It actually is true. Notice I didn't say 300k being put in sweat shops or Bill Gates dungeon or pizza gate or anything like that. I'm sure a great deal of them are with sponsors or family etc and some unfortunately aren't. But there are 300K that they admit to that have not followed the rules got lost or worse and we don't know where they are and don't have the resources to check because we opened the border with no rhyme or reason or plan. So no the population of Epstein Island didn't grow by 300K but there are 300K encounters with a human child attached to them that if you said "and what is the status of the case and location of this child" the answer is "we don't know". That's the population of Norman, Broken Arrow, and Stillwater combined. And that just the kids....and just the ones they know of.
One is too many-I think everyone is clear on that. But the 300000 number is misleading even with your added context.
From the article I posted:
According to immigration experts and attorneys, the claims largely stem from an August report from the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general's office, which found that 32,000 unaccompanied minors failed to show up for court dates at immigration courts from 2019-23.
The report noted that 291,000 migrant children received no court notices at all. It also called on the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) to "take immediate action to ensure the safety" of unaccompanied migrant children in the US.
Migrant children "who do not appear for court are considered at higher risk for trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor", the inspector general's office reported.
But Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, policy director at the American Immigration Council, a migrant advocacy group, told the BBC the figures are indicative of a bureaucratic "paperwork issue" rather than "anything nefarious".
"When you hear the phrase 'missing', you think that there is a child that someone is trying to find and can't," he said.
"That's not the case here. The government has not made any effort to find these children."
Some border officials say they fear migrant children are being exploited after arriving in the US.

So basically, it's not that there are 300K children missing, it's that there are 300K children somewhere in the country that we haven't looked for.
