1,500 gone.

When ya'll bring up concerns about "oh how do we know if these people are really their parents, they could be human traffickers?" Please remember that human trafficking is easier when you detain a vulnerable population.

From the same article:
Caitlin Oakley, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services, offered a response to the findings on Tuesday night. “As communicated to members of Congress multiple times,” she said, “these children are not ‘lost.’ Their sponsors — who are usually parents or family members and in all cases have been vetted for criminality and ability to provide for them — simply did not respond or could not be reached when this voluntary call was made.”
