It was bad enough that the borders were wide open during the Biden administration, but it was really awful that so many unaccompanied minor children crossed the border and went missing.<\/p>\n
On Friday, The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n The Trump administration has found more than 129,000 migrant children who went missing under the Biden administration.<\/strong><\/p>\n Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on X Friday that federal authorities located the children after \u201cthe Biden administration lost them\u201d and that \u201ctoo many \u2026 were exploited, trafficked and abused.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe will continue to ramp up efforts and will not stop until every last child is found,\u201d Noem said.<\/strong><\/p>\n Federal officials combed through immigration court records and data kept by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to find the children, a federal government source familiar with the operation told The Daily Wire. They only counted those who showed up for their immigration hearings.<\/strong><\/p>\n It was a massive undertaking since the Biden administration kept poor records on the children after they crossed into the United States, said the source, who was granted anonymity because they weren\u2019t authorized to speak publicly.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cUnder the Biden administration, the data was so bad, and our ability to find where these cases went was so bad, we just had to comb through every single agency to see if these kids [had] ever stepped in front of another agency,\u201d the source explained.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe kid had to be present [in court] for us to count it,\u201d the source added.<\/strong><\/p>\n Earlier this month, the Trump administration revealed it had located roughly 62,000 of the missing migrant children.<\/strong><\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n Under the Biden administration, roughly 500,000 migrant minors crossed the border unaccompanied. Many of them were released to poorly vetted sponsors who, whistleblowers say, never had to appear in person to prove the children were going to safe homes.<\/strong><\/p>\n The vetting concerns were also corroborated in an inspector general\u2019s report<\/a>\u00a0released last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n Whistleblowers said they believed some of the sponsors were traffickers and gangbangers.<\/strong><\/p>\n Roughly 291,000 unaccompanied migrant children were never given their court dates, the government watchdog found.<\/strong><\/p>\n Another 32,000 migrant children who had future court dates never showed up to their hearings, according to the report, which tracked cases from October 2018 to September 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is not acceptable. In July, I posted an article about some of the unaccompanied minors working on a marijuana farm in California (article here<\/a>). Many of these children have been sold into sex trafficking or child labor. No civilized country should be a party to this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was bad enough that the borders were wide open during the Biden administration, but it was really awful that so many unaccompanied minor children crossed the border and went missing.
