Radke will lead the Department’s child welfare and youth justice work.

PolitiFact s ruling: False
Here s why: Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., arguing against President Joe Biden’s immigration agenda, claimed that there’s no screening process for people coming into the United States.
While millions of Americans are out of work, Cotton said in a Feb. 1 Fox News interview, Biden wants to give amnesty to 15 million people living illegally in the country, invite more guest workers, and give people with bogus claims of asylum an opportunity to come into the country to work. And we are in a pandemic, good job, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade responded sarcastically.
Cotton continued: A lot of these migrants that are coming, we have no way to screen their backgrounds for either health or for security. He praised former President Donald Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy to keep asylum seekers in Mexico, as opposed to being released into our country pending a hearing.
