Chad Wolf, who once held the title of Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, recently made waves while discussing the current state of the nation’s immigration policies. Appearing on CNN, Wolf pointed out that the incoming Trump administration might need to launch an extensive initiative to track down the tens of thousands of children that seem to have vanished under the watch of the Biden-Harris team.
The shocking statistic of 85,000 missing kids stems from a February 2023 report by The New York Times, which cast a glaring spotlight on the failures of the current administration. Wolf highlighted this humongous number while responding to questions about the infamous family separation policy that characterized the previous Trump administration’s handling of immigration. Apparently, some in the media still can’t wrap their heads around how a government can mess up something as critical as keeping track of kids.
During the interview, CNN’s own Jim Acosta, never one to back down from a hotly debated topic, asked whether the prior administration’s approach could have been less harmful to families. Wolf shot back, pointing out that while families were kept together in many cases, over 330,000 children have gone missing since the Biden administration took over. He argued that such staggering numbers signal a crisis that needs urgent attention, hinting at a significant shortfall in the current administration’s ability to handle children’s welfare amid rampant illegal immigration.

The issue of illegal immigration has skyrocketed to the forefront of the 2024 presidential campaign, fueled by a slew of alarming incidents involving illegal immigrants. Notably, violent crimes have raised alarms, exemplified by the tragic murders of individuals like Rachel Morin and Laken Riley. Moreover, Springfield, Ohio, has seen an overwhelming influx of over 20,000 Haitian migrants, raising concerns about public safety and resource management.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the figures tell a troubling story, with over 7.4 million illegal immigrants recorded since the start of fiscal year 2021. Combining these data points makes it clear that the ramifications of current immigration policies extend far beyond mere numbers. Politicians need to accept responsibility; when there are children at risk, ducks need to be in a row, or else chaos reigns. True solutions, as proposed by Wolf, must prioritize the safety and well-being of those kids, rather than turning a blind eye to the disaster unfolding at the border.
