A spirited group of House Republicans took charge and fired off a demand letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, hollering for answers about the mishandling of unaccompanied alien children (UACs). The rambunctious bunch, led by the fearless Rep. Lance Gooden of Texas, flexed their muscle by demanding a detailed rundown on how the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) has been dropping the ball with over 85,000 UACs who seem to have disappeared into thin air after being handed off to U.S.-based sponsors. Yeehaw, talk about chaos at the corral!
These cowboys ain’t just whistlin’ Dixie either – they’re barking mad about the lackadaisical approach of ORR in checking out these sponsors, suspecting that human traffickers might be circling like vultures waiting to prey on these innocent children. The audacity of HHS to wave off background checks and documentation requirements for sponsors is downright scandalous! This ain’t no Wild West, folks, it’s Uncle Sam’s backyard, and we can’t be letting no riffraff waltz in unchecked.

Rep. Gooden was right on the money when he bucked the trend and called out the Biden administration for rolling out the red carpet for these nefarious criminals. These slippery characters are slithering through the cracks faster than a rattlesnake in high noon! It’s high time HHS gets its act together and puts some muscle into safeguarding these young’uns from the clutches of evil-doers.
The posse of House Republicans didn’t stop there; they roped in a posse of like-minded allies from Texas, Wisconsin, and Louisiana to join the stampede for accountability. Pardners like Reps. Chip Roy and Pete Sessions ain’t about to let the herd stray without a fight! With the HHS Inspector General sounding the alarm about shoddy safety measures and sponsor screenings, it’s clear as crystal that the barn door’s wide open and the foxes are guarding the henhouse.
It’s high time that the Biden administration quits the bellyaching and steps up to the plate on border security. By golly, these UACs deserve better than being lost in the bureaucratic quicksand while traffickers lurk in the shadows. HHS better saddle up and rustle some answers quick, or else there’ll be a showdown at high noon on Capitol Hill! Yeehaw!
