ICYMI – The New York Times recently dropped a bombshell report on this administration.
If the report is accurate, the Biden administration has lost track of more than 85,000 children it has taken in from its open border policies.
Not only have they been lost, but the report goes on to say that many of these children have likely wound up in human trafficking schemes.
Don’t Know
Senator James Lankford (R-OK) started the grilling, asking Becerra about the report.
Becerra responded, “I have never heard that number of 85,000, I don’t know where it comes from and …so I would say it doesn’t sound at all to be realistic, and what we do is we try and follow up as best we can with these kids.
“Congress has given us certain authorities.
“Our authorities end when we have found a suitable sponsor to place that child with.
“We try and do some follow up but neither the child or the sponsor is actually obligated to follow up with us.”
When his time ran out, Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) tagged in to pick up right where he left off.
Becerra continued, “Those statistics you mentioned, as I said previously in regard to another question by one of your colleagues, those are unfamiliar to me.
“I have no idea where those statistics come from, if they’re based in reality or not.
“And we do everything we can to make sure any child, before we allow them to be released to a sponsor, that that sponsor has been vetted.
“The vast majority of these children end up with an immediate family member as a placement so some of those statistics that have been thrown out don’t seem to be based in fact and really would seem to be contrary to what we’ve done.”
Biden’s HHS Secretary, Becerra, said he does not know about 85,000 lost children due to Biden's border crisis.

So, when Trump was in office, these media reports were treated like Gospel and the entire left was up in arms.
Where is that outrage now and why are Democrats at least not questioning the administration on these reports?
Oh, that’s right, they are too busy trying to get grooming books put back in the library!
