North Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Walker expressed serious concerns over the Biden administration's handling of unaccompanied minors at the southern border in light of a new operation to fly thousands of teenagers into his hometown.
The former Greensboro, North Carolina, congressman and Republican Study Committee chairman told the Washington Examiner on Friday that his fears stretched from the public safety of the residential community to the lack of information being shared by the government.
Walker is also worried about the Biden administration's growing reliance on these types of temporary emergency facilities, particularly given that this one would sit on a 100-acre American Hebrew Academy boarding school campus that the government would turn into a global "academy" for students on site despite its only holding children an average of 29 days.
"When you bring in 800 mostly older teenagers, mostly young, single males ... I think anybody would be rightfully concerned about this, especially when you start saying, 'Well, it's not just going to be a temporary — we're going to call this an academy.' That's alarming to people," said Walker. "They said they were going to keep them on the property and they can't get out. How do you do that?"
