U.S. Rep. Dale Strong (R-Monrovia) blasted the Biden-Harris administration border policies Tuesday for causing a crisis for unaccompanied alien minors in the U.S.
Strong, who sits on the House Homeland Security Committee, made the comment in response to what he heard during a hearing on “Trafficked, Exploited, and Missing: Migrant Children Victims of the Biden-Harris Administration.”
“Just left a [Homeland GOP] Subcommittee hearing on trafficked, exploited, and missing migrant children under the Biden-Harris Administration,” Strong said on X. “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have failed countless unaccompanied alien minors, and their reckless border policies are to blame.”

The hearing included testimony from witnesses and whistleblowers within the administration who are sounding the alarms about the issue.
“Inside this invasion, the unspoken evil of child trafficking and, more specifically, child sex trafficking, has flourished. At the end of this current administration, the number of children trafficked will have grown to over 550,000 UACs. This horrific number of children will have been arrested, released into America and then lost,” J.J. Carrell Retired Deputy Patrol Agent in Charge U.S. Border Patrol testified at the hearing.
Earlier this year, the Inspector General for the Dept. of Homeland Security issued a report revealing that over 290,000 illegal immigrant children in the U.S. were unaccounted for by officials.
Where are these children and what kind of circumstances and situations are they in? This current administration takes the “out of sight, out of mind” approach. https://t.co/2ZPT7jonkB
