Report: HHS Grants For Detained Illegal Alien Children Reaches $1 Billion

That is obscene and clearly blows away the argument that illegal immigrants contribute to, not drain, the American coffers.

Report: HHS Grants For Detained Illegal Alien Children Reaches $1 Billion

$75 million to $1 billion in 10 years

The Hill – July 14, 2018

Story continues below advertisement

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) handed out nearly $1 billion in grants last year for child welfare services for detained migrant children, the Associated Press reported Friday.

The grants for the services, which include shelters and foster care for the children, have skyrocketed from $74.5 million in 2007 to $958 million in 2017, according to the AP.

More than 11,800 of the children are being housed in about 90 facilities in 15 states. The children are held as their parents wait for their immigration proceedings, or are considered for asylum if they arrived in the U.S. unaccompanied.

HHS in May requested bids for five projects involving detained immigration children that could add up to more than $500 million.

This has to STOP.

ILLEGAL adults coming here being REJECTED for asylum should be REQUIRED to take their kids back with them.
Yes I know these UNFIT parents are using them for CHAIN MIGRATION.

Another approach to take out the incentive of parents literally abandoning their kids on U.S. soil when rejected is to ONLY allow people to ADOPT them and cut out foster care. This would BREAK the chain migration tie and less incentive for them to leave their kids here when rejected. This is totally unhealthy for ANY kid to literally be used like this. They are guaranteed to have major mental issues after this.

1 billion dollars wasted on people that should not be in our country. How many homeless veterans would that money have helped?

Thousands. But, who cares about veterans. They only preserve our democracy with their lives.

And too many veterans can’t be trusted to vote for dems. Illegals are a better investment risk. /

Their goal is to have illegals eventually vote in American elections – destroying the constitution (like they are doing in California).

The “child” argument is just a front for what they won’t say out loud.

Agree. And the first Muslim democrat president imported 200,000 yearly legal and illegal muslims and
deported christians back to ISIS to be slaughtered after they tried to make it to America http://tinyurl.com/mtc3xch

And those who dared to help were threatened to shut up and MSM would not cover it !

There is no such thing as a law-abiding illegal immigrant.

The problem with sending the kids back to their parents is that the adults who brought them across the border are quite often *no relation* to them. The solution is to restore the law that lets people earn citizenship by joining the military — and otherwise send them back where they came from. Yes, by all means, let those “immigrants” take with them all the goodies they got and the money they made in the US; in fact, let’s give each of them a parting gift — a sturdy revolver, with cleaning kit, several boxes of fitting ammo, and a profusely illustrated instruction book — so that they can keep their cash and goodies once they get where they’re going. But don’t let them come back.

Illegals earn citizenship via military?? No. If they can’t respect our laws, why the f÷@% should we give them the opportunity to be come citizens?!

These kids are NOT our responsibility! Send them back. As long as we coddle illegals, they will continue to pour in.

Make it hurt and cut off aid, and they will stop.

When a see a parasite holding a sign that says “No borders No nations F…Your Deportations, I immediately smell George Soros money. If I tried to pull some petulant stunt like that anywhere the other nation or state would have me either in jail or deported out of there the very same day. Their behavior is the proof we don’t need these people.

If they feel that way, go to Mexico and try holding up those signs.

This is insanity! Think what that money could do for Americans! It could pay for most of the wall.

Just a few more years of open borders, until the GOP is put on the ash-heap of history and the US turns into a Democrat Utopia, where everybody gets their fair share and the rich pay their fare share, and there is a Banger on Every Block, and where the entire world gets to partake in the American Dream, just get here, you hear?

In other words, we Americans need to start assimilating to the illegal-immigrant point of view.

“No borders” really so any conniving crook can go into any country with any name religion and slowly work from the inside out! These new immigrants are truly evil with no moral ethic fibre in their bones
