After months of delay, the Department of Homeland Security replied late last month to a Congressional demand for information about the number of illegal migrants the department has flown from border towns to communities around the country. In 2021, it said, 71,617 were dropped off in nearly 20 cities including locales as far from the Mexican border as Atlanta, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia.
Immigration experts critical of the Biden administration’s permissive immigration policies believe those numbers are incomplete, especially regarding the most vulnerable migrants, those under 18, whom DHS classifies as "unaccompanied children." The agency says some 40,000 of the total transported are such minors, but that number is only a fraction of the 147,000 "encounters" the agency reports having with unaccompanied migrant children at the southern border between January and October 2021.
“Everyone wants to know where they’re going, but nobody knows,” said Todd Bensman, a national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington-based think tank. “Well, somebody knows,” he adds. “The government knows. But they are being as opaque and ‘darkened-windows’ as they can be about the entire matter.”
The lack of information raises a host of questions regarding the health and welfare of the children, and more:
- What security checks are being performed -- and background checks to ensure these minors are going to safe homes? How can checks be conducted on family members in the U.S. illegally who wind up taking custody of the children (a problem highlighted in a 2019 study)?
- What processes are in place to ensure that these children have enough to eat, are receiving any necessary medical care, or are enrolled in school?

If a person or a family or even a child, sneaks into a movie theater, A circus or carnival, they fully expect if caught to be kicked out and if they resist the Officers of the Law will assist them. Our Nation is no different.

NoSlack, And I will support a "Bounty" on those who refuse.

When a Republican is elected President, I will support collecting all two million plus up and sending them back across the border. Tell them to use the legal method of asking for aslyum and not the illegal method.
We are conservatively looking at about 15-20 million illegals in the USA.......I'd get rid of them all, I don't care how long they have been here, how many kisds they had illegally on American soil. Send them back!
ALL of the illegal alien invaders are being sent to conservative areas with the intent to swing them into liberal toilets that they can then control !!!!!!!!!!
Picture the "Children" as "Admission Tickets" for their Illegal Parents to enter the States permanently.

Well with Epstein and now Ghislaine out of the picture... someone's got to provide kids for the Elite Liberal Pedo's... Jus Sayin!
Whatever information DHS gave to the Congress was in all likelihood understated. As for illegal alien children - send them back.
Security checks and background checks being performed - don't make me laugh.
i hate to sound unsympathetic, but It is not our responsbility to see that children get enough to eat - it is their parents. If the parents send them to the US without coming themselves - well that is just too bad isn't it?. Why should the citizens of the USA pay for anything for the illegals - children or adults? If this is what the de"mock"rats want - then let them and only them pay for it!
Considering how corrupt the biden admin. is I wonder how many of these children have ended up in sex slavery?
Sorry, but this last question shouldn't be asked, but since it is asked, the answer should be ........who cares? We didnt want them, we didn't approve of them coming, we didn't transport them, they are not our responsibility. If the politicians want them, let them pay for it all out of thei4 own pockets, otherwise get them out of our country!
