WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, Senator Rick Scott released the below statement followingreportsthat theBidenadministration has lost contact with over one-third of migrant children released from its custody, leaving thousands of migrant children unaccounted for in the United States. For months, Senator Scott has called for President Biden and Vice President Harris to do their jobs, secure our border and address the national security and humanitarian crisis caused by their failed policies of amnesty and open borders.

In 2018, then-Senator Kamala Harris called reports of 1,500 migrant children not reporting to the administration extremely troubling. Now, with nearly 4,500 migrant children missing, its clear thatunder her tenure as Border Czar theBiden-Harris administrationis responsible for losing contact with triple the amount she criticized just a few years prior.

Senator Rick Scott said, Joe Biden continues to show that he is woefully incapable of leading our nation and making decisions in the best interests of American families. In 2018, Bidens Border Czar Kamala Harris repeatedly criticized President Trumps handling of the southern border. Now, under her leadership, the number of migrant children the administration has lost contact with has TRIPLED. The Biden administration and Democrats in Congress dont care about the border or protecting Americanstheyre playing games with the safety of our families. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris failure to uphold the law and insistence on implementing failed policies of amnesty and open borders arent workingits created the biggest border crisis weve seen in two decades. This administration is letting savage drug cartels control our border, carelessly allowing millions of illegal immigrants into our country and a flood of drugs that are killing Americans every day. And now, their dangerous policies are putting thousands of migrant children at risk. We must secure our border NOW and account for every missing child handled by this administration. We cant allow our country to continue heading down this path of destruction.
