The Department of Health and Human Services has brought nearly 430 unaccompanied alien children (UAC) to Chicago, and placed them under the care of Heartland Alliance, according to a release from Senator Mark Kirk (R., Ill.). Heartland Alliance, describes itself as “the leading anti-poverty organization in the Midwest” on its website and is an HHS grantee. The kids are being held at multiple locations in the Chicagoland area, a staffer in Kirk’s office tells National Review Online.
An additional 319 alien children have been placed with family members or sponsors in Illinois as of June 17, 2014, according to another release. Kirk has expressed concerns about whether the UACs had criminal backgrounds, but said the State Department was unable to provide information about the matter. “If any of these individuals has a criminal record in their home country, our government owes it to the American people to facilitate a sharing of records and reassure our nation that these individuals pose no threat,” Kirk said in the release. In order to better determine whether or not the minors had criminal histories before illegally entering the United States, Kirk sent a letter to U.S. ambassadors in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras requesting information about whether the embassies have done background checks on the UACs.
I’m not sure that’s an improvement from where they came from.
*facepalm*
Why do all the jokes about these idiots come true??
I wouldn’t be staying in any Chicago hotels or motels for a while.
Because Guatemala is dangerous, see.
Question: Where did HHS get all the money for this?
Yep....that'll make 'em wanna go back.
Thread winner!
From me and you.
Check yer wallet.
More wealth redistribution.
Brought 430 of them to Chicago? So they left Central America to get away from gangs and crime and where does Obama send them?
Man, I wish we had some loyal Americans in the Congress.
Chicago, of all places? Sheesh. They could get shot just for being in Chicago - double digits every weekend practically.
Double digets and open season on Hispanics street gang members I’ve been told.
Maybe its their illegal alien parents doing the shooting
Chicago is being replenished because it is running out of people to shoot.
How many of those 430 have gang tattoos?
somebody really smart has to do an analysis of why this is all happening. if you think about a couple of hundred kids in a city like Chicago, its not going to change the demographics. if there is a twenty year plan of the browning of America, that’s one thing, but I don’t see a change for the short term.
