WASHINGTON - The U.S. government is taking new steps to speed up releases of unaccompanied children to parents or other sponsors as the Biden administration grapples with a growing number of underage migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border.
In January, U.S. Border Patrol caught 7,300 unaccompanied minors crossing the border illegally, the highest number of arrests in the month of January in at least a decade and up from 4,500 a month earlier.
Children apprehended at the border are now subject to a process outlined in U.S. law and standard before Trump’s order: they are held briefly in the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and then transferred to government shelters before being released to their parents or other adults in the United States. From there, the children can pursue their claims for asylum or other protection in immigration court, some with help from lawyers or sponsors.
HHS, which oversees shelters for migrant children, is in the process of switching to a new database that will speed up security background checks for sponsors, said a department official who requested anonymity to discuss internal operations.
“It can really help shave off hours, even days, from how long it takes us to do all the background checks for a relative or sponsor for these kids,” the official said.

There are NEVER any “unaccompanied “ children from south of the border. They were brought here, and pushed across the border. They are just one avenue used to exploit our stupid immigration laws to flood, and to end the country, as we have known it, with immigrants. Our replacements are arriving. Historically, a conquered people are sometimes displaced from their homeland to assure they never rise again.
>>Do they send these kids to brothels?<<
it did say...”other sponsors”...and “other adults”, so yeah.
Who are they going to release them to? The reason they’re there is because they can’t find their parents or family.
I know if one of my children were there they would not have to come searching for me
Send them to the democrat mansions they have the room and money to feed them Pelosi first.
The DNC is one sick crime party.
more proof that the kung flu is a scam...
“Children” are 13 to i8? Probably 23 to 38
Assuming they really are unaccompanied children, they will be released to wander the streets?
Take them back across the border. They are Mexico’s problems, not ours.
More for the pedos.
“Will the media report when one or more of these kids ends up sold into sex slavery?”
Or when they murder someone a few years from now?
Ms13 murders are down; time to restock!
