We were told that beginning Friday, immigrant (illegal or otherwise) will be housed in an unused Basic Training Starship barracks, with a chain link fence put up to keep them in here on Fort Sill. Anyone else out there told the same on other military post, bases, ports, etc?

anything wtong with the thousands of homeless disabled veterans having a place to sleep. in Los Angeles which has the highest amount of homeless veterans an ex-senator in something the late 1800s gave the VA something like 300 acres to build housing so American veterans would never be homeless. well someone there in the VA decided that wasn't a good use for it but rents parts of it out to place like UCLA for their baseball teams field, the laundry for the merriot hotels in the are, a rental car company to name a few. according to the article in American legion magazine. you can look it up and get most of the article from the mag in an article called betrayed. anyways accounting has been really lax in this situation and it has been found most of the rent money is pretty well unaccountable. it has even went so far that veteran groups have earned a ruling from federal courts that says renting the land is illegal. unfortunately UCLA and the VA there have it stalled in court saying that if they take the ball field the team will be homeless. shame shame shame.

I second that motion we have too many vets sleeping on the streets,and dying from lack of piss poor help from Veteran Affairs. They should be the one's using any military barracks. Hell they were the ones who sacrificed something more than just fleeing some wild animals too haul ass here to get free living. Like the tax payers of this great nation doesn't pay enough all ready for people,lets just add some more on top of a already struggling country!
