Trump administration tracks down 7,500 unaccompanied children who crossed border

The Trump administration has made contact with 7,500 unaccompanied minors who were deemed untraceable after they crossed the U.S.-Mexico border alone and were released into the United States, according to the White House.

Since the start of the year, the government has reached out to more than 7,500 unaccompanied immigrant children through the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement, the federal agency that detains and places each child with an adult sponsor in the U.S. after they cross the border, the White House told the Washington Examiner.

The Trump administration contacted the children and their sponsors in-person at their residence or through a site visit. The 7,500 children were originally lost because of incomplete or inaccurate contact information originally provided at the time of their release to the HHS.

Of the 7,500 contacted, 100 of those children were reached by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) investigators who found the children through federal investigations into criminal matters where some of the children were determined to be victims.

The contacts represent a significant step forward for Trump, who claimed in July that 300,000 children who came over the border alone were "missing" and that 10,000 children had been found. However, Trump's descriptions have conflated two different immigrant child populations.

By the end of the Biden administration, more than 500,000 children had come over the border without a parent, a staggering figure that far outpaced any other previous administration.

100 found in criminal matters.

More information on the rest is needed.

So Trump is getting families of “migrants” back together, not tearing them apart.

As part of a 10-month investigation Scripps News uncovered that every year, thousands of migrant children disappear from their homes shortly after arriving in the US.

But says there is “no clear local, state or federal government agency” taking responsibility for searching for many of these missing ...Apr 2, 2024


This is so bogus-——the kids arent missing, they are loaned out, passed around to other migrants. to be used in lucrative scams to get tax dollars from S/S and hefty disability checks.

Vindictive Biden overturned Trump’s order to get the DNA of these so-called “needy” families, to make sure the kids are really theirs.

A common practice by these greedy illegals is getting a crooked doctor to say a kid’s autistic b/c they get hefty SS tax paid benefits every month for the kid.

The maximum possible disability benefit for autism in 2024 is $943 per month for SSI and about $3,822 per month for SSDI. These maximums apply regardless of what condition you have or whether you apply with one condition or multiple. The actual amount received depends on specific circumstances. (Dec 7, 2023)

Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a key benefit for children under 16 living with disability, including autism.

It is assessed according to care needs, and a diagnosis is not required to make a claim. DLA helps cover the extra costs of raising a child with a disability. (Jan 30, 2024)

And it’s a sure bet they “invent their family circumstances.”


Plus senior illegals are draining the system, collecting without working a day here, not having put a dime into the system.

The people clutching pearls over Epstein abusing children years ago are silent on the 300,000 children currently enslaved or worse thanks to Biden.
