Feds Begin Hiring $144,000-Per-Year Babysitters for 'Urgent' Job Watching Kids Illegally Sent Over U.S. Border
2021-03-31
[PJMedia] Welcome to Joe Biden’s America, where teachers are back to in-person instruction... not for your kids, but for migrant teens who snuck over the border illegally and where the government is now attempting to hurriedly find $144,000-a-year babysitters to watch them as well. All on your dime.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management put out the call on March 25 for heads of departments and supervisors to find current and former federal employees to be reassigned temporarily to watch kids at illegal-alien holding facilities in Dallas, San Diego, San Antonio, and Ft. Bliss.

The feds appear to be trying to keep this job announcement on the low-pro, as it’s going out only to "heads of departments and agencies" on a link that is "not searchable on USAJOBS" webpage.

#7  To be fair, not all make the max $144K. Further down the article reads:

There are so many unaccompanied minors that the DHS’s Office of Refugee Resettlement put out the call for GS-9 to GS-15-level current and former federal employees who make anywhere from $46,083 to $143,598 per year to watch the kids whose own parents left them to the whims of human traffickers.

and

Hourly rates start at $28.81 an hour to as high as $68.81for a GS-15 employee. Babysitters also get a per diem for hotel and travel for the 120-day long gig.

The midway point is still near $100K. I assume gold plated Federal civil service benefits also apply.

#2  I was on the same path to betting on the Bee but then I thought, "This is just too egregious and totally anti-USA so it must be true" Sadly, I was right.
