Xavier Becerra's Record on Migrant Children Under Scrutiny in California Governor's Race
Xavier Becerra, a candidate for California governor, is under scrutiny for his tenure as U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, where he allegedly failed to adequately track and protect migrant children. Whistleblower allegations suggest that over 130,000 children were lost under his watch, with some reportedly trafficked or forced into labor. Steve Hilton, Becerra's Republican opponent, has made this issue a central theme of his campaign, accusing Becerra of moral failures and inadequate oversight. The controversy has become a defining issue in the gubernatorial race, with both candidates addressing the implications of Becerra's past actions.
