Under Joe Biden, Have 85,000 Undocumented Children Gone 'Missing'?
Published Jul 14, 2023
Unaccompanied minors crossing the U.S. border each year present among the most worrying challenges in America's response to migration, with reports showing a recent rise in apprehensions of children, and criticism that the White House has violated providing legal protections for them.
A March 2023 report by the Council on Foreign Relations think tank stated that more than 152,000 unaccompanied minors were found at the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal year 2022, an all-time high, separated from friends or family.
As conservatives and others argue for stricter immigration policies and border control measures, the welfare of these children has formed part of their argument. Reports earlier this year that a 17-year-old Honduran migrant had died while in U.S. custody was referenced by, among others, Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republican, who accused President Joe Biden of "causing death" at the border.
Incidents like this have at the very least highlighted the treacherousness that children face. Some, however, argue that these stories risk becoming a tool of partisan politics. If that is true, therein lies the possibility that information and data surrounding this phenomenon could become distorted as a result.
