Good afternoon. This joint hearing focuses on the trafficking, exploitation, and missing unaccompanied children at the Southwest border. We are examining how current border policies have allowed dangerous cartels and traffickers to exploit vulnerable children. The number of unaccompanied minors arriving has surged, with nearly 530,000 encounters under the Biden administration, compared to less than half that during the Trump administration. Many children arrive with no clear family connections, often appearing drugged. The administration claims to have humanitarian policies, yet these situations reflect a failure to protect these children. Agencies like CBP, ICE, and HHS are overwhelmed and unable to properly vet sponsors, leading to over 85,000 children reported lost. This is unacceptable, and we must address human trafficking and ensure the safety of these children. Thank you to our witnesses for being here today.

The second wave of focus is on the missing children, with the number now down from 300,000 to about 220,000, as 75,000 to 80,000 have been located. If Trump can access the list of these children within his first four days in office, it raises questions about the Biden administration's efforts. Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas stated they didn't know where the children were, but it seems there were better methods to track them down. It's surprising that he was impeached but not removed from office.

The speaker criticizes the current system for losing track of 85,000 children. They argue that the focus should be on addressing the actual issue rather than creating fictional scenarios. They highlight the increase in unaccompanied children crossing the border since Democrats took charge, with only a brief decline during a Republican administration. The speaker emphasizes the need to reunite these children with their families and ensure their safety. They also question the whereabouts of the 85,000 children under the Biden administration.

The speaker states the U.S. federal government is the world's largest child sex trafficking organization. They claim that under President Biden's open border policies, the U.S. has experienced the largest mass invasion in history, costing hundreds of billions of dollars and resulting in a significant demographic shift. The speaker asserts that Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas intentionally weaponized illegal immigration to transform America, leading to a surge in child trafficking. They state that over 550,000 unaccompanied alien children (UACs) will have been lost by the end of the current administration, compared to 30,557 UACs accounted for during President Trump's last year. The speaker claims that HHS and ORR admitted to losing contact with over 85,000 UACs in 2023, a number that an inspector general later revised to over 320,000. They allege that DHS, HHS, and ORR created policies to expedite the movement of UACs to unvetted sponsors, resulting in children disappearing into labor and sex trafficking. The speaker's research indicates the federal government knowingly facilitated these criminal acts.

A 17 year old migrant died in US custody this week. Child died yesterday in border patrol custody. Migrant children who come to The US without their parents here are working twelve hour shifts or more at factories even though it violates child labor laws. Along the southern border, you see thousands of these wristbands. These are children being sold into sex slavery, and you don't even know what they are. So now approaches a 100,000 children according to public reports. A 100,000 children lost by your department and the Biden administration. lawmakers urging the Biden administration to provide explanations for the disappearance of 85,000 migrant children. Migrant children sold in to labor trafficking and sex trafficking. At least five HHS staff members said they were pushed out after raising concerns about child sick safety.

The speaker criticizes the homeland security team for not addressing the broken system and not caring enough to find solutions. They express frustration with the lack of response from Secretary Becerra regarding the whereabouts of 85,000 children and accuse the committee of prioritizing open borders over the safety of these children. The speaker questions the lack of vetting and FBI checks for sponsors and mentions two whistleblowers who were fired. They accuse the office of refugee resettlement of neglecting their responsibility to protect the children and question why they accepted the job if they won't do it properly. The speaker concludes by expressing disappointment in the lack of concern for the children's well-being.

During a hearing, Senator questions Mr. Morant from Homeland Security about the number of non-American citizens who have entered the country illegally or claimed asylum since President Biden took office. Mr. Morant and others admit they do not know the exact numbers. The Senator suggests there may be around 8 million individuals, with potentially half of them being children. However, the exact figures remain unknown. The Senator continues to inquire about how many of these individuals are still in the country, how many have claimed asylum but failed to attend their hearings, and how many have been deported. No one has the answers to these questions.

I led an effort to reunite children separated from their parents due to the family separation policy. I've introduced measures like the Keep Families Together Act to limit separations and help reunite affected children. The Trump administration had a zero tolerance policy, not a separation policy. I'm concerned about over 300,000 missing children during the Biden administration and the potential victimization they face. While I acknowledge the importance of keeping families together, I also emphasize the need to find these missing children. My focus will be on reuniting families while upholding the law and ensuring children's safety from trafficking and drug issues. I appreciate your commitment to this effort. Thank you.

HHS, under the current administration, has ended its role as the principal vector for child trafficking in the U.S. According to the speaker, during the Biden administration, HHS became a collaborator in child trafficking and slavery. The speaker claims the administration is aggressively trying to find the 300,000 children that were lost by the Biden administration.

Under the current administration, 325,000 migrant children are missing. This number could fill California's largest stadium five or six times. It is claimed that many of these children are dead, and many are sex slaves or slaves of a different nature.

We have lost track of 500,000 children who had sponsors in this country. We don't know if they are victims of child labor, exploitation, or other crimes. This situation highlights a hypocrisy among those who claim to protect vulnerable individuals, yet overlook these innocent children. My commitment is to support and protect victims of crime, especially children. I am focused on ensuring their safety, and I will not try to convince those who do not understand this priority. The fact remains that we do not know where these 500,000 children are right now.

Let me be clear, our zero tolerance policy is about saving lives. We started prosecuting those who break the law and endanger children, and it worked, the numbers went down. It's unfortunate that families were separated, but this also happens to American families every day when a child can't go to jail with a parent. If you want to talk about family separation, under Joe Biden, half a million children were trafficked in this country. They can't even find 300,000 of them. That's separation. President Trump is committed to finding these children and saving them, as many are in forced labor or sex slavery. We're going to save them.

