ICE Spends 100 Million Ferrying Illegal Immigrants
New findings indicate that the Obama administration has expended a minimum of £13.5 million ($18.5 million) on ferrying lone youngsters who were nabbed trespassing into the US across the country. These figures were presented by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in reaction to queries from Senator Ted Cruz and distributed by the Senate subcommittee on immigration with FoxNews.com. Although ICE has defended the scheme as necessary for the protection of minors, there are apprehensions that it could be abetting smugglers.
Taxpayer Dollars Spent Outrageously: The Exorbitant Cost of Ferrying Illegal Immigrants
From June 2014 to September 2015, ICE spent £3.5 million ($4.8 million) on charter flights for unaccompanied children. From March 2009 to September 2015, they spent £10.1 million ($13.7 million) on commercial flights using funds appropriated to ICE. ICE officials specified that they solely transport children to establishments run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, as the law requires. They do not transport children directly to their parents or final destinations. Congress has provided funds to transport these unaccompanied minors, separate from ICE’s enforcement and other funding.
While an ICE official argued that the transportation of unaccompanied children by ICE personnel is suitable and lawful, a Senate source criticised the fact that ICE has expended millions of taxpayer dollars on flying these young migrants to their selected destination without taking action against their illegal alien family members who paid to have them smuggled to the United States. Another Senate source contended that ICE’s admission shows that the US is abetting illegal aliens in violating its immigration laws by facilitating their illegal journey into the country. Source
