Opponents of the resolution argue that the proposed rule is necessary to ensure the efficient and effective care of unaccompanied children. They believe that the rule provides clear guidelines for the ORR to follow in order to protect the well-being of these vulnerable children. Overall, Bill 118 sjres 94 is a contentious piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate over how best to care for unaccompanied children who enter the United States.
