The Biden-Harris government opened the border and told the world, come in! An extraordinary number of unaccompanied minors poured in with an almost certain chance to stay in the US for good. Those children were placed with relatives, unrelated relatives, self-declared relatives, and even plain abusers.
Official reports concluded that about 85,000 alien children who crossed the border illegally during the Biden-Harris administration are unaccounted for. In plain language, nobody knows where those children are at this moment. Indeed, they are not in school; otherwise, tracing them would have been straightforward. Where are they? What are they doing? What are they making them do? Who knows? Who cares?
Opening the border for the world to pour in may, at the surface, look like a commendable act of compassion. Still, it comes with unimaginable pain for the most vulnerable, the abandoned, unaccompanied children.
Shame on us.
