According to information provided exclusively to Breitbart through a source requesting anonymity, Major General John T. Winters has specifically requested installation support for the Department of Homeland Security to provide temporary housing to unaccompanied alien children. The request requires bases to report any facilities across the U.S. that meet the following minimum specifications: a 24,000 square foot building, 15 acres of land "level and clear," and access to utilities. The information is due to be reported by Wednesday afternoon, July 9.
When contacted by Breitbart News, Defense Department spokesman Air Force Lt. Col. Thomas Crosson confirmed the new military requests. Asked precisely how many bases are needed, Lt. Col. Crosson responded:"however many is needed to provide HHS with the mutually agreed upon amount of bed space."
Currently, three facilities are being used: Naval Base Ventura County, in Port Hueneme, California; Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, in Texas; and Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The California base can house 575, and is accommodating teenagers from the ages of 13 to 17. Lackland and Sill can each hold about 1,200 youth.
As the border crisis continues, the Department of Defense is requesting that additional military bases make housing facilities and land available to accommodate a continued influx of illegal alien children.

Comment: The DHS has been restricting information and access to the temporary housing facilities to both the media and members of Congress. One wonders just what they are attempting to hide if there was any real concern for these children. As the private for-profit prison system has been enriched by the influx of immigrants, it appears that the military wants some of the funding for itself. Whether any of these children will indeed benefit from this is doubtful. The elite psychopaths always use a crisis for their own benefit.
