President Trump is making headlines even before taking office, as a recent announcement has spurred Mexico into action against illegal immigration. Following the President’s assertion of a hefty 25% tariff on Mexican goods, unless they stop the flow of migrants into the United States, the Mexican government has decided it’s time to crack down on illegal crossings. According to reports, the immigration surge seen under President Biden is significant, with New York City currently grappling with about 600,000 undocumented immigrants. Of these, around 60,000 have been reported to have criminal records, and approximately 1,000 are believed to belong to the Tren de Aragua gang from Venezuela.
Amid this border chaos, New York City Mayor Eric Adams had a notable meeting with Tom Homan, the incoming border czar, where he didn’t hold back about the perceived hypocrisy within the Democratic Party regarding immigration. The Mayor pointed out a concerning fact: approximately 500,000 migrant children with sponsors are missing, raising serious concerns about their safety and well-being. The mainstream media has been quick to dismiss this shocking figure as merely a “paperwork problem,” but many are questioning how a “paperwork problem” results in the disappearance of half a million children.
The situation is dire. Images of young children being rescued by law enforcement expose a heartbreaking reality. Just recently, Texas troopers found a two-year-old girl alone in the back of a human smuggler’s car, demonstrating the life-threatening risks these children face. The stories of other youngsters wandering in the desert have become all too common, as the immense pressure on these vulnerable children grows daily. This isn’t just a statistical issue; behind every missing child is a genuine story of fear and uncertainty, often becoming victimized by human smugglers and gangs.
In sanctuary cities like New York, laws are in place that hinder law enforcement from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). These regulations prevent officers from asking individuals about their immigration status, making it even more challenging to catch criminals and protect the innocent. Several Democratic leaders continue to double down on their commitment to protect undocumented immigrants, often at the expense of public safety. They argue that creating fear among these communities harms everyone, while others see it as a blatant disregard for valid concerns over crime and safety.
As the numbers continue to grow and reports of missing children pile up, it’s hard to ignore the potential tragedy unfolding. Estimates suggest that anywhere from 300,000 to possibly even a million children might be unaccounted for, slipping through the cracks of a flawed system. With many kids falling prey to exploitation and cruel practices, one can’t help but wonder what will happen next. Instead of aligning with law enforcement to find these lost children and tackle the issues head-on, President Biden appears to be prioritizing other agendas over these pressing humanitarian crises. It leaves many asking: when will the safety and security of America and its children come first?
