[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Children should not be institutionalized. Take those funds and get them into foster care. I would foster if the program paid for full time day care so I can work and commute. [/quote]

The casual way in which you refer to taking someone's child is frightening. And this attitude that you are doing them a favor if they throw in fully paid day care... unbelievable.These kids have family and connection somewhere here. They dont just walk 1000 miles and show up at the border to throw themselves to fate.[/quote]

[b]How do you know that the children who will be housed in the proposed center have family here?[/b]

I'm assuming these are children who have *already* been separated from their parents by a regime I do not support.  Children who will spend years in shelter.  Institutionalized.

I am not talking about doing anyone favors.  I cannot make fostering work as I am a single mom who WOHM and cannot afford daycare for any more kids.  Whether it's migrant children we are talking about or the kids currently in the US foster system, I am not in a position to help without daycare.  Although I would like to.  Not sure why you want to make me out to be a bad person.

The entire purpose of putting a shelter in this area is because so many sponsors live in the DMV area. [/quote]
