I don’t know if it’s a crisis, honestly. It’s definitely testing our capacity currently but what are the numbers being turned around. How many people are actually entering the country.
Good insight. This is most likely next in the not so distant future. This is not an unreasonable prediction. The word "Assimilation" is now a bad word according to Biden, let that sink in. Using the word "American" will be overly nationalistic and exclusionary very soon. Further into the future, any words that describe or hold any expectation that an immigrant of any type change in any way whatsoever to adapt to their new country will be removed.
Biden admin diverts $2B from COVID, health spending to care for migrant kids https://nypost.com/2021/05/15/biden...-covid-health-funds-to-care-for-migrant-kids/ The Biden administration has pulled more than $2 billion out of programs authorized by Congress for COVID-19 testing, emergency medical supplies and other health needs — and is spending it on shelter for the 45,000 unaccompanied migrant children that have flooded across the US border this year. The Department of Health and Human Services siphoned $850 million out of funds allocated for testing in President Biden’s massive $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, Politico reported Saturday. Secretary Xavier Becerra pulled $850 million more out of a fund meant to replenish the Strategic National Stockpile of items like medical gloves, masks, antibiotics and ventilators, and yanked $436 million out of other health programs, according to HHS spokesman Mark Weber. Such transfers are legal, as long as Congress is notified. In all, $2.13 billion have been poured into emergency shelters near the US-Mexico border, where kids have been crammed into jail-like “pods” that allow for no social distancing. The report came just days after Becerra appeared before a congressional committee to plead for another $905 million to be pumped into the pandemic-depleted stockpile. The news of the cash diversion had Republicans — who have blamed the spiraling border crisis on Biden’s executive orders rolling back President Trump’s strict immigration policies — fuming. “The President single-handedly created this crisis and is now misplacing billions in taxpayers’ money,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) told The Post. “The answer to every problem is not to throw money at it,” said Malliotakis, who excoriated Biden after visiting the border in April. “In this case, it’s simply rescinding his executive order, reinstating President Trump’s border protocols, and going after the cartels and smugglers.” In recent weeks, a Texas nonprofit won two HHS no-bid contracts totaling nearly $620 million to provide “emergency intake” services for migrant children shortly after hiring a former Biden aide.
Tennessee lawmakers alarmed by reports White House secretly flying migrant children into state Republicans say they were not informed about administration's plans and are seeking answers https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-administration-migrant-children-tennessee Lawmakers from Tennessee are sounding the alarm after reports that the Biden administration has been flying unaccompanied minors into the state in the middle of the night without their knowledge. The White House is transporting migrants into an airport in Chattanooga from where they are bused to cities within the Southeast, as first reported by local news outlet WRCB-TV Channel 3. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., said in a statement to Fox News that the transportation of migrants is taking place in "the dead of night without the knowledge or permission of the communities involved." Lawmakers in the state are characterizing the situation as a symptom of the Biden administration’s policies and pursuant failure to control the flow of migrants at the border, which has now put their communities at risk. Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., said in a statement to Fox News that his residents deserve answers from the administration. "I have warned for months that President Biden’s failure at the border would result in a systematic resettling of migrants in our communities, burdening our schools, hospitals, and law enforcement agencies, and bringing an increase in drug trafficking and human smuggling," Hagerty said. "A new reality is happening in our country—every town is now a border town." Blackburn said Biden has not only put these children at risk, but he is also putting Tennesseans at risk as she, too, demanded answers. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee led roughly 20 other Republican governors in sending a letter to the Biden administration calling for action at the southern border, noting that the immigration crisis was spilling over into many U.S. states. "The Biden Administration refuses to secure the border and is instead scattering unaccompanied kids all over the country with no regard for the consequences," Lee said in a statement to Fox News. "When we push back and demand answers, they cut off transparency and embolden one of the worst human trafficking crises we’ve seen at our border in the last 20 years." Spokespeople for the White House, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services did not return Fox News’ requests for comment. As previously reported by Fox News, the administration has been talking about fostering a decrease in the number of migrant children in U.S. Customs and Border Patrol facilities. However, as of last week, the number of children in HHS custody was more than 20,000. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said encounters at the border have declined to about 1,830 people per day but noted that a "fairly high" number of migrant children were still coming across.
