The Trump administration is canceling English classes, recreational programs and legal aid for unaccompanied minors staying in federal migrant shelters nationwide, saying the immigration influx at the southern border has created critical budget pressures.
...
Federal officials have warned Congress that they are facing “a dramatic spike” in unaccompanied minors at the southern border and have asked Congress for $2.9 billion in emergency funding to expand shelters and care. The program could run out of money in late June, and the agency is legally obligated to direct funding to essential services, Weber said.
The move — revealed in an email an HHS official sent to licensed shelters last week, a message that has been obtained by The Washington Post — could run afoul of a federal court settlement and state licensing requirements that mandate education and recreation for minors in federal custody. Carlos Holguin, a lawyer who represents minors in a long-running lawsuit that spurred a 1997 federal court settlement that sets basic standards of care for children in custody, immediately slammed the cuts as illegal.
An average of 12,500 children and youths were held in federal shelters nationwide in April, according to HHS. They stayed an average of 48 days until a case worker could place them with a sponsor, usually a relative.

Fine. Send them back to where they came from and let their parents pick them up and take care of them.
Works for me.
Better yet — don’t let them in in the first place. Turn back these next generation gangbangers at the border.
I don’t mind taxpayer money going towards English lessons, yes even in those instances.
What I do mind is English being relegated to second place in AMERICAN schools.
They need to ear their keep...before they get deported.
So, take them to court.
Anyone read the story of the Texas school teacher who wrote to Trump on Twitter asking him to please stop the illegals as her class is overrun with Mexicans? They FIRED her!!!

There was actually more than one pic of cages for kids that Obama had constructed for unaccompanied minors.
Three Youtube videos, one from ABC News, shows these cages.

From the article you posted which is being offered up as though it’s a “straight news” story...
“Anything you can do to remove the illegals from Fort Worth would be greatly appreciated,” she said, using a pejorative term for undocumented immigrants.”
Since when is referring to “illegal aliens” in this country as “illegals” pejorative???
It’s 100% accurate.
Damnit our front-line defenders are not baby sitters, teachers or lawyers...... kick every one of them out right now!!
Drop-kick them back over the wall and let them be someone else’s problem.
About f#cking time.
Texas will soon turn blue. And then it'll all be over, as far as voting is concerned.
English classes, soccer, free attorneys are not basis care...have nothing to do with shelter...
Good. They won’t need English where they’re going.
No I think the bad word was “remove”
