Biden funding illegal immigration into US communities
The Biden Administration is paying upfront cash or reimbursements to underage illegal immigrants or their relatives to cover their travel to communities across the U.S., a federal document obtained by The Daily Wire reveals.
The Department of Health and Human Services document, which deals with settling “unaccompanied minor” illegal immigrants in the U.S., says under the category “Sponsor Travel Support” that U.S. taxpayers will foot the bill if the minor can’t.
“Historically, [Office of Refugee Resettlement] had a 20% funding cap on travel for sponsors if a sponsor was unable to pay,” the document states. “This cap has been lifted and supplemental funding requests are now permitted. As of March 22, 2021, ORR can pay for the sponsor, UC [unaccompanied child], or escort’s travel upfront as well as reimbursements.”
That’s part of a “Transfer of Physical Custody” in which once HHS’ Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) “approves an UC for release, the care provider collaborates with the sponsor to ensure physical discharge happens within 3 calendar days. Whenever possible, sponsors are expected to come to the are provider or to a designated offsite location with identification.”
The document says the “Unaccompanied Children Program” includes children who travel “to the United States seeking refuge from poverty” and that “By law, HHS ORR has custody and must provide care for each UC.” It says it has done so for more than 400,000 children.
It says it attempts to unite the children with sponsors such as relatives, but for nearly 8% of children, none can be found. Those children are released at age 18.
HHS’ Administration for Children and Families, whose logo is on the document, did not immediately return a request for comment.

Why is Congress appropriating this kind of funding for obvious illegal entry into the country? Does Biden have a slush fund for this?
