Shocking Numbers: U.S. Spends $6 Million Per Day to House Unaccompanied Migrant Children; Where’s Kamala? Biden’s Border Point Person Can’t Be Bothered To Show Up.

/1 Comment/in , /by

By Breitbart. According to Health and Human Services, the federal government is detaining more than 20,000 unaccompanied migrant children nationwide. To accommodate the latest surge, HHS opened 13 new detention facilities since March 1 and are designed to house the children until sponsors receive them.

According to the latest HHS data, they hold 16,000 unaccompanied children and another 4,000 are about to be transferred from Border Patrol custody. The HHS estimates the cost to detain a child in the newest facilities, which they refer to as Emergency Intake Sites (EIS), is $775 per day. In other long-term facilities, they indicate that cost to be approximately $275 per day. The temporary shelter numbers are those in excess of 13,500 permanent facility beds, meaning the agency is spending nearly $4 million a day on long-term UACs and nearly $2 million per day on EIS shelters. This does not account for the expenditures by the Border Patrol to detain the additional 4,000 UACs.

According to HHS, the EIS shelters being brought into service will provide required standards of care for children, such as providing clean and comfortable sleeping quarters, meals, toiletries, laundry, and access to medical services. A COVID-19 health screening protocol for all children will reportedly be implemented to follow CDC guidelines for preventing and controlling communicable diseases. Services will be provided by a combination of contractors and federal staff – including teams from the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response and the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.

RNC Chair: Where’s Kamala? Biden’s Border Point Person Can’t Be Bothered To Show Up. Here’s Why

By Fox News. Don’t believe the daily lies from Joe Biden’s administration: there is in fact a raging crisis at our southern border. . .

Now it’s Kamala Harris’ problem, too. Two weeks ago, Biden named Harris as his “point person” to address the ongoing surge of men, women and children flooding our immigration system. Given the scale of the crisis – exemplified by children being thrown over walls and the clear potential of a COVID-19 super-spreading event – one would expect the vice president to immediately jump on Air Force Two and get to the border. Right? 

Wrong. Instead, she’s joining her boss in refusing to go see the crisis that their reckless, backward policies have created. Maybe she doesn’t want pictures next to the children sleeping in cages. Maybe she’s too busy complaining about living in a 70,000-square-foot mansion (seriously).

Harris hasn’t even taken the time to hold a press conference since allegedly taking charge of the border situation. She is working harder on avoiding accountability for the crisis than she is on trying to fix it.  . .

Harris’ failure to do even the bare minimum – just showing up – is an insult to the people working overtime at the border to care for the thousands of unaccompanied children that are here due to her administration’s policies. They are working under immense stress to provide some level of safety and comfort even as the system is stretched to the breaking point. (Read more from “RNC Chair: Where’s Kamala?

Biden’s Border Crisis Is The Largest Influx Of Illegal Aliens In Over 20 Years

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Customs and Border Protection took more than 172,000 illegal aliens into custody in March, making it the busiest month for the agency in more than 20 years.

While nearly 53,000 of these migrants were members of family units, a record-breaking 18,890 were unaccompanied teens and children, many of whom were packed into overcrowded shelters plagued by COVID-19 spread and “dangerous” conditions for longer than the 72-hour limit permitted by federal law. Despite the Biden administration’s claims that many of those crossing the southern border are coming to the United States to seek shelter and help over gang violence and hurricane-stricken countries, the largest number of border crossings during the last month were committed by more than 99,000 single adults, many of whom are not asylum-seekers.

While the Biden administration has repeatedly denied that there’s a border crisis and blamed the abrupt migration influx on normal seasonal surges, the high numbers of illegal border crossings since the president assumed office has grown exponentially. Increases even between February and March data forced the CBP to stretch its chart to accommodate the largest numbers it has seen in at least two decades.

Border Patrol Arrests Two Illegal Aliens On FBI Terror Watch List

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two illegal immigrants from Yemen have been arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection near Calexico, California. Both men were included on the FBI’s Terrorism Watch List and No-Fly list, CBP reported.

