So the folks over at Judicial Watch came across how the Federal Government is spending $125 million. Would you believe it is for illegal immigrants? Well, it is and some of the specifics kind of make you shake your head.
First, unaccompanied alien children, let’s start at this point. We’ve been hearing all year about how the government is separating children from their parents. So now you are telling me children are making the trek from their home country a couple of thousand miles by themselves, got it. Some of these children are pregnant, again the trek, pregnant and time, “makes sense!” Let’s add gang affiliated minors, unaccompanied no less, hey a gang implies something doesn’t it?
All these children make it to the United States, unaccompanied. Once here they are referred to the Office of Refugee Resettlement. In that office they will give you a place to live, health care, mental health services, supervision and will cater to your particular language to integrate you into society of the United States. Some of these minors would be considered flight risks but we will “monitor” these minors
Many of the UACs are disbursed to one of 170 facilities across the U.S. operated by the agency, these care providers include group homes; long-term, therapeutic, or transitional foster care; residential treatment centers; staff-secure and secure facilities, and shelters. Our facilities provide housing, nutrition, routine medical care, mental health services, educational services, and recreational activities such as arts and sports.” Once they are released to a “sponsor,” the UACs continue to receive “ongoing assistance” from the government guaranteed to be “culturally and linguistically-appropriate to the unique need of each individual. All of that is pretty specific care for illegal immigrant minors.
Here is my take. As I finish this article we just passed Veterans Day. We continue to thank them more and more every year for their sacrifice to our Country. On the flip side we see more and more how much Veterans needs are not being taken care of by the Government. The VA is a horror show. Our country as a whole can’t take care of the citizens within it’s own four walls, homelessness, hunger and drug abuse just a few at the top of the list. Yet our elected leaders vote to spend $125 million on specific care on non citizens, who may at some point may flee or get deported, that seems like a good investment! In closing, Congress is broken, far beyond repair, in my opinion. We need to vote them all out, they seem to care more for illegal immigrants than actual citizens.
