Children Will Be Caught in ’14; Up 815% in 3 Yrs
March 5, 2014
CNSNews.com) - The Department of Health and Human Services is estimating in its new budget proposal that the number of unaccompanied alien children who will be caught having illegally entered the United States will rise to 60,000 in fiscal 2014.
That is up about 815 percent from the 6,560 unaccompanied alien children (UAC) who were apprehended in the U.S. only three years ago in fiscal 2011.

The administration says it cannot now predict how many unaccompanied alien children will be discovered in the U.S. in fiscal 2015, which begins on Oct. 1.
“As directed by Congress, ACF is meeting with other government agencies—this has included the Departments of Homeland Security, State, and Justice—in an effort to better understand the reasons for the increase in the number of UAC arrivals and develop strategies for managing rising UAC costs,” says the HHS Budget in Brief. “Due to the volatile nature of this program and ongoing discussions of a long term policy solution, the Administration is not able to reliably predict the number of UAC who will arrive in FY 2015 at this time.”

And last November, staff from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)’ Department of Migration and Refugee Services, the largest refugee-resettlement agency in the world, organized a mission to Mexico and Central America to examine the reasons for increased number of young migrants crossing the border.
The resulting report, issued in January by the USCCB delegation, led by Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso, Texas, warned that an estimated 60,000 undocumented minors — referred to in U.S. law as “unaccompanied alien children” (UAC) — could arrive in this country before the close of 2014.

There would be no USCCB Office of Migration and Refugee Services without your money.
Go to page 11 of the USCCB 2012 annual report, here.
Note that out of a total revenue stream of $70.9 million, government grants and contracts were an astounding $65.9 million. They also garnered another $3.6 million from refugee travel loans (that is your money too!)

Hi Maggie. If there actually was a company with the ability to fill this contract and i’m very doubtful of that, the size of the contract would be huge.
At $20 a day per child, a number i bet is way way low, it’s 1.3 million per day. Thats over 400 million per year. A winning bid would likely be closer to $50 per day or a cool billion. Of course i might still be low.

Ping.

Thanks, Maggie.
A lot of informative comments in this thread.
Is all this being done JUST to bring in new Democrats?
