The Biden “open borders” story will go down as one of the most destructive chapters in recent U.S. history.  What in the world were they thinking at the Biden White House?  Didn’t they realize that such levels of lawlessness would produce a lot of chaos and problems?  I guess not, because they opened the border anyway and we know how it turned out.

One of those problems was the missing kids, a total tragedy to say the least.  The Trump administration updated the country on the story this week and it was amazing.  Let’s check this out:

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced Thursday that the Trump administration has located 146,000 unaccompanied migrant children who were trafficked into the United States during the Biden administration and subsequently lost.

During a news conference at the Department of Justice with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and other Trump administration officials, Mullin credited a joint effort between DHS, ICE and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for finding the missing children, which he said President Trump has made a high priority.

Unfortunately, nearly 300,000 minors remain unaccounted for, according to Mullin, although officials continue to search for them.

The DHS secretary lamented that Democrats and their allies in the media continue to demonize DHS and ICE as they work to find them, telling reporters that investigators are examining horrific abuse allegations, including claims from some children that they were ‘raped 600 to 700 times.’

‘I don’t care who you are,’ he said. ‘If you can’t stand for law enforcement to go find these kids, who are you?’

Mullin attributed the child trafficking crisis to the Biden administration’s failure to vet sponsors and conduct wellness checks, saying it was ‘true neglect at best and criminal at worst to allow 450,000 kids to go missing throughout this country.’

He also stated that most of the trafficked minors were being found in ‘sanctuary’ cities, calling out New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani specifically for not allowing federal immigration agents into the city to conduct immigration enforcement operations.

Officials described a lax system under the Biden administration where ‘super sponsors’ used fraud to gain custody of multiple children, often lying about familial relationships.

Blanche noted that many of these children were abused, assaulted, and exploited by criminal networks linked to drug cartels while being trafficked into the country.

It’s unbelievable to read this report.  What could go wrong when you allow criminal networks to operate in sanctuary cities?  We know now.

We are happy that DHS is finding some kids and looking for more.  Glad to see their commitment to fixing this problem, but let’s hope that someone in the Biden administration is held accountable for such a colossal case of lawness and corruption.  It’s hard to believe that no one in the Biden White House knew about these kids falling in the hands of criminal networks.  It’s even worse that nothing was done to help the kids or demand accountability from sanctuary cities.
