U.S. moves to speed up releases of unaccompanied migrant children

WASHINGTON - The U.S. government is taking new steps to speed up releases of unaccompanied children to parents or other sponsors as the Biden administration grapples with a growing number of underage migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border.

In January, U.S. Border Patrol caught 7,300 unaccompanied minors crossing the border illegally, the highest number of arrests in the month of January in at least a decade and up from 4,500 a month earlier.

Children apprehended at the border are now subject to a process outlined in U.S. law and standard before Trump’s order: they are held briefly in the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and then transferred to government shelters before being released to their parents or other adults in the United States. From there, the children can pursue their claims for asylum or other protection in immigration court, some with help from lawyers or sponsors.

HHS, which oversees shelters for migrant children, is in the process of switching to a new database that will speed up security background checks for sponsors, said a department official who requested anonymity to discuss internal operations.

“It can really help shave off hours, even days, from how long it takes us to do all the background checks for a relative or sponsor for these kids,” the official said.

Why would they want to speed up and encourage child trafficking?

Do they send these kids to brothels?

Seems like these squatters think they have to work really, really fast on everything they do.

Hmm ...

All these old rich white People trying to flood the country with 3rd worlders thinking they’ll be long gone before we become Mexico 2.0.
Maybe they have enough money to live in gated communities but their children and their children’s children will have to live in a South American style hell hole. I guess most of them are sociopaths and simply don’t care.

Yes, they send them to brothels. They have to speed up the release because the Hollyweirds and other elite pedos had a shortage at their parties.

Trump was testing them for DNA to return them to relatives. But now they being released to sponsors who can sell them.

Illegal adoptions and forced labor are also the order of the day.

You don’t think the rich Democrats are going to clean their mansions by themselves, do you? How gauche!

I thought I heard "circle around" tell us yesterday that we are "not ripping unaccompanied children from their parents like the previous administration did."
