During a Senate Finance Committee hearing, Senator John Cornyn questioned Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra on the whereabouts of approximately 400,000 unaccompanied migrant children who have entered the United States during President Biden's term. Reports claim that thousands of these children are missing after being sent to 'shady' foster homes, with at least 85,000 migrant children confirmed missing. Secretary Becerra admitted to not having jurisdiction or knowledge of the children's current locations or the percentage of children placed in homes with individuals not legally present in the country. Criticism has been directed at Becerra and the administration for prioritizing speed over due diligence, resulting in a situation described as a human trafficking crisis.

It’s clear that @SecBecerra doesn’t give a ripping flip about the 85,000 migrant children who have gone missing under HHS’s care. https://t.co/TIo4nrnfcp
