Foster family kicked out of home to make room for unaccompanied minors

Edmundo Sanchez joined by radio host Jason Rantz describes what his family has gone through since leaving home on ‘Fox News Primetime’

A Washington state social services non-profit is evicting a foster father and his family to make way for illegal immigrants, the parent told Fox News on Wednesday.

Edmundo Sanchez of Renton, Washington, joined Seattle radio host Jason Rantz on “Fox News Primetime” to explain how the announcement led to tragedy almost immediately.

Sanchez told host Rachel Campos-Duffy that upon hearing the news that they woud be forced out of their home, one of his foster children was hospitalized due an anxiety attack while another ran away and has reportedly not yet been located.

Rantz also reported that the new migrant-focused program was awarded $400,000 in federal taxpayer funding, though FOY has denied its move was based on that. 

Sanchez told Fox News he found out in February that he would lose his home. 

“Two of the managers of the agency I work for … came to the house and they gave me a letter saying that I have 45 days to leave the house,” he said. 

Rantz added that “[foster children] are incredibly vulnerable. They are going into this state already traumatized because of the situation that led them to foster care. And any time they have to go from a home to a home to a home puts them in further trauma. It is a soulless position to do that to these kids.”

He later praised State Rep. Michelle Caldier, R-Kitsap, herself a former foster child for seeking a “legislative fix” to them problem

Later in the interview, Sanchez told Campos-Duffy that despite claims to the contrary, the decision by FOY was “definitely” about money.

“They say they want to maximize their resources, which in terms that I understand is maximize their profits … which is not OK for [an] agency [categorizing itself as] nonprofit. So, it makes no sense.”

“We are moving out of the property today,” Sanchez added. “We don’t know where we are going to go next, honestly.”
