As you said - “the vast majority.”

That I wouldn't know, as I don't know all of them personally - perhaps you do.

Secondly, once they are here, again what do we do if before a judge they say that they have been sexually abused, either by captors who used them as mules, or by people from where they fled from (parents, relatives, local authorities) - mostly from regions where thugs are trafficking drugs.

Call them liars? Send them back to where they were, so that they can be abused again?

I personally don't have all of the answers, while some here seem to think they do. I would love to see their pearly white throne on high.

"Children" who have fled from dangerous environments or been abused might be properly considered eligible for refugee status.

However, classifying them as "victims of human trafficking" is almost always disengenuous on the part of the classifiers. "Victims of human trafficking" are by defintion slaves, not voluntary refugees.

If you want to provide refuge to anybody from everywhere in the world where conditions are horrible, feel free to push for a law to do so.

Just don't claim those fleeing such conditions are something they aren't.
