The Biden administration is moving $860 million in COVID funds to cover pandemic-related expenses of housing children who have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border.
Bloomberg News reported Tuesday that Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra notified members of Congress that the HHS-designated funds would be moved from the National Institutes of Health to the unaccompanied children program.
In Becerra's letter to lawmakers he said the money would ensure the safety of unaccompanied minors who have shown up at the border and the staff attending to them at shelters.

Better yet - end them back where they came from. How can they expect American Citizens to keep paying for people who don't care about law. All these are is a bunch of federal criminals. They came into the country illegally = they are criminals. They get nothing except a return to their country. The last thing we need are more criminals in this country.
