Joe Biden’s DHS wants Congress to approve a temporary housing program for illegals being processed at the border.
Here’s more via Axios:
The Biden administration is asking Congress to approve a temporary housing program for migrant families that illegally cross the southern border — a plan that would give them more freedom than traditional detention, Axios has learned.
The administration’s ask is part of a $40 billion emergency funding request to Congress. The package includes nearly $2.7 billion for the Department of Homeland Security’s various border efforts.
DHS wants the ability to use funds to set up new types of facilities to hold migrant families as they go through an expedited asylum and deportation process.
DHS wants illegals to be able to ‘come and go as they please’ during the day. LOL. They might as well just let them go free because I can see plenty of them never returning to this ‘temporary housing’:
Migrant family members would be able to come and go as they please during the day, but would be required to check in and stay the night on the campus, a DHS official told Axios.
“We do not view this as family detention,” the official said.
The facilities would allow immigration agencies to more easily keep track of migrants throughout the asylum process, but also could ease the burden on local shelters near the border to house recent arrivals, officials say.
So let me get this straight. Joe Biden refuses to secure the border and now they want to build temporary housing for illegals with taxpayer dollars so they can ‘come and go as they please’? Yeah, no. That’s never going to fly with this Republican Congress. At least it better not.