A 33-year-old and 26-year-old, both males, were apprehended in the past few months who appeared on both government watch lists. The older man was arrested during the night of January 29, during which border patrol agents “found a cellular phone sim card hidden underneath the insole of his shoe.” He was transferred into the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The second illegal alien was arrested in late March and is in “federal custody pending removal.”

“Part of the Border Patrol’s mission states we will protect the country from terrorists,” Chief Patrol Agent Gregory K. Bovino said in a press release. “Today, like every other day, our agents did that. These apprehensions at our border illustrate the importance of our mission and how we can never stop being vigilant in our everyday mission to protect this great country.” (Read more from “Border Patrol Arrests Two Illegal Aliens On FBI Terror Watch List” HERE)

Report: Human Traffickers Using Facebook To Advertise U.S.-Mexico Border Services

/1 Comment/in , /by

NBC News reports Monday that human traffickers are “openly advertising their services on Facebook” to would-be migrants from Central America, promising safe passage over the United States-Mexico border, and “fueling false hope” that the new Biden administration will be welcoming to asylum seekers.

“While the use of social media by smugglers is not new, the practice is growing, fueling false hope as more migrants fall prey to misinformation about how the Biden administration will welcome them, according to Department of Homeland Security officials, immigration experts, and lawyers,” the outlet reported, suggesting that the sudden influx of unaccompanied minors, asylum-seeking families, and illegal border-crossers may be fueled by a social media advertising blitz.

“Travel to Mexico to the United States. Costs $8,000. 100 percent safe,” one ad, translated from Spanish and viewed by NBC News, reads. “Cross through Matamoros. You walk one hour, after in automobile until you arrive to your relative.”

“Make your dream a reality in the United States. We are here to help you,” reads another. “The journey is safe and reliable and the price is $4,500 leaving from Monterrey to San Antonio, Texas.” (Read more from “Report: Human Traffickers Using Facebook To Advertise U.S.-Mexico Border Services” HERE)

Border Patrol Official Tells ‘Harrowing Stories’ of Sexual Abuse Children Are Experiencing on Journey to U.S. (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Biden administration finally allowed reporters into a Customs and Border Protection facility in Donna, Texas, on Tuesday where more than 4,000 individuals are crowded into a space that’s only intended for 250 people. Most there are children, and in a video Reuters posted on Twitter, Oscar Escamilla, the acting executive officer for Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley operations, shared some of the heartbreaking stories he’s hearing from them.

He said about six weeks ago he spoke to “one of the little girls” in the facility who he said they were ready to send to the hospital. He said he noticed she couldn’t speak, so he asked the medical team there what had happened. They explained the reason she was going to the hospital is because she had gotten gang raped along the way to the border.

“The reason she couldn’t speak was because she had lost her voice in the process of while she was getting raped. Those things hit hard. These kids cross by themselves. Obviously, the parent pays a fee to the smuggler, the cartel member or the smuggler at this point will bring the kid over …,” he told Reuters. . .

“I asked her what state are you going to? What’s your final destination? And she said, ‘I don’t know. All I know is that it snows there, that’s all I know.’”

Infant Tossed Into Rio Grande by Human Smugglers Rescued by Texas Rangers

/1 Comment/in , /by

A Texas Ranger worked with U.S. Border Patrol agents to rescue a six-month-old migrant girl after human smugglers threw her into the Rio Grande near Roma, Texas. The infant’s mother had reportedly been assaulted by the smugglers in Mexico and sustained a broken leg.

Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) officials posted a photo on Facebook showing a Texas Ranger holding an infant girl after she was rescued from the river that separates the U.S. and Mexico. Officials say human smugglers threw the six-month-old girl out of a raft and into the Rio Grande on March 16.

The DPS South Texas Special Operations Group, Texas Rangers Division, assisted U.S. Border Patrol agents in the rescue effort. The report indicates the mother of the child sustained a broken leg after being assaulted by human smugglers in Mexico.

Illegals First Agenda: Biden’s Border Crisis Is Displacing Foster Kids

/1 Comment/in , /by

As President Joe Biden and his administration continue to downplay the surge of illegal aliens, many of them unaccompanied minors, at the U.S.-Mexico border, Americans across the nation are grappling with the changes and effects the Democrat’s disastrous border crisis is having in their communities. . .

