The Department of Agriculture is sending as many as 500 volunteers to the U.S.-Mexico border to help process the thousands of migrants trying to come to the U.S., reports show.
An email from Terry Cosby, acting chief of the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, obtained by The Spectator details volunteer opportunities the agency is offering to its more than 100,000 employees to work directly with unaccompanied minors at the border and help pair them with American sponsors.
"These are children in need and government employees now have an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of these children, families and communities impacted by this migration," Cosby wrote in the April 22 email, according to the Spectator. "I urge you to seriously consider answering this call to service to make a difference."

You'd think Government employee unions would be up in arms. The USDA pawns must be salaried executives. I wonder if they are pilfering USDA officials that administer the W.I.C. (Womens with Infant Children) program.
