Federal officials from Health and Human Services (HHS) say they have no idea what has happened to 1,500 migrant children they placed with U.S. sponsors after they arrived to the border unaccompanied. Yup, you’re reading that correctly. While Trump administration officials and their enablers in the media are clutching their pearls over a White House Correspondents’ Dinner comedy set, the federal government can’t “determine with certainty” 1,500 vulnerable kids they placed into the hands of sponsors:

The official, Steven Wagner, the acting assistant secretary of the agency’s Administration for Children and Families, disclosed during testimony before a Senate homeland security subcommittee that the agency had learned of the missing children after placing calls to the people who took responsibility for them when they were released from government custody.

2. More offensive than 10 Michelle Wolf routines put together.

Think the media will wring their hands over this? Don't bet on it.

3. And some of these children are ending up in basically indentured servitude thanks to the "sponsors"

Reading the article mentions that some of these kids actually end up forced to work instead of going to school and, you know, growing up. Who the hell is vetting these "sponsors"? Why are we just handing over these children to "sponsors" who do not have the best interest of these kids at heart? I put "sponsors" in quotes since they are really child predators, preying on the the most vulnerable.
