Washington Post ?@washingtonpost 17mGraffiti on proposed shelter for immigrant children in Maryland: No illeagles here. http://wapo.st/1qZlDOC
WESTMINSTER, Md. As news spread this weekend that undocumented immigrant children might soon live in a former military facility in this town, graffiti appeared on the one-story brick building: No illeagles here. No undocumented Democrats.
Aside from the misspelling which prompted some snickering about sick birds of prey as a photo circulated on Facebook on Sunday the scrawled message was a manifestation of the bitter national debate over how the government should treat these undocumented children . . .
A contender: Westminsters former Army Reserve facility, a pair of brick buildings on a few acres of land near Route 140. County leaders learned of the possibility on Thursday evening, and the reaction in this heavily Republican town northwest of Baltimore was swift and negative.
Del. Justin Ready (R-Carroll) asked if the undocumented children would have undergone the proper health evaluations or background screenings. Carroll Commissioner Richard Rothschild told the Baltimore Sun that his county will not become a repository for Obamas failed immigration policies.
By Monday, HHS had deemed the location not a viable option at this time, an agency spokesman said. . .
{The building at 404 Malcolm Drive, near MD Route 140, was scrapped because it would "not be appropriate" as a shelter for unaccompanied immigrant children since it had been vacant for an extended period of time and was in poor condition, Fox 45 reported.}

Not sure what their opposition to a river in Africa was. He or she could have been related to the guy in Bay Ridge Brooklyn who sprayed "No Spikes" on a wall near the border of mostly white Bay Ridge and mostly Hispanic Sunset Part.
