Here is the section of the budget that has the Kids Get You Out Of Jail Free Card!. Sec 224.
It somewhat clearly states that no money can be furnished to even detain or check on detention status for the illegal immigrant child and the “sponsor”. Except if the “sponsor” is an aggregated felon, associated with a shady business not paying legal wages, or a pimp.
But how would one even figure out if the kid and “sponsor” are legit if no money can be legally spent on detaining and checking?
Sloppy AF law. Unless you just want illegals to come in.
But technically, just using the money has been banned.
Can Trump just take the money from a non US Treasury source, give it to Customs, and start deporting?
Or just have the MIL come in?
