Mayorkas is responsible for a wide range of things. At the top of the list is the border of the United States. DHS manages the Immigration and Customs Enforcement department and the Border patrol. I don\u2019t have to go over all the things that have happened along the border. I\u2019ve already done so.<\/p>\n
One of the worst things going on is the trafficking of children by the Cartels<\/a>. The Cartels have smuggled tens of thousands of children over the border. In one of the major scandals, some 80,000 children and teens have been \u201cLost\u201d by DHS. You would think that stopping child traffickers would be a high priority for the DHS. You would be mistaken. Here are the details from the Daily Wire<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said on Sunday that he is \u201caware of reports of children being trafficked,\u201d but that stopping it is \u201coutside the responsibility of the Department of Homeland Security.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n More than half a million illegal immigrant children have been knowingly let into the country in recent years \u2014 about 120,000 a year \u2014 under a policy shielding \u201cunaccompanied alien children.\u201d The New York Times found that one-third could not be located thirty days later. <\/b><\/p>\n When the news came out on all the missing children, most people who were aware of it were outraged. Most of the Democrat Propaganda Corps basically said nothing or nothing much about it and then flushed it down the memory hole. However, some of the Alternative Media sites started digging into this. They and some members of Congress started asking pointed questions of Mayorkas. His response?<\/p>\n Mayorkas shrugged aside the high numbers of children that disappear, saying some could just be illegal immigrants refusing to cooperate with the conditions they agreed to. \u201cIndividuals do not comply with the reporting obligations, or otherwise, I think it is inaccurate to say that all of them are trafficked or victimized,\u201d he said<\/a> on Face the Nation. <\/b><\/p>\n Mayorkas declined to take responsibility despite his agency\u2019s official watchdog, the DHS inspector general, in August, issuing a report saying Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a division of DHS, \u201cmust take immediate action<\/a> to ensure the safety of UCs residing in the United States. \u2026 Without an ability to monitor the location and status of UCs, ICE has no assurance UCs are safe from trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n Mayorkas flat out doesn\u2019t care. It does make one wonder about certain conspiracy theories that have been floating around since Dementia Joe was installed into the White House in 2021 regarding Democrats and what they might be doing with children brought into the country illegally.<\/p>\n It said DHS had not been able to find, or simply didn\u2019t bother trying to find, about 300,000 children to give them court papers. <\/b><\/p>\n I suspect it\u2019s the latter. They flat out couldn\u2019t be bothered to look for these children.<\/p>\n In other cases, they found the children, and they appeared to be being exploited, but DHS did nothing. Agents \u201chad identified UCs in unsafe conditions but were unable to intervene.<\/b><\/p>\n I suspect they were flat out told to stand down. This is probably one of the reasons so many ICE and Border Patrol agents were thinking about either resigning or retiring prior to the 2024 election. Considering one of the planks in the Democrat Party Platform, I can see why they were growing so frustrated.<\/p>\n The loophole that gives preferential treatment to children if they come to the border alone\u2014the preservation of which was a plank in the 2024 Democrat platform\u2014has incentivized the separation of families, with children leaving their families behind and making the perilous journey with coyotes.<\/strong><\/p>\n And being unescorted by family members, they are the perfect targets to be \u201cDisappeared\u201d once they\u2019re across the border. When they are picked up by the Border Patrol or ICE, they are handed over to the Department of Health and Human Services. HHS then hands them over to \u201cSponsors,\u201d most of whom are also illegal aliens, and most of them have no relationship to the child they\u2019ve been assigned to. You would think that since HHS is now handling things, they would also be looking out for these children. Wrong again!<\/p>\n Remarkably, the head of Joe Biden\u2019s HHS, Xavier Becerra, has repeatedly said that what happens to the children after they are released to sponsors is not his responsibility, either. \u201cOur responsibility is to provide care while they were in our custody,\u201d he told Congress in November. <\/b><\/p>\n HHS never meets the sponsors before releasing the children to them, instead verifying their identities only by having them text screenshots of foreign IDs via WhatsApp, then paying a transportation contractor to take the children to them. Its only follow-up was a call thirty days later, at which point one-third of the sponsors would not answer or refused to put the child on the phone, according<\/a> to The New York Times. The Times found that many of the children were being forced to work in dangerous factories, and there is evidence that others have been sold into the sex trade. <\/b><\/p>\n If anyone has dealt with state level Child Protective Services and how they deal with children in the foster care system, the one thing the CPS is pretty much required to do is check in on the foster parents on a regular basis. I used to work with a woman who was a foster parent and she was always talking about how they worked with the state\u2019s child services department. She also talked about what she and her husband had to go through to be certified as foster parents. There have been problems in the past with various State CPS departments, but to my knowledge, nothing like what HHS has done.<\/p>\n Rep. Tom McClintock (R-California) lashed out at Becerra at the November hearing, saying, \u201cYou have dropped them off at a sponsor\u2019s house, you now can\u2019t get a hold of them \u2026 You shrug your shoulders and then send another batch of kids out. That\u2019s frightening to me.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
