“Today I rise with grave concerns over another border record shattered by this administration. We know that the border crisis has national security consequences and also humanitarian consequences. Just recently, the Washington Examiner reported that under the Biden administration, nearly half a million migrant children arrived in the United States without a parent. The administration's open-border policies are incentivizing parents to send their children on the dangerous journey to the United States, oftentimes putting them in the hands of ruthless drug cartels and human smugglers. Sadly, due to the lack of oversight and protection by the Department of Health and Human Services, many of these innocent children end up in sickening situations where they are trafficked, forced to work in unsafe conditions, or even worse. As an immigrant myself who moved to the United States as a young boy and now a father of six, this breaks my heart. We must protect these vulnerable children and treat them with the care they deserve. There is nothing fair, humane, or compassionate about this. These children are sent to the U.S. in search of opportunity and a better life but instead end up in harm's way. This is yet another terrible consequence of the historic crisis at our border. The administration's failure to enforce the laws puts migrant children in danger while enriching cartels and criminal organizations that profit from their suffering.…”
