Yesterday The Washington Examiner <\/a>posted an article about the cost of young people illegally entering America<\/a> every day.<\/p>\n

The article quotes Center for Immigration Studies<\/a> Policy Director Jessica Vaughan:<\/p>\n

\u201cAn average of 255 illegal alien youths were taken into the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement<\/a> (ORR) every day this month, according to the latest figures the agency provided to Congress<\/a>. This is the largest number of illegal alien children ever in the care of the federal government. To pay for it, the agency says it will need an additional one or two billion dollars for the next year \u2013 above and beyond the $1.2 billion spent in 2016 and proposed for 2017 \u2013 depending on how many more arrive. For now, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)<\/a>, where ORR resides, is diverting $167 million from other programs to cover the cost of services for these new illegal arrivals through December 9, when the current continuing resolution expires.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, what are the other programs? A total of $167 million will be coming from other federal programs. This includes $14 million from the Health Resources and Services Administration<\/a>, including $4.5 million from the Ryan White<\/a> HIV\/AIDS Program and $2 million from the Maternal and Child Health<\/a> program. I have a question. If (according to the Democrats in Congress) it is impossible to cut the federal budget, how can you cut these programs? Are you denying Americans what they need to accommodate people who entered the country illegally? Wouldn’t it be cheaper simply to send the youths home?<\/p>\n

Let’s hope that the new Congress follows its obligation to approve a budget and stick to it. This is ridiculous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
