Dozens of congressional Democrats asked federal health officials Monday to take extra steps to protect gay illegal immigrant children from abuse while they’re in custody, including ensuring that transgender children are housed with the sex they identify as.
Saying reports of mistreatment “continue to emerge” from federal facilities, the lawmakers asked the Health and Human Services Department’s Office of Refugee Resettlement to improve care for the tens of thousands of illegal immigrant children who streamed across the border over the last year, and who are still coming, though in smaller numbers.
“We request ORR to work with providers to ensure that LGBT unaccompanied minors receive affirming and culturally competent care, that placement and housing assignments for transgender youth are consistent with their gender identity, and that appropriate preventative measures and response systems are in place to address incidents of sexual assault as mandated by law,” said the lawmakers, led by Rep. Raul Grijalva, Arizona Democrat.
The Democrats said ORR is delinquent on writing new rules that would apply prison rape standards to the 100 or so facilities the agency has contracted to house illegal immigrant children.
A spokesman for the agency didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Monday morning.
The lawmakers didn’t list any specific instances of abuse nor give statistics about the rate of illegal immigrant children who identify as other than heterosexual that are being held in federal facilities.

Democrats are a sick bunch.
Democrats are a sick bunch.
Whisky, Tango, Foxtrot!? Is the percentage of these transgender, homosexual, bisexual, pedophile, law breaking creatures so high that they need to pass a separate law to protect them?
They need to list the Congressman who support this.
“transgender illegal alien children”
How many could there possibly be? How many transgendered children could there be, alien or not?
Chromosomes! We don’t need no stinking chromosomes!
Meanwhile at the VA hospital........
When did the Washington Times start cribbing from “The Onion”?
I have to buy a new insanity gauge because the Democrats have once again bent the needle by pegging the old one. So what did the loslas niñoas do back home south of the border?
Will the politician that cares about regular ordinary Americans please stand up.
Huh?
The Dems are worried that the kids will pick up some STD’s before they can get their perverted hands on them.
I seriously doubt it. has to be a fraction of a fraction of a percent.
Exactly.
“transgender illegal alien children” is probably the number one concern for Americans today. Being as how we now have full employment and the disability and food stamp programs are rapidly closing offices due to lack of demand and the deficit is almost erased, it’s time to address the little things.
Transgender, sex changes and other perversions are a product of rich, bored butt wipes like Chastity Bono. Not illegal urchins who lived in a box in their native sh&&hole country! It’s all they can do to scrape together a kernel of corn to split up amongst the family, much less spending time and energy on figuring out “who they really are”.
It seems the dems are going to manufacture them somehow. Thats all I can figure. It might be good to understand what the defn of ‘children’ is. Much of the time dems use words in ways not obvious. To fit their narrative, children could mean anyone up to age 60. You can just never tell...
