Biden Passes the Buck as Migrant Minors Settle In
avatar By Bob Dane July 24, 2021 1 Comment
A record influx of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) is burning through federal budgets, and will strain state and local services to the breaking point. Last spring, the Biden administration spent $60 million a week to shelter migrant youths. Costs will rise significantly as monthly arrivals are projected to surge this fall.
Some 400 unaccompanied children illegally cross the southern border each day. As summer temperatures begin to dip, the flow is expected to double to 20,000 or more per month.
Amid the crush, the pro-immigration Migration Policy Institute (MPI) is pushing for a full suite of juvenile services, ranging from “social and emotional support,” to legal aid, to specialized education and job training. These “exciting and cutting edge” initiatives would be both “bilingual and bicultural,” naturally.
