Biden administration offers four month paid leave to federal employees who take in migrant children – Law Officer

The Biden administration has offered thousands of federal employees four months of paid leave if they’ll volunteer to take in migrant children who have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.

The administration emailed the federal workers asking for help with Unaccompanied Alien Children, or UACs, according to The New York Times.

“The desperate plea landed this week in the email inboxes of employees in government agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and NASA: Will you consider taking a four-month paid leave from your job to help care for migrant children in government-run shelters packed with new arrivals at the border?” The Times reported.

“The request to much of the federal work force came from the Department of Health and Human Services, which is at the heart of a frantic effort by the Biden administration to keep up with a surge in young people crossing the southwestern border hoping to reunite with relatives already in the United States,” the paper wrote.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday said on Fox News that he thinks the number of UACs will be higher than the 35,000 the Biden administration estimates will be in custody by June, Daily Wire reported.

Abbott last week blamed the Biden administration for the border crisis, noting that Texas child welfare agencies have received complaints about sexual abuse at one detention center, the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Law Officer reported.

“This facility is a health and safety nightmare,” Abbott said. “The Biden administration is now presiding over the abuse of children. To end this abuse, the Biden administration must immediately shut down this facility.”

Nevertheless, that will not occur, according to the White House.

“Well, first we take safety and the well-being of children in our care very seriously, hence our earlier conversation about the funding spent to keep them safe during the pandemic,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki saidd. “His claims will be looked into and investigated by the Department of Health and Human Services.”

She added: “Currently we have no basis for his call to shut down the San Antonio Freeman Coliseum as an intake site but we will of course — we take these allegations seriously and they will be investigated.”

Gov. Abbott called on the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Rangers to immediately open an investigation.

IF this is classified as “Foster-care” the child is automatically a citizen.

Why can’t Joe and Jill take in a dozen? Plenty of extra rooms in the White House.

If it’s such a noble gesture…why do people have to be paid to do it?

Government subsidized foster homes for an army of foreign nationals poised to replace those pesky citizens.

It probably isn’t. Just toss it on the stack of illegal EOs the democrat dicktator has issued and the eGOP is too spineless to block.

bidet learned from watching obozo. Not what to do but the fact NOTHING a democrat POTUS does is ever challenged. NOTHING.

This is absurd, get federal workers to WORK else fire them. Send these kids home to their home countries and let their social services take care of them. Find the parents if in the US and offer them deportation or child neglect charges and jail. Time for action, for the kids.

Will it be for the migrant children who were dumped at the border who are under 10 years of age who have screamed so loudly from being gangraped that they damaged their vocal cords?

THOSE children?

Absolutely and in all seriousness. These kids, the families, the trafficers, and all need justice—deportation, arrest, jail, whatever. NOT Citizenship, NOT work permits, NOT taxpayer-paid social services. Just the immediate boot out of the country and let their home countries take care of them.

What’s next? “Catch and keep”? If a member of the border control catches an illegal he is responsible for the illegal’s care and feeding for the rest of their lives.
