**Lost and Found: The Becerra Debacle that Could Haunt California's Future**
In a shocking revelation, former Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra faces scrutiny for losing track of an astonishing 300,000 unaccompanied migrant children during his tenure.
These children—an entire city’s worth—vanished under his watch from January 2021 to December 2024, as the Biden administration's policies prioritized rapid processing over safety and vetting.
Now, Becerra is campaigning to be California's next governor, presenting himself as a leader capable of tackling the state's pressing issues—from housing to public health.
However, his record raises serious questions about his competency and concern for vulnerable populations.
Internal memos from eleven managers in the Office of Refugee Resettlement warned Becerra that labor trafficking among children had surged and that the system he presided over rewarded quick releases rather than safe placements.
Despite these alarming reports, no reforms were enacted under his leadership, and instead, the pressure to expedite releases only intensified.
The results were catastrophic.
The Department of Health and Human Services inspector general’s reports confirmed that Becerra's tenure stripped critical safeguards, resulting in children being placed with unvetted sponsors, including connections to human trafficking.
While he now touts his "experience" and readiness to lead, it is essential for California voters to scrutinize what that experience truly entails.
In a recorded meeting, Becerra likened the urgent transfers of children to an assembly line—showing a disturbing lack of empathy for the lives at stake.
Instead of prioritizing their safety, he emphasized the importance of moving children out of federal care quickly, demonstrating a gross negligence towards the welfare of those he was meant to protect.
Documentation of this negligence doesn't merely end with his suggestions of faster releases; Becerra’s agency compiled an alarming number of unresolved reports, with 65,605 communications filed by staff, whistleblowers, and the children themselves going unaddressed.
The facts don’t lie: out of the 470,000 unaccompanied minors processed during Becerra's leadership, two-thirds were rendered lost or handed over to sponsors who could not be reliably vetted.
Becerra’s response to a question about the shocking number of children HHS could not contact—85,000—was an outright denial, suggesting he was either grossly uninformed or deliberately evasive.
As he now seeks to lead California—home to nine million children—voters must ask: is a man who couldn't protect 300,000 children in his previous role fit to take on larger responsibilities?
This situation is not merely a political issue; it is a deeply troubling indictment of a candidate’s effectiveness and prioritization of safety over speed.
Voters have the right to expect a leader who shows genuine concern for the most vulnerable among us.
Becerra’s rise from this significant failure raises serious doubts about his qualifications.
California deserves better than a leader whose record of carelessness could compromise the future of its children.
