They Called It ‘Compassion’ -- But it was Child Trafficking

In the history of American governance, few chapters will stain the pages as darkly as the utter failure of the Biden-Harris administration to safeguard unaccompanied migrant children. I must ask this question: If their goal was to intentionally traffic children into sexual slavery and forced labor, how would their actions have been any different?

For four catastrophic years, vulnerable minors poured across the Rio Grande and were funneled into a system riddled with incompetence, willful blindness, and flat-out negligence. A report from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General (DHS OIG) landed like a bomb and exposed the tragedy: the administration lost track of over 320,000 of these children, releasing them to unvetted sponsors without so much as a whisper of accountability. These were terrified kids, fleeing poverty or violence, only to vanish into the shadows of sex trafficking, forced labor, and unimaginable abuse.

I must also ask this question: Why would parents send unaccompanied minor children on a trip across hundreds or thousands of miles, knowing the likelihood that they would be raped, otherwise abused, and forced into slavery? Were they greasing the skids for chain migration?

The human cost defies comprehension. Young girls, 16 years old or younger, drugged and pimped out by alleged "brothers" or "uncles." This was the very definition of dereliction of duty that prioritized open borders over innocent lives.

HHS stripped away rigorous vetting at the onset of Biden's "reign of error," opting for phone calls instead of in-person checks, permitting non-family sponsors -- many hosting multiple children -- to whisk away minors unchecked. Addresses provided to ICE were wrong 80% of the time, incomplete for over 31,000 kids, or downright fictional. 34 children were dumped at two nonexistent locations by one field office alone. Even worse, a 2021 interagency pact handcuffed

It looks like this had to be intentional.

[ScaniaBoy]

Over $6 billion flowed to NGOs like Endeavors and Southwest Key, whose revenues exploded from $52 million to $1.18 billion in two years, with CEO pay doubling. These "nonprofits", 97-99% federally funded, became enablers: hiring staff without background checks, letting men roam female dorms, and even staging sexually explicit "twerking" lessons for teen girls.

Is anyone going to be punished (like decades in jail, at least) for this?

[rdcbn1]

Of course this was completely intentional and it had a lot more to do with sex trafficking for pedos than child labor.

Exploitation by forced child labor is what they do with the children after they are past their shelf life as pedo sex slaves

Seriously, what kind of parent sends their child alone to the US in the hands of cartel coyotes and for what other reason would the cartels even try the difficult job to transport and bring in an 8-12 year old child

[CodeToad]

They didn’t fail to safeguard, they were part of it.

[PGalt]

HORRIBLE

[DeplorableTrumpSupporter]

I think child traffickers should be publicity executed on TV..

[Lockbox]

And of course all that is not criminal activity for which there will be arrests, convictions and incarceration! Plus no fall out for our Dear Leaders………

oh bye the way which color uniform is this year’s Dear Leader Parade?

Call or be part of the problem by letting it persist.

Post #4…..I have always be that to be the case.

[metmom]

I saw the movie *The Sound of Freedom*, about child sex trafficking.

It was very powerful and sobering.

[MtnClimber]

I saw The Sound of Freedom too. It really was a powerful movie.

The Biden/Mayorkas regime was on the side of the bad guys.

[sport]

I agree.

[xp38]

I would imagine a parent would be poor and offered money. Beyond that maybe no money just a gun pointed at them.
