Members of the United States military repeatedly because we are a humane Nation. What we are talking about with this gentlemans amendment that I strongly oppose is temporarily housing unaccompanied minor children who find themselves in a tragic circumstance in the United States of America. The Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement is required by law to provide shelter. care. and placement. Because the number of unaccompanied children has spiked in recent years. it is difficult for HHS to find temporary housing for all of them. As long as there is no impact on DOD military activities. the Department should be allowed to identify facilities in the United States to provide the same type of humanitarian assistance to minor children that we do in the Philippines.
