As flip-flopper extraordinaire Kamala Harris laughingly claims she “now wants a border wall after saying for years that building a border wall was racist and antithetical to American values,” the realities of the Biden-Harris Border Crisis continue to play out across America, including in small towns.

One such town is Scotland, Pennsylvania, located just outside Gettysburg, where a plan to house as many as 1,000 illegal aliens in a Civil War-era orphanage has the town’s residents up in arms. “It would upend the community,” said a retired Army colonel.
Officials in Greene Township cited a letter from a representative of USA Up Star, an Indiana-based disaster response seeking to use the historic building to “provide shelter for refuge[e] families.”
Here’s more (emphasis, mine):
In an August letter to the USA Up Star staffer, Greene Township zoning officer Daniel Bachman wrote that its most recent use as a summer camp falls within its R-1 – or low-density residential – code and that higher-density shelter would not be permitted.
Fox News Digital reached out to USA Up Star for comment. On its website, it bills itself as a “service-disabled veteran-owned business incorporated in 2009 to provide best-in-class disaster, responder and warfighter support during disaster, contingency, surge, and displacement operations.”
The organization last followed up with Bachman by noting they are working with the federal government on the matter and would like further zoning information from Greene Township, according to a letter obtained by Fox News Digital.
Translation: USA Up Star is “working,” indirectly, no doubt, with the Biden-Harris administration to somehow change the zoning of the township so illegals can be housed in the building.

It Gets Curiouser
State Sen. Doug Mastriano (R-Gettysburg), the 2022 Republican nominee for governor, who represents the area, said in an interview he is concerned about the goings-on with the partially run-down property.
Most recently, an opaque wooden fence went up around the building, said the retired Army colonel. Mastriano also said that some critics claim that the most recent use of the building as a summer camp suggests that illegals may already be housed there.
Most troublesome, Mastriano said: “It would upend the community. There are 1,300 people [in Scotland],” adding that the number of illegal aliens and staff could equal or exceed the Town’s population. That is inexcusable. Again, these obscene examples need to be highlighted by Trump and the Republicans virtually non-stop.
Mastriano, along with state Rep. Rob Kauffman (R-Chambersburg), said in a joint statement:
This is our home township. Our families live here alongside you and your families. We have been collaborating with Congressman John Joyce to relay information to him, as he works to represent Franklin County and make sure federal funding does not arrive in Franklin County for this purpose.
Meanwhile, in Ohio, Republican Governor Mike DeWine has “ordered state troopers and additional funding sent to the suffering city of Springfield, Ohio, to deal with a major influx of Haitian illegal immigrants dropped off there by the Biden-Harris regime.”

Dewine said in a statement:
I want the people of Springfield and Clark County to know that as we move forward, we will continue to do everything we can to help the community deal with this surge of migrants. The federal government has not demonstrated that they have any kind of plan to deal with the issue. We will not walk away.
On the contrary, Governor Dewine, the Biden-Harris administration does have a plan, and it’s been as clear as it could be from day one of the most disastrous presidency in the history of America: Import as many illegal aliens as they can get away with, for as long as they can get away with it, as part of a larger plan to permanently alter the demographics of this country.
