As a former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) special agent on the southern border who fought sex trafficking for over a decade, I can say with certainty that the issue of the border wall should be not about power and partisan politics. It should be about the children – the tens of thousands of them who have been and are being trafficked into the U.S. and forced into the commercial sex trade.
Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal enterprise on the planet, with millions of child victims stuck in its clutches. Indeed, this is no peripheral issue – this alone should be front and center in our border and immigration debate.
spent over 12 years working as a special agent/undercover operator for Homeland Security Investigations in the Child Crimes/Child Trafficking unit. For a decade of that service, I was stationed at the border office in Calexico, California. Based on my extensive experience fighting transnational crime along the southern border, I know that we should absolutely finish building the wall for the sake of the children.
Not long ago, a 13-year-old girl from Central America – let’s call her “Liliana” – was kidnapped from her village, then trafficked into the U.S. at a location where there is no wall or barrier. From there, she was taken to New York City, where she was raped by American men 30 to 40 times a day.

Cynical? A bit, yes. But this is war.
This is ABSOLUTELY the way we should be fighting for the wall and for scrutiny of people entering the US. When everyone was ginned up to be outraged about “people in cages” (not true), the firm and consistent answer should’ve been that we have to be sure the children are with proper legal guardians.
To the Left, the concepts of Nation State sovereignty and national borders are far more immoral than the notion of sex trafficking young children. I mean, you know, everybody does that.
They seriously need a documentary on human smuggling. People really don’t understand what that means.
If Democrats think killing a baby one day away from a live birth is OK, why should they care about kids being abuse by sex trafficking.
How in the name of all that is Holy did the Democrats get themselves on the side of sex slavers and child molesters? Forget that. We must resist that bad orange lunatic who colludes with Russia while trying to start a nuclear war. Must be for the tax write-off when all of his hotels are blown up.
Saint Nancy and Uncle Chuck don’t care. They will continue to preach that the wall is “immoral” in that it deprives them of motor-voter electors.
Check their donor list.
Absolutely, The costs to minors far far outweigh any advantages for minors. This open door is a huge crime against humanity.
A poignant and succinct article. I like how he uses a quote from the “Leftist Hero” Nelson Mandela.
“There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children...”
Yes, it is important. But so is the sovereignty and culture of our country, including the gutting of low-skill salaries and massive raiding of taxpayer coffers, along with all the other crime cost by the invaders.
Reducing it to a policing action would be a grave mistake. This is a challenge to our sovereignty and and national strength and survival that requires an immediate military border building and enforcing solution—plus the eradication of the 30 million-plus currently here illegally.
And by eradication I mean removal to their home countries.
(Sending them home would also help those countries immeasurably, given the educations and apprentices they have stolen in the US.)
Why do democrats want to murder children?
Only the children of the bourgeois need to be murdered, Comrade. The children of the proletariat will be sheltered until the Superiors deem them unnecessary.
Selling a kid for sex is an inexhaustible resource until the child dies.
They are both bad but, which one is worse?
Then how about a bounty on adult males.
Maybe a tax write-off.
In the cities, what do they see that we don't?
The results of a government breeding program for the dependent class, perhaps.
We need the wall for everybody, not just the children. The Democrats are far better than we are at phony do-it-for-the- children arguments, so no need to borrow from their nonsense.
