    Hundreds of volunteers from several federal law enforcement agencies are
    going through 65,000 calls to a federally funded Health and Human Services (HHS) hotline where people reported concerns about the treatment of unaccompanied alien children (UAC). The calls were all made during the
    Biden administration, when the minors were rushed away from the border to
    avoid TV images of children in cages. Most of the calls were from the
    minors themselves.

    At that time, the Biden administration was allowing children to be placed
    with almost anyone with minimal vetting. According to HHS whistleblower
    Tara Lee Rodas, �I thought I was going to help place children in loving
    homes. Instead, I discovered that children are being trafficked through a sophisticated network that begins with being recruited in their home
    country, smuggled to the U.S. border, and ends when ORR [Office of Refugee Resettlement] delivers a child to a sponsor � some sponsors are criminals
    and traffickers and members of Transnational Criminal Organizations."

    I wrote in 2024, "As the Biden administration was assuring Congress and
    the American people that the 150,000 unaccompanied minor children who
    entered the U.S. in 2021-22 were placed with people who were 'fully
    vetted,' the agency was simply trying to prevent what happened when the
    mass of humanity overwhelmed border facilities."

    The Associated Press reported that HHS "also failed to provide proof it
    had conducted basic safety checks � like background checks or address
    checks � in 16% of the cases, the agency watchdog found."

    Incredible.

    And now it appears that the Biden administration did nothing for up to
    65,000 UACs who called a hotline for help.

    The Free Press:

    According to HHS, the backlog of calls was discovered in early February,
    and the effort to follow up and investigate began a few weeks later, even
    for immigrants who were minors when they entered the U.S. but have since
    turned 18 and thus are no longer part of ORR�s system.

    The hotline calls now being traced piled up for about three years during
    the Biden administration, according to Trump administration officials.
    About half a million children crossed the border alone during those three years, and reports from federal watchdog agencies and whistleblower
    testimony indicated that some children were placed with improperly vetted sponsors. The most serious examples included children who wound up with sponsors who had ties to MS-13 gang members or human traffickers.

    �We're working long hours and clearing up about 1,000 calls per day,� said
    John Fabbricatore, an Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) senior adviser
    who began work in May. �We�ve come across serious cases in which children
    were calling in for help, saying that they were being raped. They were in
    very bad situations.�

    The Free Press reported last year that forced labor and prostitution among
    UACs reached record highs, tripling under President Biden.

    More than 400 sponsors have been arrested so far, including the sponsor of
    two girls who were rescued in June. They entered the U.S. in 2023 when
    they were 14 and 16 years old, and were placed with a sponsor who forced
    them to work in a plastics factory in Chicago and held them in debt
    bondage.

    A call received by the hotline in April of this year said that three
    Honduran teenagers who crossed the border in May 2023 were being
    trafficked by their sponsor, who was a distant relative. Law enforcement officials who responded to the report found them living in squalid
    conditions in a New Jersey apartment and showing signs of physical and
    sexual abuse. They lacked food and were not attending school. The sponsor
    was arrested, and the teenagers are awaiting foster-care placement,
    according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

    The 400 sponsor arrests are the tip of the iceberg, especially when you consider the involvement of transnational gangs like MS-13 and other
    notorious child trafficking outfits.

    The scary part is that no one knows the full extent of the Biden administration's politically motivated campaign to desperately hide the
    UACs and keep them off America's TV screens.

    �DHS is leading efforts to conduct welfare checks on these children to
    ensure that they are safe and not being exploited,� said Tricia
    McLaughlin, a DHS assistant secretary.

    The fact that the Biden administration allowed the backlog of calls
    concerning the safety of UACs to reach 65,000 is extreme negligence
    bordering on depraved indifference. Meanwhile, offenses worse than
    anything that allegedly happened during Trump's first term are getting a
    free pass from America's gatekeepers.


    --
    November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
    forward to America being great again.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
    / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer liberal democrat donors.
