Governor blasts feds for keeping mum on undocumented children placed in Nebraska

[UncleBeer 244]

Why all the secrecy for something that's supposedly a 'humanitarian effort'? And why scatter them far and wide across the country if you're even pretending to ever send them back where they came from?

Gov. Dave Heineman blasted federal officials Friday for refusing to give him details about 200 undocumented children who have been placed in Nebraska as the feds grapple with a crush of Central American kids sneaking across the nation’s southern border.

Nebraska Watchdog first reported on the children after U.S. Sen. Mike Johanns confirmed their placement on Thursday. U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials told Johanns on June 27 that the children were placed with families or sponsors in Nebraska after being caught or turning themselves into the U.S. Border Patrol.

The children are part of a wave of Central American children who have crossed the Mexico-America border and overwhelmed Texas facilities. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services by law must find a place for the children while they await deportation hearings, and if they have family in the U.S., that’s where they go.

About 52,000 unaccompanied children have been caught at the border since October, double the number from the prior year.

The governor said he had “no idea what was going on” until the past 24 to 48 hours, although he said, “We had some suspicion.” He said it was outrageous that federal officials are declining to give him information about the kids’ whereabouts.

“I’m just very, very concerned and I can’t believe in America we have a government who is essentially secretly transporting (them) to Nebraska and we can’t know who they are,” he said. “The federal government should be very transparent about what’s occurring.”
