Mayor Eric Garcetti Takes Obama's Illegal Alien 'Travel Cash' to House Border Jumpers in Los Angeles

The city was contacted by the Obama administration, and Garcetti, who's already a craven open-borders opportunist and tribalist, jumped on the chance to rake in HHS illegal alien "travel cash."

At the Los Angeles Times, "Garcetti says L.A. will shelter children who have crossed border":

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said Tuesday that the city would help shelter immigrant children who have been detained after crossing the border and has begun talks with a federal agency about doing so.

"Before you get partisan, before you tell me where you are on immigration—these are children," Garcetti said Tuesday at a forum hosted downtown by Politico magazine.

"As a father, who are we as Americans if we don't step forward first and say, these kids who are isolated, alone … let's get them someplace safe and secure," the mayor told the crowd. Garcetti said the U.S.

Department of Health and Human Services has contacted the city, but he had few details Tuesday about what accommodating the children would entail or when it would occur.

Federal money would flow to pay for legal representation and temporary shelter, while local nonprofits are expected to help find homes for the children, he said.

Garcetti added that the city would also be an appropriate place to reunite many of the children with their families as their legal situation is worked out, because many of their parents are probably in the Los Angeles area.

Garcetti spokeswoman Vicki Curry later said the city's Office of Immigrant Affairs convened a meeting on Friday with officials from the Health and Human Services Department and representatives of local organizations that work with immigrants and the homeless.

Also at Breitbart, "L.A. MAYOR GARCETTI WELCOMES ILLEGAL ALIENS, UPSETS HOMELESS ACTIVISTS."

Yeah, because illegals are bigger "victims" than L.A.'s homeless population.
