Is Anyone Protecting The Children?

On Monday, PJ Media reported the following:

The Biden administration admitted in a letter to Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) that it has lost track of nearly 20,000 unaccompanied migrant children since January 2021.

“Of the 108,981 Safety and Well-Being Calls conducted since January 2021 for children discharged from ORR care, there are 19,726 sponsors who could not be reached,” reads the letter from Acting Assistant Secretary Jennifer Cannistra of Administration for Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

And they have no plans to look for them.

“While ORR’s custodial responsibilities end when a child is released from ORR care, ORR provides post-release services for children and sponsors who would benefit from ongoing connections to community services,” the letter sent to Biggs on February 24 reads. “Although ORR has no legal custody after a child is discharged, ORR does follow-up by phone.”

“It took HHS 5 months to respond to my letter and admit that they’ve lost track of nearly 20,000 unaccompanied alien children. More troubling, they don’t seem that worried about it,” Biggs tweeted.

The problem here is that many of these children will wind up being sex trafficked.

The article concludes:

Under Obama and Biden, the Office of Refugee Resettlement, “failed to do proper background checks of adults who claimed the children, allowed sponsors to take custody of multiple unrelated children, and regularly placed children in homes without visiting the locations.”

What happened to all the children lost by Biden? Have they been sex trafficked? It’s highly possible that many have, and with the Biden administration feeling no sense of responsibility for the safety of these children, I dare say we’ll never know just how many. But it happened under the Obama-Biden administration, and so it’s safe to say that it’s happening now under the Biden-Harris administration. In fact, journalist Heather Robinson predicted back in April 2021 that Biden’s border policies would increase the sex trafficking of children.

The Biden administration’s border policy is a disgrace. What is even more of a disgrace is that Congress has not be screaming from the rooftops that this is going on. Unfortunately the Chamber of Commerce Republicans and the Democrats both want an open border–cheap labor and future voters. We need to primary every Congressmen who is not visiting the border and speaking out about the conditions there.

Thank You, Representative Biggs

Since 9/11, air travel in America has been a bit of a pain in the neck–particularly if you are singled out for further scrutiny. There are a lot of elderly grandmothers that have been subjected to unnecessary screening so that screeners can’t be charged with profiling. Air travel isn’t as much fun when you have to take off your shoes and take your computer out of its case, etc. Some of those security precautions may actually be useful, but I suspect that some of them are simply for show. Well, things have the potential of getting worse. Representative Biggs is seeking to prevent that from happening.

Sara Carter reported the following yesterday:

Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs introduced legislation Monday preventing Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg  from imposing Covid-19 testing mandates on air carriers for domestic flights, according to a press release.

Buttigieg revealed during an ‘Axios on HBO’ interview this past week that the Biden administration is evaluating a requirement that would make all passengers take a COVID test proving they’re negative before boarding any domestic and international flights in the United States. 

“It is outrageous that the Biden administration is contemplating new regulations or guidelines to require passengers to undergo COVID-19 testing before domestic air travel,” said Biggs. He has has been outspoken on the extraordinary measures that have infringed on American freedoms during the coronavirus lockdowns.

“This is another unscientific, bureaucratic action designed to control Americans’ lives and increase dependence on government,” he said. “Further, such a mandate would devastate the airline industry and destroy massive sectors of our recovering economy.”

Biggs noted that he fly’s “domestically regularly each month, and I observe the efforts of the airlines to make each passenger safe. The Biden administration should listen to the airline executives and heed the science of healthy air travel. This misguided idea should not become implemented policy under any circumstances.”

Meanwhile we have people pouring over our southern border coming from a country (Mexico) that has the highest coronavirus fatality rate of the 20 countries most affected by the coronavirus (see article here). There is something basically illogical about putting an extra restriction on air travelers while letting the virus invade the country through a porous border.
