So, About Those Missing Children
It isn't hopeless and yes, you can help.
No one knows for certain how many unaccompanied minors crossed Kamala’s porous border, but the numbers range from 300,000 to 500,000. That’s a big spread, but you should accept that this is based on what they think they know, and they don’t know what they don’t know. How many more were trafficked without eyes on? We know the cartels traffic women and children, but the figure is likely much larger.
It’s a huge problem, and government PR should always be taken with a grain of salt, but,
“Secretary Noem is leading efforts to rescue and stop the exploitation of the 450,000 unaccompanied children the Biden administration lost or placed with unvetted sponsors. Many of the children who came across the border unaccompanied were allowed to be placed with sponsors who were smugglers and sex traffickers.
DHS reports that it has located over 24,000 of these kids to date (Nov 14, 2025), and continues to search as part of multiple interagency operations aligned with ICE, US Marshals, and others.
“We’ve jumpstarted our efforts to rescue children who were victims of sex and labor trafficking by working with our state and local law enforcement partners to locate these children. President Trump and Secretary Noem are laser-focused on protecting children and will continue to work with federal, state, and local law enforcement to reunite children with their families.”
What does that mean, reunite them with their families?
The Trump administration is working to safely return to their home countries the unaccompanied illegal migrant children lost under the Biden administration, The Daily Signal has learned.
Hundreds of thousands of minors arrived at the southern border without a parent or a legal guardian under the Biden administration. The Trump administration has located 13,000 of those children, and now, the Office of Refugee Resettlement, a subagency of the Department of Health and Human Services, is working to reunite those children with their families in their home countries and find the rest of the missing minors.
“If their parents are outside the United States, we are going to look at repatriating them to their country,” John Fabbricatore, a senior adviser at the Office of Refugee Resettlement, told The Daily Signal.
That 13K figure is from early August, which means DHS and its agencies have located another 11,000 kids in the past three months, and the good news keeps pouring in.
U.S. Marshall operation has resulted in the rescue of 122 children in Florida, according to state Attorney General James Uthmeier.
The statewide rescue operation, “Operation Home for the Holidays,” was one of the largest child-recovery operations in U.S. history, Uthmeier said at a news conference on Monday.
It cannot be understated that the previous Democrat-run administration allowed these kids to be trafficked because it advanced a political goal. Flood blue states with warm bodies they could count in the census to shift congressional seats into Democrat hands.
We can’t know how many died, were raped, drugged, assaulted, or starved, be they foreign or domestic. Still, it was a price the left was willing to make everyone pay, including the costs of many millions of non-English speaking foreigners with no grasp of our traditions or cultures, straining and draining resources that could no longer be directed to Americans in need.
Absent proximity to any of that, many of us were likely dismissive. Sure, bad things happen over there. I’m working to feed my family and keep a roof over our heads. Sure, it’s sad, but what can I do? And if I do anything, will I get shouted down, doxxed, deplatformed, debanked, lose my job, or future opportunities - another facet of left-leaning politics that protects their evil.
We’re talking about children being trafficked. Used like baggage to get a pass into the interior. Those they actually lay eyes on are often placed with unvetted adults, and no one knows what happens to them after that.
Democrats did a lot of things while carping about rights and justice, but using children like this has to be one of the lowest things they could accept and ignore.
The Trump Administration is using its legal obligation to arrest criminals and traffickers and to deport anyone here illegally, to rescue the nearly half-million or more children the Biden Administration lost.
Fixing the economy isn’t the only thing that is going to take years to complete, and if we don’t keep Democrats out of power, the economy will go back to shit for good, and the trafficking of children as part of the displacement agenda will ramp back up.
It is something you can help fix.
Republicans aren’t perfect, no one is, but they aren’t using and discarding children to accumulate political power.
Vote the bastards out of office and keep them out.

Note: The original title had the word “millions” in it. While that may be true over time or across the globe, it didn’t really apply here, so I edited it out.
Thank you very much, Steve for speaking up for all those innocent children. It is extremely important that they get saved and helped.
