The Biden administration has lost track of more than 230,000 unaccompanied children who crossed our southern border. This shocking revelation came from a Department of Homeland Security inspector general report that should outrage every American parent. Former DHS Secretary Chad Wolf called this one of the most underreported stories in years.
To put this crisis in perspective, that’s enough missing children to fill America’s largest football stadium three times over. These aren’t just numbers on a government spreadsheet. These are real children who have vanished into the shadows of America.
The Department of Homeland Security admits it sent 31,000 children to invalid home addresses. They released these vulnerable kids to sponsors who were never properly checked or vetted. More than 43,000 children simply failed to show up for their court hearings and disappeared completely.
This disaster is the direct result of Biden’s open border policies that welcomed millions of illegal immigrants. When you abandon immigration law and refuse to secure the border, children become the victims. The administration created this humanitarian crisis through their reckless political agenda.
These missing children face horrific dangers including sex trafficking, forced labor, and exploitation. The DHS inspector general warned that the children are at higher risk for trafficking and abuse. Many are being used to pay off smuggling debts through unspeakable crimes.
The Trump administration worked hard to track down missing children and rescue them from traffickers. President Trump’s team understood that protecting children meant enforcing our immigration laws. They had systems in place to prevent this kind of massive failure.
The liberal media has largely ignored this scandal because it makes their preferred candidate look terrible. When the New York Times reported last year that 85,000 children had gone missing, barely any other outlets covered the story. They would rather talk about anything else than admit Biden failed these kids.
American families deserve answers about how our government lost a quarter million children. Every parent should demand accountability from the politicians who created this crisis. These missing children represent the true cost of open border policies that put politics before protecting the innocent.
