Illegal Aliens Housed in Suites With Flat Screen TVs, Landlines


Posted July 31, 2014 11:12 PM ET; Last updated August 1, 2014 5:01 PM ET

Wonder how homeless American citizens, especially veterans, would like to have a suite with a flat screen TV, a landline, all you can eat meals, doctors, dentists, teachers too? As Howie Carr often says, "I just want to be treated like an illegal alien."

[From article]
Previously, the people being held at the facility were called detainees. Now they will be called residents. Guards are now called resident advisors. Even the facility itself will be referred to as a resident center rather than a detention center.
[. . .]
The amenities do not stop simply at safe. Families will be given a health examination upon arrival along with six sets of fresh clothing for each member. Doctor attention will be available at all times and residents will have access to a dentist.
[. . .]
Other amenities include recreational fields, a library, internet access, and a cafeteria which will serve three all-you-can-eat meals a day. Certified teachers will also be on site to provide year-round education

The feds said the rooms will be referred to as "suites." The suites are furnished with bunk beds, play tables for children, flat-screen television sets and landline telephones.
"I will refer to everyone in this facility as a resident. ICE generally refers to people in custody as detainees," ICE San Antonio Field Office Director Enrique Lucero said.

NC Police Threaten Arrest of Volunteers Who Feed Homeless Persons Without Permit


It appears that the Obama-Holder policy of "Laws are optional" is now enforced in Raleigh, NC as well as in Cambridge, MA where Harvard University sets public safety and criminal justice priorities. The ferocity of how this law is being enforced is extremely curious. Especially when compared with how felony violations of federal and state laws are ignored in Massachusetts where Harvard University dominates.

Upset PA Citizen Shoots Town Board Meeting Killing Three




Gunman: Rockne Newell has been charged with three counts of murder

[From article]
The report said Newell had been living out of a car, a 1984 Pontiac Fiero, and in abandoned buildings since being ordered to vacate.
Newell told the paper he was unemployed for years after an injury from a crash and had nowhere else to go.
'They have no right to kick me off my property,' he told the newspaper. 'They call my property an eyesore. When I bought it, it was one of only three properties on the entire road that didn't have what they call junk.'
Newell told the Record this past June he couldn’t afford the septic hookup fees, and  complained about his perceived treatment.
'If I lose this property, I have nowhere else to go,' said Newell, adding 'what they're doing to me, what they've been doing to me for so long, it's wrong.'

APR 3 2006 Roy Bercaw Speaks to Cambridge City Council

Roy Bercaw discusses emissions reduction suggesting that wind turbines be placed on Cambridge open space in Lincoln MA, and on Harvard's property in Allston. He adds that the hot air generated at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government be captured to remove snow and ice from city streets in winter. He notes that it is not necessary to replace trees if you don't cut them down. Bercaw explains that serving persons without homes is now a big business serving the politicians and the human services industry. The Civic Unity Committee of the City Council excludes persons with disabilities from their programs promoting employment of vulnerable citizens. It is, he says, unequal protection of the laws.

Tent City Cambridge MA

Cambridge campers live in a new Tent City surrounded by Harvard University. It is just steps from Harvard's Littauer Center of Public Administration where students learn to be public administrators? This high profile tent city is also steps from Harvard Law School's Gannett House, occupied by the Harvard Law Review. When President Obama was a student at Harvard Law School his colleagues elected him President of the Law Review. High profile public administrators, high profile lawyers and a tent city nearby. Harvard suffered a big loss to their endowment in 2009, losing about $11 billion. Harvard remains the richest university in the United States. Residents at Cambridge Tent City were not available for comment on Harvard's lost billions.

Lobster Dinner at Harvard

At Harvard's 2008 Commencement celebration they erected a tent 28 yards by 70 yards on city property to feed hungry grads and alumni. It was a catered lobster dinner. The tent was used for that event only. Nearby homeless people sleep on the streets and in shelters run by Harvard students. It is a question of priorities. One more reason why Harvard needs a $35 billion endowment. See

Harvard University Helps the Homeless?

Harvard endowment has 7-year best, hits $34.9b

Harvard University's endowment grew to $34.9 billion thanks to investment
returns of 23 percent in the fiscal year ended June 30, its best performance in
seven years, the university said yesterday.
[...]
Its emerging markets portfolio, the best single performer, surged 44 percent.

Harvard's real estate division is building an empire in the Boston Cambridge area. How is this different from Saddam Hussein? Instead of his picture on the buildings they put their motto, "VE-RI-TAS."
Less than one block from the main Harvard campus a group of people with no homes sleep in storefronts in Harvard Square Cambridge MA.
Questions include what is being taught at the prestigious Harvard Kennedy School of Government? What is being taught at this prestigious University?
