May 18, 2021

“The $2.13 billion in funds that were redirected to the federal unaccompanied children program is more than its operating budget for the last two years, according to Politico. HHS took an additional $436 million from other departmental programs to assist unaccompanied migrant minors.

“All options are on the table,” and HHS has previously moved funds from other areas where they aren’t immediately needed, HHS spokesperson Mark Weber told Politico. “This program has relied, year after year, on the transfer of funds.”


Misappropriating federal revenue is a criminal offense. Why is the Biden Administration’s actions not reported as being criminal?

Let us not forget how Democrat Leaders responded to Governor Reynolds use taxpayer money intended for COVID-19 purposes.

SEE: Statement by Senator Claire Celsi on findings by State Auditor and U.S. Treasury Department’s Inspector General on misuse of federal COVID relief funds by Governor Reynolds

“I am disappointed that Governor Reynolds used taxpayer money intended for COVID-19 related uses for non-pandemic expenditures.

”These findings, discovered during Auditor Rob Sands’ review and confirmed by the Treasury Department’s Inspector General, prove that Governor Reynolds misused more than $20 million of federal funds the state received to fund COVID-19 relief measures that are desperately needed in our state.

“Instead of directing more money to testing and contact tracing, paid sick leave for essential workers, food assistance, childcare subsidies, additional money for rent assistance, unemployment insurance, utility assistance, providing PPE to healthcare workers and educators, and to help schools prepare for the winter season — and myriad of other uses — Governor Reynolds is using the CARES Act money as a means to fund pet projects and make Iowa’s budget appear flush with excess funds.

“The U.S. Treasury had explicit rules on how this money could be used, and upon examination, it appears those rules were ignored.

“A few months ago, I asked State Auditor Rob Sand to investigate the use of COVID-19 relief money to fund Workday, an IT project that was already underway before the pandemic.

“Normally, the Senate Oversight Committee would investigate this type of action, but Auditor Sands’ independent investigation is the only option we have at this time. I fully support his critical examination of this misappropriation of taxpayer dollars.

“I urge Department of Management Director Roderer and Governor Reynolds to immediately rectify this situation and use the COVID-19 funding for COVID-19 expenses, not as a supplement to our normal Iowa general fund budget”


So, the question remains, why is the Biden Administration’s actions not reported as being a misuse of federal revenue?

Most fraudulent "President" in this country's history. Nixon is laughing from the grave.
 
All those unaccompanied kids should be packed into busses and driven to the border. They came through Mexico. So Mexico can have them back.

That's a hell of a lot of our tax dollars going for kids who aren't even American and shouldn't be here at all. You can bet the voters are watching.

You are mixing apples and oranges. And besides see: Supreme Court rules Trump can use military funds for border wall construction.

The communist/socialist controlled Democrat Party Leadership is known for accusing others of what they themselves are guilty of.
 
From the link:

HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra can move money around agency programs as long as he informs Congress, Politico reported. The agency had to build more emergency facilities to hold migrant minors to comply with COVID-19 regulations, which cost around twice as much to operate as licensed facilities.

Was Congress not informed?

This didn’t start with the Biden Administration. The selective outrage is risible.

:rolleyes:

We are talking about legal vs illegal appropriations of federal revenue.


From what I have read, the money is being used illegally to transport children who have swarmed our border to the their illegal-entrant parents throughout the United States.

Additionally, Congress specifically allocated money involved to rebuild our nation's Strategic National Stockpile depleted by the Covid-19 response and also misappropriated money intended for coronavirus testing.

The IOWA case I pointed to shows how the Democrat Party Leadership always has a double standard when it comes to similar actions engaged in by "Republicans" ___ like using available money to build the wall, which the Democrats went to court to stop. The only problem was, the Republicans did not violate the law when using the money to build the wall! See: Supreme Court rules Trump can use military funds for border wall construction.

I did. It’s in post 9 which you quoted. Is your own article inaccurate?

Its your argument that the action was illegal. The burden is on you to support such conjecture. The article YOU cited for the OP said it was not illegal. How can I make up stuff about the article YOU posted.

I asked for proof it was illegal. If you cannot provide the evidence, just concede the point and move on.

I got a cheaper solution. Send them home. It really is that simple.

They aren't us citizens, they aren't our problem. We can't even take care of ourselves as it is. Let their own country take care of their citizens and we will take care of ours.

See 31 U.S. Code § 1301 - Application


"(a)
Appropriations shall be applied only to the objects for which the appropriations were made except as otherwise provided by law."

Now, where is the legislation appropriating federal revenue to transport children who have swarmed our border to their illegal-entrant parents throughout the United States?

If there is no such legislation, then such money spent by the Biden Administration is a misuse of federal revenue, and happens to be a criminal offense.
