If I didn’t know any better, I’d think that a new(ish) Health and Human Services rule adopted in April of this year, which made the vetting process for potential sponsors of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) a whole lot less intrusive for the adult applicant(s), was a strategic change to promote the trafficking of children, because that’s exactly what it’s done, and Xavier Becerra is to blame.
How can he possibly rationalize a process that doesn’t implement rigorous criminal background checks for every single potential sponsor? If you read the rule, standard protocol is a quick scan of the sex offender registry and a public records check… but FBI background checks only apply to “some” potential sponsors.
Law of unintended consequences… or a natural progression of a deliberately planned scheme?
Yesterday, Becerra testified at Capitol Hill before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement, and his admissions will sicken you—when Texas’s Chip Roy quizzed Becerra on whether or not he could account for the roughly 400,000 UACs whose whereabouts are reportedly unknown, requiring he respond with either a “yes” or a “no,” Becerra sidestepped and launched into a filibustering word salad.
