\"2262336428_149a271a5c_o\"<\/a>Last week Senator Chuck Grassley\u00a0released<\/a>\u00a0findings from a DHS-whistleblower that show several thousand of the Unaccompanied Alien Minors (UAM) apprehended at the border over the last two years have been placed with sponsors who have serious criminal records. It\u2019s\u00a0estimated<\/a>\u00a0over 10 percent of UAMs are now living with sponsors previously charged with serious crimes, including child molestation, sexual assault, human trafficking and homicide. Considering the president\u2019s line that the ongoing UAM-crisis is simply about kids \u201cescaping rape and violence,\u201d the vetting gaffe\u2019s a cruel bit of irony for those kids now being subjected to possible endangerment.<\/p>\n

The Grassley findings should be embarrassing for the administration, especially considering the leap in expenditures the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) has recently committed to the area of background checks \u2014 HHS takes UAMs off the hands of Border Patrol after they\u2019re apprehended. Through public records requests, the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI<\/a>) has obtained documents showing taxpayer funds earmarked for sponsorship-checks more than tripled since Obama\u2019s first \u201cdreamer\u201d amnesty in 2012 from $2.1 million to $7.4 million. Indeed, the demand\u2019s certainly been high. Other documents IRLI\u2019s obtained show actual \u201creunions\u201d between UAMs and sponsors (which includes parents) going up from 9,514 in 2012 to 53,379 in 2014.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
