Inside the Broken Border System That Lost Track of Kids
December 10, 2025On this episode of The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, Maggie Miller is joined by James Varney to break down his review, which reveals that the federal government has lost contact with more than 300,000 migrant children who crossed the border during the Biden administration. Despite a $23 billion network of nonprofits, contractors, and federal agencies funded to shelter and track these minors, investigators found that tens of thousands have no recorded address, and the whereabouts of hundreds of thousands aren't known.
The investigation raises questions about trafficking risks, system failures, and accountability. How did a multibillion-dollar system fail to protect the children it was built for — and why is no one answering for it? The full investigation can be found here.
