President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for U.S. Attorney General has promised to make every effort to investigate and find the 300,000 missing children who entered the country illegally at the southern border.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) posed the question to Pam Bondi at her confirmation hearing in the U.S. Senate on Wednesday.
Cruz also asked Bondi if she is willing to get trafficked children out of abusive situations “that the federal government has put them into.” The former Florida attorney general replied by simply saying, “Yes, Senator.”
“We have had four years of a wide-open southern border,” Cruz pointed out. “My state, Texas, has borne a disproportionate burden as a consequence of that—as 12 million illegal aliens have flooded into this country.”
Cruz accused the Biden administration of simply and utterly ignoring federal law.
“And when illegal aliens are arrested, they release them,” he continued. “Federal law says they shall be deported. And frankly, our constitutional system is not meant to deal with a president who defies the law.”
Back in September 2024, Texas’ Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick blasted Vice President Kamala Harris for losing track of over 300,000 unaccompanied illegal alien children. Patrick said that many of these children have been exploited by the sex slave trade and are likely being raped multiple times per day.
Incoming Border Czar Tom Homan has also pledged to find hundreds of thousands of missing children who were smuggled into the country.
“We have over half a million children that were smuggled into this country by criminal cartels that this administration released to so-called ‘sponsors,’” he said in a November interview with Fox News.
“We’re going to find those half a million children, and we’re going to save them,” he stated. “We’ll put them back with their families—that’s what President Trump is committed to doing.”
