Child immigration crisis hits the Pentagon

MILITARY TO MAKES SPACE FOR ‘ALIEN’ KIDS: The Pentagon has been asked, and apparently has agreed, to provide space at three military bases to house children who have crossed the border illegally, but are not part of a family unit. The Department of Health and Human Services says it will need 20,000 beds for at least six months, beginning next month.

According to a Pentagon memo to members of Congress, obtained by The Associated Press, the camps for “unaccompanied alien children” would be operated by HHS personnel or contractors who would “provide all care for the children,” including supervision, meals, clothing, medical services, transportation and other daily needs.
