Congresswoman McClain Statement on HHS Sending Unaccompanied Alien Children to Michigan

Statement

Today, Congresswoman Lisa McClain (R-MI) released the following statement after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced plans to fly unaccompanied alien children apprehended at the southwest border to Michigan.

"I am appalled the Biden Administration is sending unaccompanied alien children from the border into Michigan," said Rep. McClain. "President Biden's open-border policies are encouraging parents to send their kids into our country alone. It is irresponsible and past time the president gets the situation at the border under control. Mr. President, it was reported your administration was not going to send illegal immigrants north, you have now flip-flopped. Mr. President, can you assure us with the Michigan numbers rising that these unaccompanied minors don't have COVID and that they have already been processed? Mr. President, do your job!"

HHS is opening a facility to house unaccompanied alien children in Albion, Michigan.
