Obama Flies Illegal Teens to Iowa. The Iowa Governor Flies Them Back TO Honduras.
Governor Bransted of Iowa had announced: "Iowa will not take any illegal children." Yesterday
Obama overruled him and sent Iowa 124 teens, aged13-19. When the plane
landed in Des Moines, the airport manager called the office of the
Governor. The Governor drove to the airport and chartered a United
Airlines plane from Chicago. Within 8 hours all the teens were fed and
loaded on that plane. The plane left Iowa at 8 o'clock
Des Moines time. Its next stop was Honduras. The plane landed and was
unloaded. Four Social Workers from Iowa made sure the teens got safely
to the terminal, and the Social Workers told the Honduran officials,
"Here are your teens, they have no papers, and you let them come
illegally to America. We refuse to take them. Iowa has its own laws.
Minors from outside our country not accompanied by adults may not enter
our state."
Iowa has not heard one thing from Washington.
