HHS Secretary RFK Jr.: Joe Biden’s Border Policy was ‘Biggest Facilitator for Child Abuse’ in American HistoryJohn Binder 15 May 2025
Former President Joe Biden’s policies were the “biggest facilitator for child abuse” in American history, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says.
During a hearing this week, Kennedy told members of Congress that the Biden administration’s policies regarding the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) program — where migrant kids are turned over to HHS for care and resettlement with relatives in the United States — resulted in potentially 500,000 UACs going missing in the U.S.
“The estimate from the Office of Inspector General, and it is considered a very low estimate, is 291,000 children missing. The actual numbers are actually much higher than that; they could go up to half a million,” Kennedy revealed.
As Breitbart News chronicled, former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra reportedly carried out a policy that prioritized the release of UACs to adult sponsors over long-held protocols to protect such children from labor trafficking, sex trafficking, and child abuse.
The result, federal watchdogs have found, is that HHS under Biden lost track of hundreds of thousands of UACs who were resettled with adult sponsors who were not their family members.
“My predecessor was deliberately employing a policy of speed over safety so they waived all of the identification requirements for sponsors,” Kennedy said. “Sponsors were not required to show valid identification, they were never fingerprinted, so we don’t know if there’s a criminal record. There was no DNA testing so the claims that they were taking a family member were … they were dubious.
