The Biden administration has allocated billions to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) for migrant services, facing criticism for mishandling cases of unaccompanied migrant children, some of whom were reportedly exploited for child labor.
Record-high illegal immigration at the southern border has led to concerns, with over 2.2 million encounters in fiscal year 2022 and more than 2 million in fiscal year 2023.
The ORR’s expansion plans have been questioned, and concerns about child labor exploitation have sparked a Department of Labor investigation.
“The Office of Refugee Resettlement is seeking to expand its mission even further in future years, and far-left members of Congress appear to be on board. This is creating an endless flow of people seeking help with anything from travel to health care to loans,” OpenTheBooks.com Founder & CEO Adam Andrzejewski stated.
“By extending so many benefits we are creating an endless spiral of spending – and the pain can be felt everywhere from hospitals, to schools to shelters across the country. This financial self-harm must come to an end; ORR must return to its original mission of simply resettling true refugees,” Andrzejewski said.
“We see every day the scourge of child labor in this country, and we have a legal and a moral obligation to take every step in our power to prevent it. Too often, companies look the other way and claim that their staffing agency, or their subcontractor or supplier is responsible. Everyone has a responsibility here,” U.S. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh said.
The administration has also faced scrutiny for its handling of the crisis at the southern border, leading to discussions about impeachment proceedings against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
