🚨 Honest question (try not to dodge it)

Congress recently voted on a bill that said something absolutely outrageous…

👉 Maybe we should fully vet adults before handing them migrant children.

🤯 I know.
Background checks?
For people taking custody of kids?
What’s next seatbelts and smoke alarms?

The bill was called the Kayla Hamilton Act, named after a young woman murdered by a teen who entered the U.S. as an unaccompanied migrant.
Not a slogan.
Not a “narrative.”
A real person. A real death.

The bill would’ve:
✔️ Expanded background checks
✔️ Flagged criminal & gang histories
✔️ Blocked kids from being placed with sponsors who have serious criminal records

🤔 Crazy thought: when the government takes custody of a child, shouldn’t the bar be EXTREMELY high?

Sounds like common sense, right?
Apparently not.

Here’s how the House voted:

Every Republican voted YES

Only 7 Democrats voted YES

About 201 Democrats voted NO

At what point do we stop pretending this is about policy and admit it’s about automatic opposition?

Like… “If they vote yes, we vote no don’t even read it.”

Now let’s talk numbers because these always magically disappear from the conversation:

📌 Every year in the U.S.,roughly 330,000–460,000 children are reported missing. Most are found. Some aren’t.
And even “temporary” disappearances can mean abuse, trafficking, or worse.

📌 Thousands of migrant children have gone missing from federal oversight in recent years. That’s not Fox News.
That’s DHS and inspectors general.

🤔 So let me ask you this:
Is this really the moment for political sensitivity, word games, and excuses?

Because from the outside, it looks like adults arguing ideology while kids fall through the cracks.

Another uncomfortable truth:
Politicians love microphones.
They love press releases.
They love saying “we care.”

They’re a lot less confident when you put them face-to-face with a parent whose child disappeared.

🤔 Final question (and this one matters):

Should the government go above and beyond when a child is in its care or are we seriously okay treating this like just another partisan food fight?

I’m listening.