The Biden administration has been violating federal law with its use of "shelters" to house migrant children. Advocates Say Biden Administration Is Violating Pact On Detaining Migrant Children
Why is the Biden administration hiding this... Planeloads of Illegal Immigrant Minors Relocated Around U.S. in Middle of the Night https://www.judicialwatch.org/corru...-relocated-around-u-s-in-middle-of-the-night/ In an apparent effort to avoid public scrutiny, the Biden administration is transporting planeloads of illegal immigrant minors in the middle of the night then busing them to cities in the southeast. Even members of Congress representing the impacted districts are being kept in the dark about the covert operations and the Department of Defense (DOD) is contracting big tour buses to move the migrants to nearby states once they land, presumably from the southern border region. The alarming details are featured in a well-sourced news report broadcast by a Tennessee media outlet this week. The segment—and accompanying article—features videos of planes arriving at a Chattanooga private jet terminal called Wilson Air Center. Adolescents who appear to be in their early teens are seen deboarding the planes carrying matching bags then boarding large tour busses parked on the runway. One of the planes landed around 1:30 a.m. on a Friday, the news story says, and the other late Saturday night. A third plane arrived at the Chattanooga facility on a Friday afternoon and a fourth early Wednesday morning, according to flight records obtained by reporters. The illegal alien teens, officially coined Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) by the government, are seen boarding large buses owned by Coast-to-Coast Tours of East Point, Georgia. An employee of the company said the buses were dispatched to Chattanooga as part of a contract with the DOD. “The employee says this was the first time the company had been asked to pick up migrant children in Chattanooga,” the article states, adding that “in the past, the company’s drivers have traveled to Mobile, Alabama, and Atlanta to transport children.” The source confirms that two buses seen on the news video left Chattanooga for Miami, Florida and Dallas, Texas. Three to four chaperones accompanied the UAC because the bus company requires it when underaged passengers are on board. Approximately 30 to 50 UAC are transported on each bus, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operation. Some get reunited with family members and others go to taxpayer-funded group homes. The source says in the news story that the operation began in Dallas but was recently moved to small airports to “avoid attention.” Wilson Air Center fits the bill. It is a Fixed-Base Operator (FBO), a private jet facility, with an executive terminal, 120,000 square feet of hangar space and a multitude of other amenities. The company provides corporate aviation support services in four cities, including Chattanooga. “At Wilson Air Center, hospitality is the rule, not the exception,” its website states. “No matter which location you visit, Charlotte, Memphis, Houston or Chattanooga, you can be sure you’ll receive world-class FBO and aviation services delivered with our award-winning attitude!” The company claims to be an industry leader for its unmatched approach to customer service and satisfaction. Unfortunately, the American public cannot obtain details about the arrangement. The Tennessee media outlet was given the runaround and various members of Congress are quoted saying they have no information about the operations. A DOD spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Chris Mitchell, says in the story that the flights were facilitated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). “The only support DoD is providing with respect to the unaccompanied minors is land and facilities for HHS to temporarily house them,” Mitchell says in the piece. HHS never returned the news outlet’s call seeking information on the secret operations. Last month the agency confirmed a group of UAC were being housed at a former Tennessee Temple dormitory in Highland Park. HHS is responsible for UAC and currently has a record 22,264 in its care, according to the latest government figures. The agency provides the illegal immigrant minors with an array of services, including classroom education, mental and medical healthcare, legal counsel, and a variety of recreational activities. The overwhelming majority of the migrants—72%—are not children but rather young adults or adolescents 15 to 17 years old, government records show. Most of the youths are from Guatemala and Honduras and 68% are male, which has tremendously boosted gang recruitment in this country. Federal authorities have for years confirmed that the nation’s most violent street gangs—including the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13)—recruit new members at U.S. shelters housing UAC.
