In response to Rios’ article in last week’s Miner, I would like to point out that the sheriff, like many of us in Oracle, have very little information about the peculiar happenings at the (SCA) Sycamore Canyon “Academy.”
What many don’t know, and Rios won’t reveal, the SCA employees were forced to sign “Non-Disclosure Agreements” on, or about July 9th, prohibiting employees from talking about the activities of that facility. Now this facility is a fully tax supported operation, owned and operated by a for-profit corporation in Minden, Nevada.
We must never forget the fact that there is a considerable amount of taxpayer money changing hands in an operation of this type. How many people benefit by this process?
When the 200 or more people from Oracle and elsewhere in mid-July demonstrated at the Mt. Lemmon crossroads leading to the SCA, we definitely knew what we were doing and we had done our extensive homework beforehand. “Hip Shooters” we are not.
The Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Program is a very political endeavor strongly led and supported by the political left in America. If a person does the internet research, you will find that millions of our tax dollars have been given to many religious organizations for several years to provide aid, shelter and comfort to UAC’s. This is not a new program. We have politicians who are working very hard to add “diversity” to America and change the political demographic structure at the voting booth. The end result of this activity will be a form of government that many of us never-before considered, along with a loss of personal freedom, and much higher income tax. The numbers of people on every level of welfare will continue to increase in numbers, (as they are now) and the increase in income tax will continue to rise to a level somewhat similar to Europe today. We will have so much government we will lose our identity as a free people.
Back to Rios’ article of November 19th. I fully support Sheriff Babeu and genuinely appreciate the stance he has taken in his recent press release on the serious problems occurring at the SCA.
