Staffers at unmarked building refuse to answer questions about housing migrants
2024-02-28
Casa Alitas offers shelter, necessities and travel assistance to asylum seeking families. Our guests arrive for a short stay, after their release from Border Patrol and ICE detention.
[FoxNews] Workers at an unmarked building suspected of housing migrants in Tuscon, Ariz. refused to answer Fox News' Rachel Campos-Duffy's questions and asked her to leave the facility, she reported Monday.

The "Fox & Friends Weekend" host received a tip to investigate the facility Casa Alitas, which had all signs removed from its exterior. She explained the lack of signs was a signal it was an NGO — non-governmental organization — housing illegal immigrants.

After asking if she could book a room, a woman behind the hotel counter asked Campos-Duffy to leave the building, claiming she was on "private property."

The woman refused to answer questions about whose property it was, instead asking security to escort Campos-Duffy out of the building.

"Casa Alitas is a program of Catholic Community Services of Southern Arizona," the website states. "The Casa Alitas Leadership Team and Volunteer Service Coordinators support a network of paid staff, volunteers, and interns to create a safe, just, and compassionate refuge for the migrant families transiting through our Southern Arizona border communities. The Casa Alitas program is sustained by an inter-denominational network of faith collaborators and inter-organizational partnerships with federal, state, and municipal government agencies; universities and colleges; and other non-governmental organizations."

#8  Of course, there's the concept that you're not required to explain yourself to the media. I certainly wouldn't.

#6  Used to give to Catholic Charities, because they seemed to believe in accountability.

That was a long time ago.

#3  Here's an idea. How about a charitable organization that buys the return tickets for these people to go home? I might contribute to that.

#2  At what point do these migrantscolonists decide the trip to America wasn't worth it and self-deport, go back to their countries of origin?
