. Regardless of the desires for family reunification, or conditions in other countries, the smuggling or trafficking of alien children is intolerable. (Emphasis supplied)
Regrettably, the problem has gotten worse, not better, in the years since that testimony was given. In addition, the process of identifying UAC(unaccompanied children) and their sponsors creates multiple perverse incentives and tragic outcomes.
Some “children” are not children at all, but full-grown predatory adults; some are already gang members or criminal actors; others are coerced into prostitution or sexual slavery; some are recycled to be used as human visas by criminal organizations; some are consigned to relatives who funnel them into sweatshops to pay off the debt accumulated by their trek to this country; some flee their sponsors and return to their country of origin; some are abandoned by their so-called families and become wards of the dependency system, the criminal justice system, or disappear altogether
Meanwhile, ORR(office of refugee settlement)’s efforts and resources are less-directed at preventing or remedying any of these maladies, and instead appear fully focused on maximizing the number of children they can process, heedless of the downstream consequences to either the children or the communities into which they are jettisoned.
ORR—armed with a budget of billions of taxpayer dollars and working with activists and nonprofit organizations’ which receive hundreds of millions of dollars in grant monies, hold millions in assets, and pay cadres of executives salaries in the hundreds of thousands of dollars— is handling thousands of foreign children in a dangerous manner.
