When President Trump first brought the issue of America’s decades-old neglected immigration system to light in 2015—the Left laughed at him.
No one is laughing now, after the demonstrated proof of years of flagrant corruption and abuse.

The swamp’s shocking (and willful) neglect of the border has resulted in untold suffering for millions of Americans—and millions of un-Americans.
The latest government report confirms what many have long suspected:
[F]ederal agencies have completely lost control
of the situation at our southern border.
From Just The News:
‘After meeting with more than 140 individuals from DHS and other Federal agencies, we determined U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cannot effectively monitor the location and status of all unaccompanied alien children (UACs) once released or transferred from Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) custody,’ the report reads.
The Department of Homeland Security Inspector General recently released a damning report showing that between 2019 and 2023, the government transferred more than 448,000 unaccompanied minors to Health and Human Services custody. Most were then released to sponsors, but:
[O]ver 31,000 of these children were sent
to addresses that were blank, missing
apartment numbers, or otherwise incomplete.
Let that sink in. The federal government cannot tell We the People where 31,000 children are. That is roughly the population of a small city—just gone.
And worse yet, the report also revealed ICE failed to issue Notices to Appear (NTAs) to more than 233,000 unaccompanied children. Without these notices, these kids never received court dates in our immigration system. Of those who did receive court dates, over 43,000 never showed up.
The Inspector General did not mince words about the dangers:
Without an ability to monitor the location and status of UACs, ICE is unable to facilitate court appearances and has no assurance UACs are safe from trafficking, exploitation, forced labor, or involvement in criminal activities that pose a risk to local communities.
This is not simply bureaucratic bungling—this is a humanitarian catastrophe with real-world consequences for vulnerable children who were supposedly under government protection.
Did the Obama-Biden Regime lose track of tens of thousands of children or were their actions purposeful and intentional?
Representative Tony Gonzales (R-TX) put it bluntly:
The [Obiden Regime’s] total failure at the border had disastrous consequences, and it’s shameful that even innocent, unaccompanied children were caught in the crosshairs.
Yet where are the impassioned speeches from communist/globalist crime syndicate leaders who normally position themselves as champions of child welfare? Their silence is deafening. The same Regime that found resources to fly illegal aliens to destinations across America somehow could not keep basic records of children’s whereabouts.
It is impossible these lost children
were not nefariously trafficked children.
It is not incompetence that raises serious questions; what raises questions is the absence of indictments for crimes against humanity.
How many of these children fell victim to human trafficking? How many are being exploited for labor? How many have been pushed into gang activities? How many were outright tortured and killed for adrenochrome and/or body parts? We simply do not know—and obviously, neither does the federal government.
The federal agencies involved are pointing fingers at one another. ICE claims they were not always notified about sponsor locations by other agencies. The Inspector General acknowledged that staffing limitations hampered monitoring efforts. But these excuses ring hollow when children’s safety is at stake.
For four years, the Obama-Biden Regime maintained policies that encouraged a massive surge of unaccompanied minors at the border. They dismantled effective Trump-era policies while failing to create workable alternatives. The predictable result was a system overwhelmed to the point of collapse—with children paying the price.
And the Trump administration has inherited this catastrophic situation, thus they are faced with the monumental task of not only securing the border going forward but also trying to locate thousands of vulnerable children who have simply vanished into the void of bureaucratic incompetence.
