Homeland Security agents recently attempted to conduct welfare checks on unaccompanied migrant children at two Los Angeles elementary schools. Their mission? Ensuring these kids – who entered the U.S. alone – aren’t being exploited, abused, or trafficked.
Why? Because the Biden-Harris administration “lost” 300,000 children during their open borders human trafficking operation.
But in the eyes of the perpetually outraged (Democrats), this was less about child safety and more about goose-stepping fascism.
The DHS agents visited Lillian Street and Russell Elementary Schools, aiming to verify the well-being of students who had crossed the border unaccompanied. Despite DHS clarifying that this was a welfare check, not an immigration raid, school officials denied them entry, citing concerns over proper authorization and the need for a court order.
Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, channeling his inner drama teacher, questioned the agents’ motives, asking, “What interest should a Homeland Security agent have in a first-grader?”
Perhaps the answer is ensuring that children aren’t being forced into labor or worse. Something that doesn’t seem to bother Carvalho enough to check into.
Critics argue that the agents misrepresented their authority and lacked proper identification. However, DHS maintains that the visits were part of efforts to protect vulnerable children from potential harm, especially given reports of unaccompanied minors being exploited due to lax oversight.
But in today’s climate, where every action that Trump does is viewed through a lens of suspicion and hatred, even attempts to safeguard children are met with accusations of tyranny. It’s a classic case of no good deed going unpunished when the president is involved.
So, while the Trump administration tries to ensure the safety of illegal alien migrant children, detractors remain more interested in political theater than child welfare. That’s probably because it’s easier to cast aspersions than to acknowledge efforts that don’t fit the anti-Trump narrative.
However, unbeknownst to most everyone, the Trump administration has reportedly reunited around 5,000 unaccompanied migrant children with relatives or designated “safe guardians,” following the disappearance of tens of thousands of children under the Biden administration. Just another MAGA success that the leftists appear to oppose.
