[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't Congressional Democrats want to do anything?[/quote]

Proving once again your ignorance. Which you could avoid by reading more.[/quote]

Well, there are restrictions.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is running out of money.

Senate agreed to $1.2 billion to Customs and Border Protection to relieve overcrowding and to improve care.  I don't know how that works, however, as these centers can only fit so many people.

The bill includes restrictions - some ever supported by Rs - that include no border wall funding.  There is no support for extra beds, which was requested by ICE. There is also Congressional access to ORR built into the funding.

We shouldn't build more beds.  Release them and they'll return for their hearings.  Not detain them.[/quote]

You really must think this process is simple.  Let's just cut them loose!  lol

1. They need to placed appropriately - in areas with sufficient social services.
2. They are assigned case managers who must get to know the people well in order to ensure their needs are being met.  Anyone with half a brain knows how overworked and underpaid social workers (or others in service fields) are.  Can they communicate first of all?  if not, who's providing translation services, which will lengthen the process???
3. They need jobs.  not an easy task, especially with language barriers and different skill sets
4. Health screenings don't end at the border, especially if trauma is present - and that's typically the case. 
5. community outreach - People need to feel connected. So which groups will help with basic needs through donations, for example?

These measures should be tracked through an automated services.  So the social worker can see updates, for example, in order to keep up with his/her assigned person or family.

I'm amazed at how ignorant so many of you are.  TRULY ignorant

You seem to think this is all so easy - that it's simply a matter of taking them in.  People have to work. They need shelter. They need schooling. They need to care for their health. This all takes MONEY and TIME.  And time is money.

So while we bolster the border, we also need to either hire more health  and mental health workers - or we overwork the ones we have b/c of budgetary constraints.  And then when kids enter schools, ESOL classes grow, which is an additional expense.  If the money's not there, then we rob Peter to give to Paul, which means allocations from other areas are drained.  How much money is set aside for additional classroom assistants? And then there are space issues, as schools become overcrowded.

It ain't so easy, folks, b/c it doesn't end at the border. So a toothbrush is the least of our worries.
