TUCSON, Ariz. – While some are decrying the ongoing flood of immigrant children coming across the country’s southern border as a massive humanitarian crisis, others are reportedly taking advantage of the situation to boost their social service programs and to recruit innocent children into their progressive mindset.

The Arizona Daily Independent reports that Southwest Key – a nonprofit government contractor that runs safe shelters for immigrant children and dozens of other juvenile justice and family programs – is currently hiring for hundreds of positions in Mesa, Glendale, Tucson, and Phoenix, Arizona.

Guards at Southwest Key facilities in Arizona will not discuss the agency’s plans, but “recently, Southwest Key announced that they currently have 272 job openings for their facility in Tucson alone,” according to the news site.

“The organization is advertising for cooks, caseworkers, administrative assistance, care providers, educators and more. According to Southwest Key’s job descriptions posted online, many positions require that employees are bilingual and have previous childcare or case management experience,” the Independent reports.

Southwest Key, founded by former migrant worker and Harvard University grad Dr. Juan Sanchez, provides services each year to over 200,000 kids and their families in Texas, California, New York, Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin through a close relationship with the Division of Children Services/Unaccompanied Alien children program run through the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement.

In 2007, the organization branched out into for-profit work to provide jobs for low income residents, starting a variety of companies from green energy construction to maintenance to transportation services to a florist shop. The group’s governing board also has close ties to Tucson’s public school system.

“Much discussion has centered on the recent efforts by Tucson Unified Governing Board member Adelita Grijalva to have Southwest Key use the district’s empty schools as shelters for the unaccompanied minors once they have been processed through the Border Patrol Station,” the Independent reports.

“Grijalva and her father, former TUSD Governing Board member and current Co-Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Representative Raul Grijalva, have used the District’s schools for years to promote their economic interests or political agenda,” according to the news site.

And the recent influx of immigrant children is providing an excellent opportunity to further that mission.

“Until the vast majority of unaccompanied minors in Southwest Key’s care eventually begin filling up the empty TUSD classroom seats, log ago abandoned by residents of Tucson, among the positions open at the Tucson facility is Lead Teacher,” the Independent reports.

In other words, progressives like the Grijalvas have a lot to gain from helping immigrant children start a new life in America, both by boosting support for their political cause, abd also through government contracts and for-profit work that drives their agenda.

The Independent put Adelita Grijalva’s obvious conflict of interest into perspective:

“While she may not get her hands on the kids right away, she should take comfort in the fact that Southwest Key ‘provides a transformative education,’ which is ‘culturally relevant.’ Grijalva has fought hard for the transformative Critical Race Pedagogy which now serves as the basis of the District’s Culturally Relevant Curriculum.

According to sources, between 140 and 200 unaccompanied minors are being processed in and out of the Nogales Border Patrol Station daily. Of those, according to the Office of Refugee Resettlement past practices, only a small percent will be returned to their country of origin.

At the current rate of intake, approximately 36,000 children will be processed through the Border Patrol Station. Of that, an unknown number of innocent children, who were sent here by parents hoping for a better life and the American Dream, will learn mostly of the great injustice fostered by our system, and be compelled to become agents of change.”
