"South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster issued an executive order Monday directing the state to block the federal government from placing immigrant children entering the country illegally into foster care and group homes. The order is a response to a Biden administration request seeking placement for unaccompanied migrant children at the U.S.–Mexico border.
“Allowing the federal government to place an unlimited number of unaccompanied migrant children into our state’s child welfare system for an unspecified length of time is an unacceptable proposition,” McMaster said. “We’ve been down this road with the federal government before and the state usually ends up ‘on the hook.’”
