(Greg Reese)—In “Finding The Feds’ Missing Children, Child Trafficking in America” by Muckraker.com, Anthony Rubin reports that since 2021, about four-hundred children a day are smuggled into the United States, processed by the federal government, and released into the country.
“On August 19th, 2024, the Department of Homeland Security announced that they had lost track of over 300,000 of these children. In June of 2024, a government insider from the Department of Health and Human Services provided Muckraker with a list detailing the names of over 8000 alien children, along with their last known addresses. So we began an operation to find the missing children ourselves.”

Carlos Arrelano used to work for NGOs delivering these children throughout the United States.
“I spent over two decades working for NGOs. And to be more specific, I spent about seven years escorting children around the country. Delivering them from point A to point B. One of the things that I used to do was I used to move kids in the middle of the night at private airfields, private charter planes. We had countless of kids, ten-year-olds, 12-year-olds, 14-year-olds tell us that, oh they woke us up at three in the morning and they took us to a private airfield where the entire plane was full of kids. And we, I asked them over and over again, did you see other adults on this plane, or were the enti… all the seats just children? And they would say the entire plane, every single seat was a was a child on it. And then they spoke on how they would land in New York and get on charter busses. And then when their sponsor finally picked them up, they picked them up at a park, at a public park in the middle of the night.
And I would get confirmation from the sponsor as well. What time did you pick your child up? Did you pick them up at the airport or at the park? And they confirmed that it was at three in the morning in the park. And, these kids, all of them told stories about how they had little friends that they lost touch with, they’d never heard from again.
We had a lot of kids in the New York area with their sponsors, where I asked them, hey, did you go through any fingerprints? Did you go through any type of background to, to get this child? They said no fingerprints, no background. All I did was sign a piece of paper and they gave the kid to me. And then they turned around and gave the kid away two days later.
The youngest child I moved was three months old. When I moved that three month old, I wasn’t given formula, I wasn’t given diapers, because supposedly I was supposed to land where I was going to drop this child off at 2 p.m. in the afternoon. And I ended up dropping the child off at two in the morning.
And one of the biggest issues we ran into on this trip was that a lot of these so-called sponsors were telling us, oh, we gave the child away. The moment they got here, we gave it away after a day, or we gave it away after two days. And after they tell us, oh, they gave it away. There’s no way to find this child anymore. It’s a dead end. Those kids are lost forever. Never going to find them again.”

In their search, Muckraker.com found that these young children were officially living in dilapidated vacant homes.
“This was a house we showed up at in New York. This was in Amityville, New York, on Long Island. It was a house where allegedly two young boys, seven and ten, were sent to a sponsor there. And we showed up and the house is totally derelict and shut down. Nobody lives there anymore. We tried calling the phone number associated with the sponsor and it was just disconnected.”

“Two children were delivered to a sponsor that lives at this address, but as you can see, nobody lives here. And honestly, it doesn’t look like anybody’s lived here in quite a long time.”

On a hidden camera, Border Patrol admits they know this is going on.
“Have you seen the movie…”
~ Border Patrol agent
“Sound of Freedom?”
~ Muckraker-dot-com
“Yeah. Yeah, exactly like that shit.”
~ Border Patrol agent
“You guys get the kids coming over here with the notes that are attached to them with the addresses? Right? And a lot of times they just lead to, like a, like a sex trafficker or something. That’s legit.”
~ Muckraker-dot-com
“Yeah. There’s a lot of shit that we can’t tell you.”
~ Border Patrol agent
“What’s the issue? Why can’t you guys talk on camera?”
~ Muckraker-dot-com
“It’s the policies around things that we can and can’t say. Honestly, I wish there was more people like you, exposing this shit. Because it, it sucks. It truly is a horrible thing. It is a horrible thing.”
~ Border Patrol agent
“And once they’re detained and they’re in the hands of Border Patrol and then HHS, that’s it. Even if they say, listen, I just want to go back to my parents. I was smuggled here. They will not send the kid back home. They send them off, at best, to a foster care system.”

