Matthew Albence, executive associate director for ICE, told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that four-fifths of the families that sponsor unaccompanied alien children (UACs) are illegal aliens themselves or have illegal aliens already living in their homes. The placement of UACs is coming under additional scrutiny after some were considered "lost" when sponsors refused to respond to placement follow-up inquiries.
"From our data that we've seen just recently, you're looking at close to 80 percent of the people that are sponsors or household members within these residents are illegally here in the country," Albence testified.
