Why is it difficult to bring Matti’s parents to England as refugees?
Answers
Answer:
On Wednesday, former Defense Secretary James Mattis rejoined the board of General Dynamics, a massive defense contractor whose IT division works with the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) on issues related to the “needs of unaccompanied children.” Mattis joins John Kelly, former Department of Homeland Security Secretary and White House Chief of Staff, as former Trump cabinet members who helped implement the zero tolerance policy and now stand to benefit from its continued effects and Trump’s immigration policy.
Mattis originally joined General Dynamics’ board in 2013, and left when he joined the Trump administration. Since 2000, the company has had contracts worth millions of dollars with ORR. In fiscal year 2017, General Dynamics had $15 billion in government contracts, making it the third largest federal contractor “by dollar amount.” Despite stating that the company had “no role in the family separation policy,” General Dynamics was advertising jobs for ORR around June 2018, such as a data-entry position responsible for monitoring youths’ cases, and another position tracking “new placements and progress of minors in ORR funded care.”
As Defense Secretary, Mattis worked with HHS to help facilitate the Trump administration’s family separation policy. Just before President Trump signed an executive order to end the policy, Mattis indicated that HHS was considering housing migrants on U.S. military bases. The sites would be run by “HHS employees or contractors working with them” according to a DOD memo. Mattis said that “We support DHS and right now this is their lead and we’ll respond if requested.” When asked about children separated from their parents, Mattis said he was “not going to chime in from the outside,” but then acknowledged that figures such as then-secretary Kirstjen Nielsen “maintains close collaboration with us.” Mattis also said “We support whatever they need.” DOD confirmed it would be housing migrant children the day after President Trump signed the executive order ending the family separation policy.