Safeguarding Your American Dream: Discover the Power of America First Healthcare
In today’s economy, healthcare costs remain one of the biggest threats to financial stability and family security. Americans work hard to build a better life, yet rising medical expenses can quickly erode savings, force tough trade-offs, and even push families toward debt or bankruptcy. Medical bills continue to rank as the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States, with millions facing underinsurance or unexpected out-of-pocket burdens that no one plans for. Many turn to government-run marketplace plans under the Affordable Care Act, hoping for relief, only to discover that what appears affordable on paper often delivers higher long-term costs, limited real protection, and coverage that may not align with personal values or family needs.
America First Healthcare stands out as a private insurance agency dedicated to helping conservatives and families secure better coverage and better rates through customized, values-aligned options. By conducting free insurance reviews, the agency uncovers hidden gaps in existing policies and connects clients with private alternatives that emphasize personal responsibility, small-government principles, and genuine affordability—often delivering up to 20% savings while providing stronger protection for the American Dream.
The allure of marketplace plans is easy to understand: open enrollment periods, premium tax credits for many households, and the promise of “comprehensive” benefits mandated by law. Yet recent data reveals a different reality, especially after the expiration of enhanced premium subsidies at the end of 2025. Enrollment for 2026 dropped by more than one million people compared to the prior year, with many shifting to lower-tier bronze plans to keep monthly premiums manageable.
These plans feature significantly higher deductibles—averaging around $7,500 nationally—and greater cost-sharing requirements. Families who once paid modest amounts after subsidies now face average premium increases of $65 or more per month, even as they accept plans that leave them responsible for thousands in upfront costs before meaningful coverage kicks in.
High deductibles create a dangerous barrier to care. Studies show that people in such plans are less likely to seek timely treatment for chronic conditions, attend preventive screenings, or fill necessary prescriptions. A seemingly minor illness or injury can balloon into major expenses when patients delay care until problems worsen. For a family of four, a single hospitalization, cancer diagnosis, or unexpected surgery can easily exceed the deductible, triggering coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums that still leave substantial bills. One recent analysis noted that some proposed changes could push family deductibles toward $31,000 in future years, further exposing households to financial risk.
Beyond the numbers, marketplace plans often carry structural limitations. Coverage for certain critical services may include waiting periods or narrower networks that restrict access to preferred doctors and specialists. Preventive care is required to be covered without cost-sharing, but everything else—lab work, imaging, specialist visits, or ongoing treatment—typically waits until the deductible is met. This reactive model contrasts sharply with the proactive, holistic approach many families prefer, especially those focused on wellness, early intervention, and maintaining health to enjoy life rather than merely reacting to illness.
Values alignment represents another growing concern. Government-influenced plans operate within a framework shaped by federal mandates and political priorities that may not reflect conservative principles of limited government, personal freedom, and ethical stewardship. Families who want to direct their healthcare dollars toward providers and benefits that honor traditional values sometimes find marketplace options feel misaligned, forcing a compromise between affordability and conviction.
Private alternatives, by contrast, offer year-round flexibility without the restrictions of open enrollment windows. Independent agents can shop across a wider range of carriers to design plans tailored to specific family needs—whether that means lower deductibles for frequent medical users, broader provider networks, or add-ons that support wellness and preventive services from day one. Clients frequently report more stable premiums that do not automatically escalate each year, along with genuine cost savings once the full picture of deductibles, copays, and coverage depth is considered.
Take the experience of real families who made the switch. Amanda C. shared that her new plan felt “way better” than what she had through the marketplace. Johnny Y. noted his previous coverage kept increasing annually until he found a more stable private option. Sofia S. expressed delight with her plan and began recommending it to others. These stories echo a common theme: when families move beyond one-size-fits-all government marketplaces, they often discover customized protection that better safeguards both health and finances.
Founder Jordan Sarmiento’s own journey underscores the stakes. In 2021, a six-day hospitalization generated a $95,000 bill. Under a well-structured private “Conservative Care Coverage” plan, his out-of-pocket responsibility would have been just $500. That stark difference illustrates how thoughtful planning and private options can prevent a medical event from becoming a financial catastrophe.
Practical steps exist for anyone questioning their current coverage. Start with a no-obligation review of your existing policy to identify gaps—high deductibles, limited critical-care benefits, or escalating premiums. Compare total projected costs (premiums plus potential out-of-pocket expenses) rather than monthly premiums alone. Consider family health history, anticipated needs, and lifestyle priorities. Private agencies can present side-by-side options that include stronger wellness incentives, broader access, and plans built on shared values of self-reliance and freedom.
In an era when healthcare inflation continues to outpace general cost-of-living increases, relying solely on marketplace solutions carries growing risk. Families who proactively explore private alternatives frequently achieve meaningful savings while gaining peace of mind that their coverage truly works when needed most.
America First Healthcare makes this exploration straightforward through its free review process. Families and individuals receive personalized guidance to close coverage holes, reduce unnecessary expenses, and secure plans that align with conservative principles—protecting wallets, health, and the American Dream without government overreach. Many who complete a review discover they can enjoy better benefits for less, often saving up to 20% while gaining the customization and stability that marketplace plans struggle to deliver.
Ultimately, protecting your family’s future requires looking beyond the marketing of “affordable” government options. By understanding the long-term costs hidden in high deductibles, shifting coverage tiers, and values mismatches, Americans can make empowered choices. Private, values-driven insurance offers a smarter path—one that rewards diligence, supports wellness, and delivers real security. For those ready to move beyond the limitations of traditional marketplace plans, a simple review can reveal options designed to serve families, not bureaucracies. The American Dream thrives when individuals and families retain control over their healthcare decisions, and thoughtful private coverage plays a vital role in making that possible.
