead, Congress ensures the migrants are released into the United States, allowed to get work permits and to hide in the nation’s growing population of illegal immigrants. Only a small share of the migrants try to win their asylum cases, partly because the vast majority are not eligible for asylum because they are unskilled economic migrants seeking a better life for themselves and their children in Americans’ society.

In 2017 and again in 2018, the catch-and-release rules provided roughly 400,000 migrants with work permits for jobs in Americans’ workplaces.

Agency officials expect roughly 800,000 migrants to move into the United State via the catch-and-release loopholes in the 12 months up to October 2019. That nation-changing inflow adds up to more than one migrant for every five children born in the United States during 2018.

The vast majority of the migrants come from Central America, but officials have announced that the first group of migrants from Africa arrived on May 31 — the same day that the agency sought to buy the 2.2 million diapers.

President Donald Trump is now threatening to impose tariffs on Mexican exports if Mexico’s government does not help stem the inflow. Trump’s deputies say they want Mexico to sign a “ safe third country” deal that would allow U.S. border agencies to quickly reject asylum requests from economic migrants who pass through Mexico. The agreement would deter job-seekers from leaving their families, communities, and jobs in Central America, at minimal cost to Mexico and the United States.
