"The U.S. lost track of 1,475 immigrant children last year. Here's why people are outraged now."
Under President Biden's allegedly more humane border security policies, the federal government has lost track of 85,000 children who crossed the border unaccompanied by their parents.
The scale is far bigger today because the number of children crossing the border has exploded under Biden.
Congress last week heard from a whistleblower who told lawmakers that not only has the Biden administration lost contact with these unaccompanied border-crossing children, it hasn't been properly vetting the sponsors with whom the federal government places them after they get here.
Rodas went on to say, "It can be argued that the U.S. government has become the middleman in a large scale, multi-billion-dollar, child trafficking operation run by bad actors seeking to profit off the lives of children."
Last week, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee Republican, sent a letter to Becerra, telling him she was "Deeply concerned regarding the recent reports that the Department of Health and Human Services has mishandled unaccompanied migrant children by placing them with unvetted sponsors, leading to their exploitation and forced labor."
The news about 85,000 lost migrant children got minimal press coverage.
