Biden Administration Proposal on Unaccompanied Alien Children Does Nothing to Stop the Humanitarian Crisis, says FAIR and Group of Senators

By
FAIR Staff
- December 05, 2023
In October of this year, the Biden Administration published a proposed regulation related to processing, housing, and caring for unaccompanied alien children (UAC) who come across the border without a parent of legal guardian. On Monday, FAIR submitted a comment to the Department of Health and Human (HHS) in response to the proposal, and strongly urged that it be substantially revised in my aspects, arguing that the regulation implements ill-advised policies that would seriously jeopardize the safety of unaccompanied alien children by aiming to process and release as many as possible, as quickly as possible.

Everything it seems comes with detailed instructions, disclaimers, and warnings of adverse effects - often to comic extremes. Apple's iPod shuffle had a warning label “Do not eat,” while the yellow sticker on Rowenta irons still cautions “Do not iron clothes on body.” Admittedly those are moronic examples, yet being properly informed of risks generally prevents things from being misused and avoids contraindications that can and do cause serious harm.

As the border crisis continues to impose disastrous costs on taxpayers, the Biden Administration has moved to lessen its impact on sanctuary jurisdictions by proposing that illegal aliens be required to remain in Texas. In doing so, the President would shield his allies in sanctuary cities, while continuing to jeopardize the safety and security of citizens in border states.

Government policy scholar Leonard D. White once observed that “the objective of public administration is the most efficient utilization of the resources at the disposal of officials and employees.” Reasonably-minded citizens understand that finite supplies of money and personnel (which keep taxes in check) mean that public officials must make hard choices between options, and allocate resources in a responsible manner that (hopefully) optimizes social good. It’s generally accepted that not everyone gets everything they want or need.

What You Need to Know About Immigration

Growing Amnesty

Amnesty

Amnesty is usually understood as the granting of legal status to a foreign national who illegally entered the United States or illegally overstayed their work or travel visa.

At FAIR, we believe that a well thought-out and well-enforced immigration policy plays an important role in helping maintain the quality of life in America.

Take Action Today!

It’s easy to become emotional about topics like immigration reform. For those of us who have grown up with and embraced the concept of sovereignty, it’s difficult to imagine a country, a nation without secure borders. And without the policies and legal processes that keep our sovereignty as originally imagined, we risk losing it all to those who embrace an agenda of mass uncontrolled immigration, sanctuary cities, and cheap labor.

And yet, that is the very real threat we are facing today from anti-border radicals. And that’s why real action is needed — action that is part of that definition, part of that protection that we all value most.

Indeed, until all of us who care deeply about this issue take action, immigration reform is simply an intellectual exercise. And clearly, thought and words and sentiments are simply not enough to see us through.

Make no mistake, FAIR is fighting back by launching new projects and initiatives that:

  • Put America first,
  • Stop the flow of federal money to sanctuary cities, and
  • End the terrible policy of chain migration.

But this is a battle that we can’t fight alone. And one way you can help support right now, is a donation or even a monthly contribution of $25, $50, $100 or more to the preservation of the America we know and love.

Get involved. Stay Involved. Take action now.
