Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R‑TN) and Bill Hagerty (R‑TN), as well as Rep. Chuck Fleischmann (R‑TN), say President Joe Biden’s administration has resettled more than 18,300 migrant children across the United States in the matter of a couple of months with little-to-no transparency.
On Thursday, Blackburn, Hagerty, and Fleishmann sent a letter to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra requesting information on the thousands of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) that the Biden administration has released into the U.S. interior.
The Tennessee congressional delegation writes that even as thousands of UACs are resettled across the U.S., the Biden administration has not disclosed whether the migrant children are lawfully in the country, are being placed with sponsors without criminal records, and whether sponsors have the financial means to care for UACs.
