After being stretched by the coronavirus pandemic, the U.S. foster care system has another challenge ahead: an unprecedented number of unaccompanied migrant children coming over the southern border who need care before they can be placed with relatives already living in the U.S.
BCFS Health and Human Services, one of several nonprofits that shelter unaccompanied minors, told Fox News that the organization does not support any proposals to place migrant children in state-funded foster care.
"From what we know, we see no impact from these decisions as migrant children are not currently placed in and, in our opinion, should not be placed in state-funded foster care systems," BCFS told Fox News in a statement. "We encourage all states to prioritize the quality, availability and funding for the care of displaced children who are US citizens. These are children who have generally been abused and neglected by those who should love them the most and, to that end, deserve and need the support of the public and private sectors in order to survive and have the opportunity for safe and productive lives."
SC already told the FED "No" to taking illegal kids. SC Governor said our system is full and American children take priority.
And that's as it should be. Our own displaced kids should be our priority and we have nothing left to care for foreign kids who shouldn't even be in our country not without tax increases to our citizens and not without creating hardships on our own kids.
Well someone is calling around to states asking to take illegal kids.
From April: https://www.wistv.com/2021/04/12/mcm...ren-border-sc/
McMaster, who just returned from visiting the southern border, issued the order after consulting with DSS on the state child welfare system’s capacity to accomnmodate an influx of minors, according to a release from the governor’s office.
In a letter dated April 8, DSS Director Michael Leach told McMaster about the federal government’s “preliminary inquiries to transport an unknown number of unaccompanied migrant children from the southern border and place them in South Carolina foster care and group homes licensed by DSS,” the release states.
Don’t worry, it won’t be long before the Dems replace their own kids in favor of undocumented children.
