A shocking report from the Senate regarding the fate of hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied minors who entered the US illegally.
The government agency responsible for settling the children with sponsors and groups failed to adequately vet them. The result is that an unknown number of illegal alien children were placed with human traffickers.
The Obama administration failed to protect thousands of Central American children who have flooded across the U.S. border since 2011, leaving them vulnerable to traffickers and to abuses at the hands of government-approved caretakers, a Senate investigation has found.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement, an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services, failed to do proper background checks of adults who claimed the children, allowed sponsors to take custody of multiple unrelated children, and regularly placed children in homes without visiting the locations, according to a 56-page investigative report released Thursday.
And once the children left federally funded shelters, the report said, the agency permitted their adult sponsors to prevent caseworkers from providing them post-release services.
Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) initiated the six-month investigation after several Guatemalan teens were found in a dilapidated trailer park near Marion, Ohio, where they were being held captive by traffickers and forced to work at a local egg farm. The boys were among more than 125,000 unaccompanied minors who have surged into the United States since 2011, fleeing violence and unrest in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
It is intolerable that human trafficking — modern-day slavery — could occur in our own backyard,” Portman said in a written statement. “What makes the Marion cases even more alarming is that a U.S. government agency was responsible for delivering some of the victims into the hands of their abusers.”

That’s terrbl. Like the walking guns.
End accepter being someone like one certain “J. Epstein” and a private island.
Wasn't Obama abused as a child?
Of course Obama did this - he would never have handed them over to Christians where they would be safest.
PING
this was done on purpose!
The administration is DIMs/LIBs...they get a pass. Pervert recruitment most likely.
From planned baby parts to planned lady parts - all for sale.
This administration is not just bad and inept, it is pure evil.
Or maybe they were shipped off to other countries to become ‘dancing boys’.
Distinct possibility.
“Failed to adequately vet” is the single phrase that best sums up the obama legacy, from the media’s stupefying failure to adequately vet him him 2008, to so many other failures by the administration to adequately vet, such as events in the MidEast, to vet the likelihood of an ISIS in rising, to adequately vet security for our diplomats in Libya, to vet tens of thousands of “refugees,” to adequately vet Cabinet officials, and on and on.
Failure to vet. Obama.
Sounds like Trump hit the nail again when he said they are incompetent.
Obama’s response: Hey, they’re only kids, they don’t vote or donate.
But, but...you can’t professionalize unless you federalize, right? /s
Well, good to see the same ‘vetting’ is done regardless of ‘refugee’ status or illegal alien invader.
Though I don’t condone, I have less sympathy for ANY ‘parent’ that would ditch their kids/send un-supervised to attempt to illegally cross our borders.
Am I to be *as* ‘outraged’ here as if they perished somewhere along the way/in the desert?
