Confirming what we already knew.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Department of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson admitted Tuesday that in some cases the federal government is turning over unaccompanied illegal immigrant minors to their family members who are also in the U.S. illegally.
“These kids that come here illegally, they are law breakers already, and you place them with families, and it’s my understanding that some of these families may be illegal themselves, is that correct?” Georgia Republican Rep. Paul Broun asked Johnson in a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on the “growing problem of unaccompanied children” crossing the southwest border.
“I’m sure that’s true,” Johnson responded.
