The top two appropriators in the US Senate have reached an agreement on a $4.6 billion funding package to address the influx of migrants at the southern border that has been deemed a "humanitarian crisis," according to three people familiar with the deal.

The agreement between Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby, an Alabama Republican, and Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the top Democrat on the panel, includes $2.88 billion for the Department of Health and Human Services to be directed to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which administration officials warned lawmakers would run out of money by the end of this month without the emergency cash infusion.

The Title Refugee Resettlement send the entirely wrong message.

This indicates that all these people can STAY here in the USA.

WRONG-—WRONG-—WRONG

The unaccompanied minors are transferred to HHS and Office of Refugee Resettlement. These are supposed to be funds to care for them.

I read the other day that nearly every country in the world quickly deports back any unaccompanied minor that arrives. We need to look into that process. I don’t see any reason we need to take on these children when we have citizen children that need help.

Yes it takes pressure off of our Border Patrol.

This money is to take care of unaccompanied minors, which HHS and Office of Resettlement takes custody of from Border Patrol. Border Patrol facilities are not set up for children, if this is not funded then Border Patrol will be dealing with children in their care with no facilities to do so. Border Patrol does not need this headache of long term care for children. BP needs to be doing their job, not more babysitting.

I have read that other countries don’t allow unaccompanied minors in and immediately deport them. I think we should do the same, but until we are doing that someone has to take care of the children and it should not be Border Patrol.
