Check below to see how many illegal minors were placed in your county. No one asked me if I was willing to pay a higher millage and taxes to cover education, health and services for these minors. Check your county to see how Democrats treat you, the American voter.
Granting amnesty to illegal
immigrants currently in the United States will cost American taxpayers more
than $5 trillion, according to Heritage Foundation economic expert Derrick
Morgan.

How many illegals were released into your county?
“It is expected that children will continue to arrive in large numbers in the coming years,” says a DOE memo to principals obtained by The Post.
The notice comes as the city rolls out a $50 million red
carpet for 1,662 minors who crossed the border this summer to escape violence
and gangs in Guatemala , Honduras and El Salvador
In the “surge,” 5,000 of the 63,000 migrant kids caught
trying to cross US borders — or who turned themselves in for refuge — have been
released to relatives or other “sponsors” in
In the city, Queens has received the highest number of
unaccompanied children, 732, followed by Brooklyn (434), The Bronx (433), Manhattan (63) and Staten Island
(less than 50), federal reports show.
The recent arrivals join an estimated 350,000 children of
illegal immigrants already in
The DOE refused to discuss the exact numbers of recently
enrolled children, claiming it would violate student privacy. Officials ignored
questions about the cost.
The city’s per-pupil spending in the 2012-2013 academic
year averaged $20,749, which would bring the total for the migrant kids to
$48.7 million.
In response to an inquiry about unaccompanied minors from
one of its school divisions, Virginia
“In light of the heightened media coverage of the issue of
undocumented immigrant children, VDOE provides the following updated
information for your use in responding to community questions or issues,” says
the memo distributed to the commonwealth’s 132 school divisions and obtained by
Breitbart News.
The memo to Virginia
“Such equal access extends to children who come into the United States
(Daily Caller) – Since October 2013, 50,303 “unaccompanied
children” from El Salvador , Guatemala and Honduras
have crossed America
The Obama administration has sent none of these children
home. Instead, federal officials have chosen to set aside normal immigration
practices and to allow this wave of young illegal immigrants to apply for green
cards via asylum applications and to disperse across the country.

Why Can't All Immigrants Be Cared
For By Sponsors?by Jennifer Daskal and David Super
In
justifying the cuts targeted at immigrants
in last year's welfare bill,
many have argued that immigrants should rely on their sponsors — not the
government — for support. Yet, throughout the 1990s, over 300,000 immigrants
have been legally admitted to the United States
Sponsored
immigrants, totaling about 450,000 each year, come to the United States
Legal
immigrants who enter the United
States
Often
they have no relationships to U.S.
Examples of immigrants without sponsors include:
·
Refugees and
Asylees: Refugees are admitted based
on a well-founded fear of persecution. They often arrive with nothing but the
clothes on their back and usually lack friends or relatives in the United States United States United States
Last year's welfare law exempted refugees, asylees, and those granted a withholding of deportation from the ban on SSI, Food Stamps, and Medicaid for five years. Although refugees and asylees are eligible to naturalize after five years they may not begin the application process until after four years and nine months, and it takes INS an average of nine months to process naturalization applications, with the waiting time much longer in some cities. Refugees and asylees will be ineligible for SSI and food stamps during most or all of the period in which their applications are being processed. The many refugees and asylees who are unable to naturalize due to language constraints or physical and mental impairments will be among those who lose benefits after their fifth year in theUnited States

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is a program of the Administration for Children
and Families (ACF), an office within the United States
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), created with the passing of
the United States Refugee Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-212). The ORR offers
support for refugees
seeking safe haven within the United
States United States
Since 1975, the
Funding
The ORR receives
an appropriation from Congress each year with some specifications on allotments
for each division, and divides the allotment among its programs. These programs
then appropriate the money to their partnering agencies in the form of grants,
following specified formula guidelines. States ultimately hold the
responsibility for carrying out the ORR’s mission:
“Federal
resettlement assistance to refugees is provided primarily through the
state-administered refugee resettlement program. States provide transitional
cash and medical assistance and social services, as well as maintain legal
responsibility for the care of unaccompanied refugee children."[14]
The ORR uses a
matching grant program to provide funding for its affiliate voluntary agencies.
These voluntary agencies are then expected to operate the program through their
national networks. The ORR “awards $2 for every $1 raised by the agency up to a
maximum of $2,200 in Federal funds per enrollee. Note that while federal and
match funds are calculated on a per capita or client basis, the actual spending
of such funds is not per capita based."[15]

among refugees as quickly as possible,
(ii) provide refugees with the opportunity
to acquire sufficient English language training to enable them to become

available to refugees in such a manner as not to discourage their economic
self-sufficiency, in accordance with subsection (e)(2), and (iv) insure that
women have the same opportunities as men to participate in training and
instruction.
(B) It is the intent of Congress that in
providing refugee assistance under this section-
(i) employable refugees should be placed on
jobs as soon as possible after their arrival in the United States
(ii) social service funds should be focused
on employment-related services, English-as-a-second-language training (in
non-work hours where possible), and case-management services; and
(iii) local voluntary agency activities
should be conducted in close cooperation and advance consultation with State
and local governments.
(2)(A) The Director and the Federal agency
administering subsection (b)(1), shall consult regularly (not less often than
quarterly) with State and local governments and private nonprofit voluntary
agencies concerning the sponsorship process and the intended distribution of
refugees among the States and localities before their placement in those States
and localities.
(B) The Director shall develop and
implement, in consultation with representatives of voluntary agencies and State
and local governments, policies and strategies for the placement and
resettlement of refugees within the United States
(C) Such policies and strategies, to the
extent practicable and except under such unusual circumstances as the Director
may recognize, shall-
(i) insure that a refugee is not initially

governments) by the presence of refugees or comparable populations unless the
refugee has a spouse, parent, sibling, son, or daughter residing in that area,
(ii) provide for a mechanism whereby
representatives of local affiliates of voluntary agencies regularly (not less
often than quarterly) meet with representatives of State and local governments
to plan and coordinate in advance of their arrival the appropriate placement of
refugees among the various States and localities, and
(iii) take into account-
(I) the proportion of refugees and comparable
entrants in the population in the area,
(II) the availability of employment
opportunities, affordable housing, and public and private resources (including
educational, health care, and mental health services) for refugees in the area,

the area becoming self-sufficient and free from long-term dependence on public
assistance, and
(IV) the secondary migration of refugees to
and from the area that is likely to occur.
(D) With respect to the location of
placement of refugees within a State, the Federal agency administering
subsection (b)(1) shall, consistent with such policies and strategies and to
the maximum extent possible, take into account recommendations of the State.
(3) In the provision of domestic assistance
under this section, the Director shall make a periodic assessment, based on
refugee population and other relevant factors, of the relative needs of
refugees for assistance and services under this chapter and the resources
available to meet such needs. The Director shall compile and maintain data on
secondary migration of refugees within the United States
In allocating resources, the Director shall
avoid duplication of services and provide for maximum coordination between
agencies providing related services.

subsection (c)(1),
(iii) for targeted assistance project grants under subsection (c)(2), and
(iv) for assistance for refugee children under subsection (d)(2).
