Tom Homan on Missing Children and Border Security Failures Under Biden

Missing Children Crisis at the Border

• 🚨 Hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children have crossed the border during the Biden administration and subsequently gone missing.
• 💔 In a disturbing case, smugglers posed as parents, using marijuana gummies to sedate children as young as 5 to 13 years old to facilitate their passage.
• 💰 These children are viewed as "currency to the criminals", with smugglers charging up to $900 per child.
• ⚠️ At least one child required hospitalization due to the sedatives used.

Trump Administration's Efforts to Find Missing Children

• 🎯 The Trump administration prioritized finding over 300,000 missing children, locating just under 25,000 so far.
• 🔍 Many children were found in dire situations, including sex trafficking, forced labor, and abuse, with 27 having tragically died.
• 🤝 The administration is committed to continuing the search until every lead is exhausted.

Criticism of Biden Administration's Border Policies

• 📉 Tom Homan criticizes the Biden administration for releasing over 1,700 children under 14 to unvetted sponsors without home studies.
• 🚫 The administration is accused of stopping DNA testing, a practice used by the Trump administration to verify familial relationships.
• ⏱️ A focus on "quick release" of children from government custody is seen as a way to avoid overcrowding and falsely claim border security.

Border Security and Immigration Concerns

• 🗣️ Former Border Patrol Chief Chris Clem testified that the safest point for children during their journey was often in the hands of Border Patrol.
• 🏠 The vetting process for sponsors was described as "abysmal" under the current administration.
• 🌐 Addresses for sponsors have been found to be as unreliable as churches, grocery stores, parking lots, and car washes, highlighting the difficulty in locating these children.
• 🇺🇸 Tom Homan asserts that the Trump administration achieved the most secure border in history in just seven weeks, a feat he claims Biden could not or would not accomplish in four years.
