Federal grant to USCCB to provide legal aid to unaccompanied minors

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops will receive a federal grant of over $4 million over the next two years to provide legal aid to unaccompanied immigrant children who have entered the United States.

The US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants will also receive a similar grant from the US Department of Health and Human Services.

Kevin Appleby, director of the USCCB’s Office of Migration Policy and Public Affairs, told MSNBC that “I think it’s a recognition that many of these children have valid protection claims and they need legal representation.”

“It is a result of advocacy and raising awareness about why these children are coming and why they’re fleeing,” he added.

I want to remind everyone who cares that it was only a few years ago that a minor immigrant under the care of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Richmond VA and in conjunction with the USCCB that had received a grant like this from the Feds actually escorted and signed permission for this 14 year old to HAVE AN ABORTION. The USCCB and the bishops have not learned the lesson NOT to get into bed with the Feds. If you want more information about this, it was reported in The Wanderer.

The government is giving FAR more than that - look up donations given in the name of the Unaccompanied Alien Child Program for the Catholic Charities and you will see that $4M is NOTHING compared to what they are really giving them. They’re not the only ones. This administration is completely complicit in funding the invasion. Obama is an enemy masquerading as the CIC because some idiots with lowered cranial capacity got him elected for their own self preservation and interests.

Why is my hard-earned money being spent to care for illegals?

answer: Democrats are getting their indoctrinated constituents into shape.

I thought it’s against the law for the feds to pay for/subsidize legal aid for illegals? is this 4 large being charged back to Mexico, et al?
