The Office of Inspector General (OIG), a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), published a report this week revealing that over 290,000 undocumented immigrant children who entered the country are currently untraceable, with their whereabouts unknown. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) has attributed responsibility for this situation to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Due to the Biden administration’s relaxed border policies and ongoing political disputes over legislation to secure the borders, human traffickers have been able to successfully smuggle in undocumented migrant children, who are subsequently being transported to unknown destinations and often disappearing without a trace.
“It is not hyperbole when I say that the Biden-Harris administration is the final leg of a global human trafficking network,” Sen. Cruz tweeted. “290,000 children who crossed the border are currently unaccounted for.”
“ICE has no way of knowing if the children are being exploited, forced into sex-work, or joining gangs. We wouldn’t tolerate any foreign nation moving hundreds of thousands of children into bondage, and we shouldn’t tolerate it here. We should demand more from the Biden-Harris administration.”

Blaming only Biden-Harris for this atrocity is narrow-minded, as human trafficking, especially child trafficking, has been occurring under both Democrat and Republican administrations for many years. Although the situation has likely deteriorated under Biden, Senator Cruz’s assertion that Biden-Harris symbolizes the final stronghold of child traffickers may have some validity.
There seems to be a belief that Donald Trump will secure another term and eradicate the remaining traces of human trafficking along the U.S. southern border with Mexico. Some individuals, including Sen. Cruz, have confidence that Trump will make this a reality.
“These kids deserve justice,” wrote someone on X. “We deserve to have a government that won’t be a part of child trafficking.”
Another told Sen. Cruz that many Americans have been warning about the child trafficking problem for years, but that only in recent months are some politicians choosing to take notice.
“Just like the ‘we have 12 million illegals here’ figure here in the USA when we know its [sic] actually 35-40 million, now add Biden’s 20 million newcomers.
Another warned that no matter who is in office, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as long as it exists will continue trafficking not just children but also guns across the southern border.
“I am beyond sick and tired of politicians constantly voicing their concerns about the serious issues our country is grappling with on social media,” said another to Sen. Cruz. “It’s time for action, not just words. Taxpayers don’t fund your lavish lifestyles so that you can spend all your time jaw-jacking on X. Get to work, man.”
Another asked Sen. Cruz what his plan is to address the problem regardless of who wins the White House.
“Are we going to talk about it or is anyone actually going to be held accountable?” this person asked. “The federal government is on autopilot. POTUS is relaxing on another vacation. Border Czar is ducking interviews and pressers. We’ll wait …”
