of new york times co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy. fox & friends weekendregarding President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris' Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) losing contact with tens of thousands of unaccompanied alien children (UAC) released into the United States. Cited the report.
In February 2023, new york times issued bomb reportrevealed that the Biden-Harris administration was opening up UAC to U.S. adult sponsors, the majority of whom are not biological parents, as soon as possible.
the result, times It found that HHS officials were “unable to contact more than 85,000 children” after they were released to adult sponsors in the United States.
of times Reported:
However, as the number of children increases, President Biden has increased demands on officials to quickly remove children from shelters and release them to adults. Caseworkers say they are expediting the screening of sponsors. [Emphasis added]
HHS checks in on all minors by phone one month after they begin living with a sponsor, but over the past two years, data obtained by the Times shows. The agency was unable to contact more than 85,000 children. Overall, government agencies immediately lost contact with one-third of migrant children.
[Emphasis added]
Late last week, times attacked Rachel Campos-Duffy cited their report in an interview with former President Donald Trump in June. In an interview, Campos-Duffy omitted the Times report and called the UACs “lost.”
“Will you commit to finding those children?” Campos-Duffy asked Trump.
of times We argue that Campos-Duffy's characterization of UAC as “lost” is inaccurate. times It does not report that children have gone “missing,” but it does report that they are vulnerable to exploitative and illegal working conditions. ”
Fox News defended Campos-Duffy, saying HHS' use of the word “lost” to describe a UAC it could not contact after she was released to an adult sponsor was “semantic.” “It's a matter of” and nothing more.
In August, the Biden-Harris administration's decision to release UACs to adult sponsors as soon as possible spurred an explosion in labor and sex trafficking among such migrant children. There is increasing evidence that there is.
As a result of the Biden-Harris policy, many UACs are “at risk of human trafficking, exploitation, and forced labor” in the United States, according to a report from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General (IG). .
Last October, Office of Refugee Resettlement Director Robin Dunn Marcos acknowledged that background checks on adult sponsors are done in “some cases,” but not all. Dan Marcos said government agencies do not conduct home visits in all cases to check for UACs.
February, HHS IG Christi Grimm published The report found that in 22 percent of incidents, authorities did not conduct adequate and secure follow-up calls to check with UACs released to U.S. adult sponsors.
In fiscal year 2023, the Department of Labor: 88 percent Last year, around 6,000 children, many of them UACs, were found illegally engaged in cruel and often life-threatening work.
Last April, an HHS whistleblower testified before Congress that HHS facilitates a “multi-billion dollar child trafficking operation,” with large numbers of UACs being released to uninvestigated adult sponsors. he warned.
