Her name is Juana Rebecca Perez Santay. She was 17 years old when she crossed the border. Joe Biden’s Health and Human Services boss, now-California Democrat gubernatorial nominee Xavier Becerra, dismantled the agency’s vetting procedures that were supposed to protect her to help facilitate Biden’s four-year border invasion.
She said it on camera. Clearly. With her name attached. Not an anonymous source. Not a whistleblower filing. A real human being, describing in plain words what happened to her because the man now running for governor of California decided that releasing migrant children quickly was more important than verifying where they were going.
What Becerra actually did deserves to be stated plainly — the voters of that state deserve to know every word of it. He didn’t want children held in detention facilities, so he emptied them. He removed the vetting requirements — fingerprints, background checks, home studies — that existed specifically to verify that the adults receiving migrant children were safe. He eliminated the safeguards. He accelerated the releases. And 319,000 children went missing. Over 480,000 unaccompanied minors crossed the border during his tenure.
