Dreadful right-wing Salvation Army checking 'residency' of kids who need toys in El Paso

[Bluebear]

Merry Christmas to one and...well, not all....

Jesus would not have gotten a toy either, as his parents were "non-residents" from another area.

El Paso, TX - Requirements for those getting help from one local organization have some folks wondering if this is an immigration check rather than helping those in need this holiday season....

Captain Keith Bottjen with the Salvation Army said, "The people who are coming in, they're truly needy and it's good to be able to help."

Their wishes are hung on trees at malls and stores around the city.

There is, however, a catch not many know about.

"Unfortunately, due to grants and other restrictions we have to go a little farther and prove residence and stuff like that," Bottjen said....

The Salvation Army also verifies the immigration status of anyone who comes to their shelter.
