The Biden administration has poured billions of taxpayer dollars into
the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR) since October 2022, according to a new report from
Open the Books.
The Biden administration spent $8.925 billion in fiscal year 2022 and
$10.928 billion in fiscal year 2023 on the Administration for Children
and Families (ACF) at ORR to accommodate, transport, and provide
migrants with various other services like medical care and loans,
according to the report, which was released Tuesday. In recent months,
HHS has faced scrutiny for ORR’s alleged mishandling of cases of
unaccompanied migrant children, some of whom have been released to
poorly vetted sponsors where they are used for child labor, according to
The New York Times. (RELATED: ‘Aren’t Necessarily Reliable:’ GOP Rep

Illegal immigration at the southern border has hit record highs under
the Biden administration with federal authorities recording more than
2.2 million encounters of migrants crossing illegally in fiscal year
2022 and more than 2 million in fiscal year 2023, according to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statistics.
The agency has lost contact with 85,000 unaccompanied migrant children,
according to the NYT. Meanwhile, the Biden administration has spent more
than $5.5 billion separately in fiscal years 2022 and 2023 on
unaccompanied migrant children, according to the Open the Books report.
“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 said in a statement Tuesday.
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.
HHS received 118,938 unaccompanied children from the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) in fiscal year 2023, 128,904 in fiscal year
2022, 122,731 in fiscal year 2021 and 15,381 in fiscal year 2020,
according to agency data.
Concerns of exploitation of the migrant children released by HHS sparked
a Department of Labor investigation, which the Biden administration
announced in February.
“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 at the time.
Overall, the Biden administration has faced scrutiny for its handling of
the crisis at the southern border. The House Homeland Security Committee
recently held two hearings regarding impeachment proceedings against DHS
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and his handling of the border surge.
