Tim Ballard, the former Homeland Security agent and undercover operative
whose experience rescuing child sex trafficking victims inspired the film
"Sound of Freedom," joined Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., Tuesday in demanding
the Biden administration find the estimated 85,000 unaccompanied minors
who crossed the southern border and remain unaccounted for in the U.S.

At a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., Smith
announced new legislation dubbed the "Safeguarding Endangered Children,
Unaccompanied and at Risk of Exploitation Act of 2023" or as the "SECURE
Act of 2023."

The bill aims to compel the federal government to report on efforts to
locate, establish contact with, conduct wellness checks on, and
investigate any suspicion of human trafficking related to the
approximately 85,000 unaccompanied migrant children released from the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR) custody "with whom subsequent contact has been lost."

"Due to the failed open border policies of the Biden administration, we
must address the tens of thousands, really hundreds of thousands of
unaccompanied minors now at risk for trafficking and abuse," Smith said,
before introducing Ballard as a "hero."

Ballard said HHS data shows at least 85,000 children have "disappeared
into the belly of the country that consumes more child exploitation
material than any other country on the planet."

"This should horrify every American," he said. "We refuse to enforce the
borders."

According to statistics kept by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, at
least 345,000 children have crossed the United States southern border
unaccompanied since early 2021, according to a copy of the bill obtained
by Fox News Digital. The legislation states thousands of these children
have been victims of child sex trafficking, forced child labor, or child
sexual exploitation and abuse, or some combination of these crimes.
