On Friday, The Washington Free Beacon<\/a> reported that the Biden Administration’s Office of Resettlement lost track of almost 100,000 migrant children. At the same time, it has also quadrupled the amount of money awarded to contractors responsible for placing migrant children with responsible adults.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Office of Refugee Resettlement doled out upwards of $6 billion in 2021 and 2022 to contractors and nonprofit groups\u2014up from $1.7 billion in 2020\u2014according to records<\/a> obtained by the Functional Government Institute and provided to the Washington Free Beacon<\/em>. The taxpayer funds were supposed to be used to help place 264,000 unaccompanied children<\/a> with adult relatives or sponsors with whom they could await court dates, though the agency lost track of almost 100,000 of those kids.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The massive increase in grants is attributed primarily to more than $5 billion in no-bid contracts doled out to three companies, a practice Democrats such as Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D.) and Vice President Kamala Harris decried<\/a> during the Trump administration. Among the companies that benefited from the Biden administration\u2019s largesse: the San Antonio-based nonprofit Family Endeavors, which inked a $579 million no-bid contract with the Office of Refugee Resettlement in March 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was only a problem when Republicans were doing it!<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

“Putting aside the eye-popping increases in funds to house and transport migrant children\u2014and the potential for rampant waste, fraud, and abuse\u2014these records provide early receipts for the cartel-friendly immigration policy that actually endangers children,” said Functional Government Initiative communications director Peter McGinnis. “The federal government\u2019s failure to exercise existing authority has created nothing short of a humanitarian crisis.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Department of Health and Human Services did not respond to a request for comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, our government does not do many things well. If the border were closed, we might be able to take care of the few unaccompanied children that sneak through, but there is no way to handle to flood of children that is currently coming through. The real tragedy is that a large percentage of these children will wind up being sex trafficked and other horrible outcomes. This is a disgrace for a supposedly civilized country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
