US lost track of 1,500 immigrant children, but says it's not 'legally responsible'
The federal government has placed thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children in the homes of sponsors, but last year it couldn't account for nearly 1,500 of them.
. . . .
Wagner's statement has attracted more attention amid reports that immigrant children are being separated from their parents at the US border.
Wagner said the Department of Homeland Security referred more than 40,000 immigrant children to the ORR during the 2017 fiscal year.
This is not required by law.
It is Trump's own personal policy.
So of course he tweeted up a storm this weekend blaming Obama, the Democrats, and current immigration law for what he called the cruel and inhuman separation of families of people illegally crossing the border.
Put pressure on the Democrats to end the horrible law that separates children from there parents once they cross the Border into the U.S. Catch and Release, Lottery and Chain must also go with it and we MUST continue building the WALL! DEMOCRATS ARE PROTECTING MS-13 THUGS.
Again, it is entirely his policy not at all required by law and not imposed by Obama or the Democrats.
And he seems to have forgotten that the Republicans control both houses of the congress, not the Democrats.
Do they want to change the law in some way?
Have at it.
