As if the previous administration’s indifferent approach to our borders wasn’t problematic enough, we are now discovering the sheer number of unaccompanied minors who crossed into our country during the Biden administration. Alarmingly, thousands of reports concerning these children have been left unaddressed, leaving us uncertain about the whereabouts of many of these youngsters.

The X post continues:
…unveils thousands of alarming reports that were flagged in the Biden-Harris administration’s unaccompanied alien children (UC) program but were not resolved, including instances pointing to potential trafficking and fraudulent activities.
The Trump administration is now working to process 65,605 reports concerning migrant children, which were ignored or dismissed during the previous administration. These reports include 56,591 notifications of concern, 7,346 reports of human trafficking, and 1,688 fraud leads. In a little over 100 days, the Trump administration has processed over 28 percent of the Biden-Harris backlog, resulting in 528 investigative leads, 36 investigations accepted for prosecution by U.S. Attorneys, seven indictments, 25 arrest warrants, 11 arrests, and three convictions.
“My oversight exposed the Biden-Harris administration for placing unaccompanied migrant children with dangerous sponsors and actively obstructing law enforcement and Congress’ efforts to rescue vulnerable kids. I applaud the Trump administration for its swift action to protect unaccompanied migrant children by addressing the concerning reports the Biden-Harris administration shelved,” Grassley said. “I look forward to working with Secretary Kennedy to ensure justice is served.”

This is another failure in a litany of failures of the Biden administration. And, as all of us here at RedState have been observing since January 20th, all we needed to fix a lot of this was a new president.
