President Joe Biden’s deputies will bypass the media’s clickbait focus on border-backlogged “kids in cages” by simply flying and bussing more Central American migrants to homes through the United States.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) told Breitbart News that its Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) has:

…authorized programs to pay transport fees for unaccompanied children (including airline tickets), including escort transport (where necessary by airline or ORR policy) in order to facilitate release of children to approved sponsors.

ORR care providers are authorized to use program funds to purchase airline tickets in the event that a sponsor is not able to pay fees associated with commercial airfare, and a child’s physical release would be otherwise delayed.

So now they’re trying to figure out what to do with them because you know AOC [Rep.

“President Biden ran the 2020 campaign promising to ‘return to norms.’ His new immigration proposal and his new guidance to ICE show that was a complete lie.

“Many, including Heritage’s first-class immigration team, have already covered the massive amnesty provision at the center of the proposal, but it is also packed with norm-busting changes to long-standing U.S. law. Under the proposal, American taxpayers would be forced to pay for legal representation for illegal immigrants, and the term ‘illegal alien’ would no longer be used in official government documents – erasing the distinction between illegal aliens, temporary visitors, and lawful permanent residents.
