Default Verona, VA: Nig Obongo Foisting Mini-Sheets on the Shenandoah Valley

Quote:
VERONA -- The holding of undocumented alien minors at the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Detention Center in Verona has galvanized Augusta County residents.

They packed the county government center Wednesday night, to speak on both sides of the issue.

The federal contract housing the minors with the seven jurisdictions involved in the juvenile detention center has existed since 2009, and will continue until at least 2017. Twenty nine were being held at the detention center on Monday, including two teens that had been caught crossing the border.

Stu Thomas, a Wayne District resident, said the federal contract that allows for up to 30 such minors to be held at the juvenile detention center shows that the center cannot be operated locally.

“It is a facility larger than needed,’’ Thomas said. “We can’t operate it without state and federal aid.’’

Thomas said the housing of undocumented minors allows them to become embedded in American society and said most likely they will become a burden on the country.

Dr. Edward Long, spoke as the director of the Shenandoah Valley Tea Party Patriots, an organization with 1,500 members.

Long urged Augusta supervisors to take two actions regarding the contract at the detention center, beginning with a letter to the federal government, urging them not to send any more border crossing alien minors to the detention center. Long’s second request was to ask that the regional board governing the detention center expand the number of jurisdictions involved so the center can serve more local youthful offenders, not undocumented immigrants.

But others showed more empathy for the plight of the undocumented alien teens.

Ruth Jost, a Rockingham County resident, said it is clear the American immigration system is in urgent need of fixing. But Jost said the children coming across the border are fleeing “horrific conditions’’ in their Central American countries.

Jost said the issue is not one of immigration, but one of humaneness and morality. “We have a history of helping and sheltering people in this country,’’ she said.

Alfredo, a man identified as a native of El Salvador, left his native Central American country 15 years ago. He spoke with the help of a translator.

He said the children crossing the U.S. border are “persecuted by gangs’’ and are coming to this country to find refuge.
