But I suspect they've used and been given a lot of American tax dollars to facilitate the crossing of the border of unaccompanied minors and the placement, 31,000, at least, [unaccompanied minors] without an address, without a point of contact, literally placed by the United States government at taxpayer's expense. We don't know where they are, we don't know who had them, we don't know anything about them. And likely horrific things that are unimaginable to all of us. (52:28–52:37)

CLAIM

Asserts that at least 31,000 unaccompanied minors were placed by the U.S. government without proper contact information.
