Illegal immigration is big business for privately owned shelters which receive hundreds of millions of dollars a year in federal grants.

An example is Southwest Key Programs, Inc., which was paid $310 million in 2018 alone. In addition, Southwest Key has received $995 million in federal funds since 2015 alone to house migrant children.

Southwest Key operates 83 detention centers across the country and has pulled in $1.5 billion in federal contracts from Democrat and Republican administrations. It boasts “the largest licensed shelter for immigrant children in the United States”. Sounds pretty noble, huh?

Well, the CEO of Southwest Key is Juan Sanchez, a National Council of La Raza (now UnidosUS) board member. In case you didn’t know, La Raza is an open borders radical activist group which is very active in support of illegal immigration.

Mr. Sanchez bags a cool $1.47 million a year. Mark Owen of the IRS nonprofit division said Sanchez’s salary is “extraordinarily high” and his wife also pulls down $262,000. Paid for by taxpayers.

Moreover, Mr. Sanchez owns the real-estate properties Southwest Key rents from. Hmmm…what’s the Spanish word again for “conflict of interest”?

Clearly, the separated kids are cash cows for the La Raza cronies — an organization hellbent on making the southwest US into a third world shithole.

So, to put this in perspective: Southwest Key (a TAXPAYER funded shelter for illegal children) and La Raza (now UnidosUS) — an organization dedicated to open borders and blanket amnesty — are connected and milking the feds for money through an illegal immigration revolving door that exploits separated migrant children for profit.

Definition of child exploitation.

But wait, there is more good things from Southwest Key!

Over a 3 year period, Southwest Key had more than 200 violations at its facilities including a resident failing to receive proper treatment for a sexually transmitted disease (STD).

Finally, two weeks ago, a Tuscon Southwest Key shelter was closed after staff abused three illegal immigrant children.

An irony considering Southwest Key is proudly “recognized” by the “UN Human Rights Council”.

Would you want your children sent to a Southwest Key shelter?

This place is a nightmare. It is exploiting illegal immigrant children for profit at the expense of our country.

Moreover, members of their untrained staff are now abusing children.

The federal government should immediately pull its funding.

Call your congressmen (202-224-3121) and demand they cut funding for Southwest Key today!
