Politics & Policy Scoop: One-third of reunited migrant families went homelessStef W. Kight Seven-year-old Andy is reunited with his mother at an airport in 2018. The mother and son were separated upon entering the United States At least a third of migrant families separated at the border during the Trump administration and reunited in the U.S. so far under President Biden were homeless initially, three people familiar with estimates discussed by advocates and government officials told Axios. Why it matters: As the number of reunions grows, such homelessness rates have the potential to significantly strain non-governmental organizations already plagued by limited resources. Some 41 family reunifications have been completed on Biden's watch. With an estimated 2,100 families still separated, that's too small a sample to gauge with certainty the extent of the housing needs moving forward.
But sources said it could put the rate of those in need at anywhere from 30% to 50%. Behind the scenes: NGOs assisting the administration with these reunions have, at times, had little heads up about the housing needs of the families, and have had to scramble last minute to find a place for them to stay. Relatives in the U.S. or foster families who've been taking care of separated kids have not necessarily had room for whole families. In one case, there was uncertainty about where a family would live because the reunited mother was no longer in a relationship with the father, said Christie Turner-Herbas, director of special programs for advocacy group Kids In Need of Defense (KIND). What they're saying: "Parents are coming back with very little to no resources and coming back to very precarious situations," Turner-Herbas told Axios. "They're just kind of focused on, 'Am I going to be able to get back to being reunited with my child?'" "It should be in the Biden administration’s interest not to see these families ... end up in homeless shelters," Lee Gelern, the ACLU's lead attorney in its family separation lawsuit, told Axios.
“The government is working to ensure the families receive the housing and other sources of stability and care the families need," DHS spokesperson Liza Acevedo told Axios.
DHS said in a statement: “The Task Force is committed to reunifying families safely and providing them with the stability and support they need and deserve. ... The Task Force is grateful for the support of the NGOs and private funders who have been supporting this mission, as we work through the challenges presented by legal and fiscal authorities.” What we're watching: On Tuesday, the government published a request for information for a potential contract that would help the government manage and care for separated families. Advocates are pressing for more government assistance — financial and in the form of social services case managers — even as they pull together private resources to fund emergency housing needs for families.
They say there's a need for more help with food, mental health services, school registration and medical checkups, as well as housing. The bottom line: Reuniting these migrant families has been one of Biden's core pledges. The early housing woes illustrate just how difficult it's been to address the challenges for thousands of families more than three years after President Trump's "zero-tolerance" policy ended.

Do you think they may have been reunited by flights originating at Laughlin AFB?

You deflect to that........ I'll deflect to things like this........
Axios
30% of immigrants in ICE custody have refused a coronavirus vaccine
-----------------------------------------------
The number of migrant detainees who have tested positive for COVID-19 in the Rio Grande Valley sector of Texas has soared by 900 percent this month, according to a new report.
Fox News reported, “There were 135 detainees who tested positive in the first two weeks of July alone, marking a 900% increase in confirmed positive cases compared to the previous 14 months.”
=========================================
So does having basically open borders help or hinder the current covid situation in the US? ![[giveup]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/FSYefibmKqtatIXMgHZg.gif) Defund ICE? Reimagine lockdowns?

We don't have open borders and what was the figure ... 67% of Republicans don't want the vaccine?
I can't remember.
30% of people in detention camps killing themselves in detention camps or 67% of Republicans walking around killing each other and possibly others outside the detention camps.
Hmmmmmm

Hmmmmmm
41%? I hadn't heard either figure before........but even if 41 is true........ isn't that just about 20% of the US? And wouldn't many of those people likely already have had covid? Pretty sure herd immunity is within reach there.
Then there's all the people that have been vaccinated, who still come down with covid.......and likely spread it to others? And still the vast majority of all of them will survive.
If you truly believe that 20% is 'killing people'........... what about this Administration and it's policy regarding our borders? They're even flying them all around the country to spread the covid more evenly? They're certainly spreading their brand of progressive. Maybe THAT's why they also specifically told fleeing Cubans to turn back or they'd be refused entry?

1. Maybe 67% was the number of household with the fewest number of vaccinated people and they happen to be Republican. As I said: I can't remember.
2. No. 41% of Republicans is NOT 20% of Americans. Do you seriously think that there is a 50/50 split in the US?
If you think "herd immunity" is within reach then you really need to learn how to read.
3. Hundredths of a percentage point... which is well within parameters - for those who actually understand science. And if they gave it to others, the ones most likely to die from it are the unvaccinated Republicans
4. 41% (your number) is killing people.
Stop talking about the borders as if you had a clue because you obviously don't.
They aren't "flying them around the country" to spread the disease. I'll bet that those who test positive aren't allowed to ho anywhere. Stop being a racist, fucking idiot for once in your life.

2. I'd reckon the US leans more liberal than conservative. So it'd likely be less than 20%.......and certainly not a 50/50 split.
We'd have already achieved herd immunity but for this extended lockdown. How'd that work? I know, I know. You believe you saved millions.
3. Then why do you even care or bother?
4. That was PBS's number, not mine. I certainly don't bother tuning into that parasitic group's biased drivel anymore. And I resent the fact that tax dollars are still be sent their way.
Keep denying how bad it's getting in the US.........as you're also in denial about how well the people in China are treated by their Govt. Poor Hong Kong......and a billion other people.

2. That's not how herd immunity works. Read a book.
3. As much as I'd love to rid the US of Trumpanzees, I guess that sometimes I'm just an old softy who really doesn't want a genocide. I'm no Donald Trump.
4. So... it's a number from an outlet that you hate so much that you always listen? That's OK. I'm pretty sure most of Fox News' high ratings come from people hate-watching it.
5. I have never denied any of the things you just said. If you have to lie, Abs, at least make it a lie that I can't easily refute by pointing to a vast percentage of my posts.  |

2. Books no longer matter as they keep changing the definitions anyway.
3. Yeah, he really did a job rounding up all the gays and darkies, didn't he? ![[rolleye1]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/MTjbungPBOzv0BKQvdPJ.gif)
4. I Googled it after you tossed out that 67% figure......and PBS claimed 41%. I incorrectly assumed you'd prefer THEIR words over other sources.
5. You're the one here bashing the US, like so many on the left do, as if it's soooooooo much worse than everywhere else. At least you left the country unlike so many others promised and then failed to do.

2. Herd immunity is based on a mathematical equation. Does 2+2 still equal 4?
This is the part where you make some new outlandish claim about liberals changing how math works so I can laugh at you.
3. WTF are you on about?
4. I certainly don't want your usual sources like National Review, Breitbart, Fox, and Alex Jones or whoever you people listen to these days.
5. Saying that America is imperfect and needs fixing is "bashing America"?
