Senate probe faults government for migrant child abuse
Monterey Herald ^ | 01/28/16 | Mary Clare Jalonick and Garance Burke

Posted on 01/28/2016 3:01:10 PM PST by artichokegrower

Migrant children in the government’s care were placed in U.S. homes and left vulnerable to human trafficking due to sometimes non-existent screening by the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a congressional report released Thursday.

The investigation says HHS failed to run background checks on the adults in the sponsors’ households, failed to visit sponsors’ homes and failed to realize some sponsors were accumulating multiple unrelated children, which can be a sign of human trafficking.

The should be sent back to whatever self-imposed dunghole they were pinched off in. Do these people in hellholes not know what birth control is?

Ohio Ping

Rob Portman on the Lead with Jake Tapper said that HHS is responsible.

These unaccompanied children were coming to be “reunited” with family members and in many cases there were no family members here.

here is Sen. Rob Portman’s report - video of hearing.

Adequacy of the Department of Health and Human Services’ Efforts to Protect Unaccompanied Alien Children From Human Trafficking

Background
Portman to blame federal government for slave labor at Ohio egg farm

Four accused of trafficking slave labor at egg farms
http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2015/07/03/4-accused-of-trafficking-labor-at-egg-farms.html

The men and woman charged, as well as their associates, recruited families in Guatemala as long ago as 2011, promising safe passage to their children, protection and a good education.

Instead, authorities say, the workers were forced to live in run-down and unsafe trailers that Castillo-Serrano owned — some without heat in winter — in the Oakridge Estates mobile-home park on Marion-Agosta Road in Marion.

According to the indictment, some of the victims were forced to work 12 hours a day, sometimes seven days a week, cleaning chicken coops, loading and unloading crates of chickens and de-beaking and vaccinating them.

There NEVER WAS “family” here to be re-united to.

It was always a scam to bring the kids (14-18 year old unaccompanied males!) into the US, then bring the rest of the democrat voters into the US to be re-united with the first male here.

So, who paid the people taking these “kids” ?
How much per kid?

So slavery has blossomed under the Obama Administration.

Don’t know who was paying for these kids or how much. Perhaps Liz will weigh in on it, or others.

HHS should be prosecuted as well as individuals.

We don’t have a clue who is coming in or where and what they are doing once they’re here. January ‘17 can’t come soon enough... if we’re still around to see it.

The word slavery was on the ticker tape on the Lead with Jake Tapper, although Tapper had a substitute today.

Please post if you find it on CNN - good interview.

At the hearing, HHS officials declined to fully answer many of the senators' questions
As said Lois Lerner, as said Hilliary Clinton

Obama is overworking the system. He does not have enough employees to absorb so many immigrants. It was up to him to have advisors who would warn him of this danger. This is a high crime and misdemeanor — one among hundreds committed by this negligent monster.