We have 500,000 children with sponsors in this country that we can't locate. We don't know if they're being subjected to child labor, sexual exploitation, or other crimes. This situation highlights a hypocrisy among those who claim to protect victims, especially innocent children. My commitment is to support and safeguard these vulnerable individuals, and I won't waste time convincing those who don't understand this. My priority has always been safety, and it's alarming that we currently have no idea where these 500,000 children are.

Today, we discuss how the Biden administration's open border policy aids drug and human traffickers. Despite warnings and evidence, little action has been taken to address the issue. Whistleblowers have revealed that unaccompanied migrant children are being handed over to criminals, including sex traffickers. Over 85,000 children are unaccounted for after being apprehended or released to sponsors. The administration's lack of response to these concerns shows neglect and a disregard for the safety of these vulnerable children. Action is needed to prevent further harm.

I appreciate the opportunity to address the issue of child trafficking exacerbated by current border policies. After 24 years in the Border Patrol, I witnessed the shift from secure borders under President Trump to the chaos under President Biden, who dismantled effective immigration policies on his first day. This has led to a surge in unaccompanied alien children (UACs), with over 550,000 expected to be lost by the end of this administration. In contrast, during Trump's last year, only 30,557 UACs were accounted for. The federal government has failed to track these children, with over 320,000 reported missing. My documentary reveals that the government is complicit in facilitating child sex trafficking. Immediate actions are needed: seal the borders, locate lost UACs, and investigate all agencies involved. The deliberate opening of borders constitutes treason. I welcome any questions to clarify these points.

What the Biden administration did with respect to child trafficking is one of the great crimes in human history. Over 500,000 children were illegally trafficked into the country under the previous administration. When we've gone and looked for these children, Martha, the addresses that the US government provided, in other words, the records that the government kept under Joe Biden, are all fake. Nobody ever checked if the addresses were real. Nobody ever checked if the sponsors were real. Nobody ever checked if they were really even relatives or parents or relations or safe. We we recently recovered a a young illegal alien, for example, who had been raped repeatedly by the adult male that the Biden administration handed to her. She was under constant video surveillance and was coached exactly what to say if an officer ever knocked on her door so that she would never be rescued.

545 children is compared to an entire dairy aisle to emphasize the number. Some people haven't made up their minds and may still vote for him. Perhaps we feel too guilty to understand the magnitude of the crime and our responsibility. Lawmakers are urging the Biden administration to provide explanations for the disappearance of 85,000 migrant children. Public reports indicate that the number of children lost by the department in the Biden administration is approaching 100,000. These migrant children are allegedly being sold into labor and sex trafficking. The Biden administration's policies are said to be enabling a child labor and sex trafficking problem.

85,000 children who crossed the border are missing. The current administration has taken no action to locate them. President Biden's refusal to address this issue is a danger to the safety of our country and the families seeking refuge.

These are two IDs from young children. Since the Biden administration's policies have allowed up to 20 million people to cross the border, there are now 400,000 missing children. The situation raises serious concerns about their safety, particularly regarding potential involvement in sex trafficking. This issue is critical and needs urgent attention, as it does not reflect the values of America.

"We have 500,000 children who had sponsors in this country that we can't find." "We can't find them." "We don't know if they're doing child labor." "We don't know if they're doing sex crimes." "We don't know if they're being exploited." "500,000 children." "There's a level of hypocrisy that everyone that states they wanna protect everyone but innocent individuals who are victims of crimes and children." "I wanna and protect children and innocent people that are victims of crime." "And those who don't understand that, it's not up to me to try to convince them." "I know what my job is, my goal is, and I was clear of that while running and when I became mayor." "Safety means everything to me." "500,000 children, we don't know where they are right now in this country."

The speaker criticizes the current system for losing track of 85,000 children. They dismiss claims of an infant seeking asylum as absurd. They highlight the increase in unaccompanied children since Democrats took charge, with only a blip during Republican leadership. They emphasize the need to reunite children with their families and bring them to a port of entry for proper care. The speaker expresses frustration with colleagues asking about 1,000 children not being reunited, questioning the whereabouts of the 85,000 children under the Biden administration.

The speaker stated to the committee that the Biden administration let unaccompanied minors into the country without keeping track of them. The administration provided these children with a hotline to call if they had trouble with their sponsor families. The speaker claimed that 65,000 calls to this hotline, which was designated to protect these children, went unanswered.

In the past three years, the number of unaccompanied children encountered at the border has dramatically increased. In 2020, there were 19,657, while in 2021, it rose to 140,000, and in 2022, it reached 149,000. In 2023, there were 131,000. The cause of this surge is unclear, but it is evident that something is driving more people to our borders. We need to find a balanced solution that reflects our values and brings order to the border. It is crucial to treat these children as real human beings and provide them with protection and assistance. However, our current system may not be equipped to handle the increasing numbers and ensure their well-being.

HHS, under the current administration, has ended its role as the principal vector for child trafficking in the U.S. According to the speaker, during the Biden administration, HHS became a collaborator in child trafficking and slavery. The speaker claims the administration is aggressively working to find the 300,000 children allegedly lost by the Biden administration.

We need more resources to address the crisis of unaccompanied migrant children, which has escalated under the Biden administration. Over 526,000 unaccompanied children have crossed the border since 2021, with many released to sponsors without proper vetting, leading to exploitation and trafficking. The Office of Refugee Resettlement's budget for unaccompanied children reached $6.9 billion in 2023, yet significant mismanagement has resulted in tens of thousands of children going missing or being placed in dangerous situations. Reports indicate that many children are forced into labor or unsafe conditions after being released. The administration prioritized speed over safety, failing to protect vulnerable children from further victimization. This situation represents a monumental failure that requires urgent attention and accountability.
