In a shocking revelation, Senator Chuck Grassley has unveiled that the Biden administration has placed over 10,000 migrant 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren into unvetted homes without conducting necessary background checks or home studies. This alarming report raises serious concerns about the safety and welfare of thousands of vulnerable 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren who have crossed the border alone.
Documents released by Grassley reveal that between January 2021 and September 2022, more than 11,400 unaccompanied minors were assigned to sponsors who were neither their parents nor legal guardians. Disturbingly, home studies—critical assessments meant to ensure a safe environment—were neglected for nearly 79,000 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren under the age of 12. This oversight not only violates established protocols but also poses a significant risk of human trafficking and abuse.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) reported caring for 468,000 unaccompanied 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren during this period, with many arriving from Central American countries like Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. Grassley emphasized that these failures are part of a broader issue, highlighting that 65,000 notices of concern regarding missing 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and potential victimization have gone unaddressed.
As the Biden administration faces mounting scrutiny over its immigration policies, the implications of these findings are dire. Critics are demanding accountability and urgent reforms to protect these at-risk 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. Grassley’s revelations have ignited a firestorm of debate, prompting calls for immediate action to rectify these grave oversights.
With the safety of thousands of 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren hanging in the balance, the urgency for a thorough investigation and comprehensive reform has never been more critical. The nation watches closely as this story unfolds, demanding answers and solutions to prevent further exploitation of vulnerable lives.
