Sends letter to Secretary Kerry questioning inappropriate use of UAC funds among other concerns

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) recently sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry asking more questions about a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) document that appears to contradict key aspects of the Administration’s policy regarding the handling of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC). This letter represents the latest step in Sen. Cruz’s thorough examination of the Administration’s multi-agency approach to last year’s UAC influx, and follows two prior letters to HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell on the subject:

“Several weeks ago, I was given a document from the Department of Health and Human Services that raises even more questions about this Administration’s handling of the UAC influx, including questions about whether the Administration is being honest with the American people,” Sen. Cruz said. “The totality of the information I have makes it seem as if the Administration has been concealing its true understanding of the scope of the UAC problem from most of Congress, ignoring its own intelligence on the problem, and engaging in some creative accounting to avoid its enforcement duties. 

“I have asked for additional information from Secretary Burwell, and I am now looking to hear from Secretary Kerry about the Department of State’s role in its handling, or mishandling, of the UAC issue.  I am looking forward to hearing from Secretaries Burwell and Kerry, and also looking forward to helping the American people obtain the accuracy and transparency they deserve.”

Sen. Cruz’s letter to Secretary Kerry can be found here.

Boehner will make them citizens before the state department finds the paperwork.

So are they talking about the 2 or 3 little girls waving an American flag they were able to find or;

The 90% unaccompanied 14-18yoa hardcore MS13 tattoofaces that come across and need to be given five-star treatment before they can be reunited with their Homies in LA, SF, and Chicago?

Cruz is going through the motions and ratcheting up the pressure.

In 3 days. DHS has its deadline to explain to Judge Hanen how and why it violated the court’s order. If Judge Hanen puts DHS in receivership, then it could eventually extend to DHHS and State.

And they wasted no time committing heinous crimes once they got here.

Pray. The HHS structure that each state is bound to set up is fleecing and invading the crap out of this country. All linked up to non-profits/charities that are on the government nipple for millions. I contacted Cruz’s office about this garbage a few months back. Hope they can cut that funding.
