Yes or no is our current system a magnet To kids I do not believe it is you don't Believe it's a magnet no well that's the Problem I would note that Or my child one of the 15 percent Even if I take The chairman or the ranking member I Should say it as word I would be pretty Frustrated About your child being lost if you take Your kids to school and they said well We kept up with 85 percent of them Boy Would you feel good about the education System Because what about those other 15 Percent of kids even if you take The ranking member at his word I've got a foia request here from Judicial Watch from this is now six Years dated That has a laundry list of incidents put Out by Orr the refuel request Detailing Laundry list of abuses of children Uh this one Young girl reported she was Inappropriately Touched by an unknown Male immigrant in the group after Entering the U.S another one several Appeals reported to staff they were uh On you know inappropriately touched Another one where somebody paid money to Have sex with or another I just go down
The list Of hundreds of these examples And somehow in the greatest country in The history of the world the most Powerful country in the history of the World we think this is a system That we should defend It blows my mind that my colleagues and Other side of that I want to defend A system of laws that allows this to Occur to children and then brush away That Maga extremist New York Times for Daring to point out that 85 000 kids Aren't being Found from the first Contact my Colleagues on the side of the aisle say Oh okay we just didn't get him on that First call I would act I would ask each of the Witnesses very quickly Do you think that the data is showing That since President Biden took office That 356 665 unaccompanied Alien Children Have crossed the southern border that we Know of And been placed in HHS custody Is a system that attracts that number of Children unaccompanied to come across Our border to be exploited by cartels To be put into the sex trafficking trade To be put into the slave labor trade to Be sexually abused to die on ranches in South Texas to drown in the Rio Grande