Last week, a family located in a suburb of Seattle, more than 1,000 miles from the southern U.S. border, was asked to vacate the home they used to foster approximately 20 children over the last seven years because the nonprofit that provided it to them has “chosen to pursue a different strategic vision” and is beginning to “provide a different scope of services in support of unaccompanied youth.”

Using federal funds offered by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), Friends of Youth will turn the house, once used to give the family’s foster children who struggle with “severe behavioral problems” a place to live, into a facility for illegal and unaccompanied migrant children, despite the state’s widespread housing shortage for troubled youth requiring “therapeutic beds.” The decision, foster father Edmundo Serena Sanchez told King 5, “had a devastating impact on the four children in his foster care who will likely be required to move to new foster homes” because he can’t afford a house large enough to hold them.

That same week, the Department of Health and Human Services’ ORR requested federal workers to volunteer for “120-day deployments” to assist with the overwhelming number of unaccompanied migrant children flooding the border every day. The offer to become a temporary “field program specialist” that “involves supervising children and assisting with their possible placement with family members living in the U.S.” will allow federal employees to keep their “current rate of pay.” (Read more from “Illegals First Agenda: Biden’s Border Crisis Is Displacing Foster Kids” HERE)

VP Harris Has No Immigration Meetings Scheduled Despite Leading Crisis Response; Illegal Alien Children to Be Housed on Military Bases

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. Vice President Kamala Harris avoided media over the weekend and has no immigration-related meetings on her public schedule Monday, as the situation at the border continues to deteriorate.

Harris, who was tapped by President Biden to handle the migrant crisis last Wednesday, made no media appearances on any of the highly watched weekend news talk shows — even as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle made the rounds following their respective visits to the border.

The vice president also has no immigration meetings or public events scheduled Monday, according to her diary released by the Office of the Vice President.

The lack of response comes as the Biden administration’s undoing of former President Donald Trump’s border policies has prompted a flood of Central American and Mexican illegal migrants at the US border, including thousands of unescorted children.

DOD and HHS Mum on How Many Migrant Children They Will House on Military Bases

By Washington Examiner. The Pentagon and Department of Health and Human Services continue to conceal just how many unaccompanied migrant children will be housed at military bases across the United States.

As migrants have surged across the border in the opening months of the Biden administration, Customs and Border Protection temporary facilities have become overwhelmed, and migrant children are being transferred to alternate facilities. In past border surges during the Obama and Trump administrations, tens of thousands of migrant children were housed at military bases. Today, the DOD and HHS refuse to disclose the number of accommodations they are preparing for unaccompanied migrant children.

“I’m not going to speak to the numbers,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told the Washington Examiner at a Monday press briefing. . .

HHS again declined Monday to respond to an inquiry by the Washington Examiner for the total number of migrants it is planning to house at military bases. . .

Facilities include the two military installations announced by the DOD last week, soft-sided buildings being constructed at Fort Bliss, and 350 beds in a vacant dormitory at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.

WATCH: Liberals Hypocritical on Biden Border Crisis — Where Is Crying AOC?

/1 Comment/in , /by

Fox News contributor Lara Trump said Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” that liberals like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) are being hypocritical about the surge of unaccompanied minors at the U.S.-Mexico border, now that Joe Biden is president. . .

She added, “It’s total hypocrisy. You bring up a great point. The way they covered this under the Trump administration versus the Biden administration is total hypocrisy. Where is the outrage from the folks on the left? Where is AOC down there doing a photo op crying in front of a wall? Because I have news for her, it’s much worse right now than it ever was under the Trump administration, yet it has been crickets from those folks. I think it tells a very scary story.” (Read more from “WATCH: Liberals Hypocritical on Biden Border Crisis — Where Is Crying AOC?” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , /by

In a statement released on Thursday, U.S. Border Patrol agents confirmed that a 9-year-old girl drowned while attempting to enter the United States by way of the Rio Grande River.

According to the release, “U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to Del Rio Sector’s Marine Unit rescued two migrants attempting to cross the Rio Grande, Mar. 20.” The agents came across three migrants who were “stranded on an island on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande River.
