Profits in Child-Trafficking
American Thinker ^ | 30 Nov, 2024 | Morgan Lerette

The outsourcing of duties to private contractors allows the government to distance itself from the child-trafficking operation proliferating right under its nose.

At a high level, the movement of minors across the U.S.-Mexico border is easy to understand. Children arrive at the border and are moved to where they have “family.” Like most U.S. government bureaucracies, the process is much more complex, fraught with incompetence, and no one can be held accountable.

Massive government contracts doled out to private military contractors and nonprofits hide the sheer ineptitude of these policies. The common thread of these programs is they are being outsourced from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Health and Human Services (HHS) to contractors. This allows the agencies to distance themselves from their policies while no one is held accountable. Human-smuggling operations exploit the immigration process, dropping a child at the border and taking custody of them in the U.S. This is why DHS cannot account for over 320,000 children who have entered the U.S.

The Supply Chain

A source within the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) states the children are being coached by the traffickers on what to do and say when they reach the border. If an individual claims to be under the age of 14, CBP is not required to ask them for documentation or fingerprint them. They are given a point of contact in the U.S. who is part of the smuggling ring and told to inform CBP their parents are in the U.S. Knowing CBP cannot confirm this, the kids are processed through the border.

Once a minor reaches the border, it becomes a race against time. By regulation, CBP can only hold a minor for 72 hours so the logistics operation starts immediately.

Absolutely it does! Nothing destroys a human being more than being stolen and trafficked to perverts for their sick sexual deviancies- the children are scarred for life- there is no undoing the damage. Traffickers should face the death penalty and if they did, there would be a lot less horror in this world

They need to see the light, and the message from christ who says to them

‘’Look unto Me; I am sweatin’ great drops of blood. Look unto Me; I am hangin’ on the cross. Look unto Me; I am dead and buried. Look unto Me; I rise again. Look unto Me; I ascend to Heaven. Look unto Me; I am sittin’ at the Father’s right hand. O poor sinner, look unto Me! Look unto Me!’’

(From a passage in Charles spurgeon’s testimony.)

Not only the traffickers, but the ‘end-users’ should face the death penalty. Both suppliers and demanders need to be ‘erased’.
