Top highlights from RFK Jr.'s first confirmation hearing: Spiritual battle, divine purpose, missing children
2. Kennedy commits to finding missing illegal immigrant children
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, mentioned the “roughly 500,000 children that were placed with ‘sponsors’ in the interior of the United States” that the federal government lost track of because of what he described as the Biden administration’s belief that “it was not the federal government’s responsibility once these children were placed with these sponsors.”
As Cornyn explained, The New York Times reported that when the HHS’ Office of Refugee Resettlement “tried to follow up and find out how they were doing, whether they were going to school, whether they were being trafficked or abused, there was no answer.”
Kennedy told Cornyn that “President Trump has personally spoken to me about locating those 300,000 children who disappeared over the last four years.” Cornyn interrupted after noticing that the number used by Kennedy differed from the statistic he shared, stating, “I don’t think anybody has a fully accurate number but it’s hundreds of thousands, I agree.”

“Many of them, we know, have been sex trafficked” and subjected to “childhood slavery,” Kennedy stated. He described the situation as a “blight on America’s moral authority,” adding: “We need to find those kids.”
