Biden’s open borders policy led to 8-year-olds being sold for sex.
“Children, boys and girls, are being sold for sex,” Tara Rodas, a whistleblower from the Department of Health and Human Services, told Congress. “Just last month I spoke with a care provider in Florida who told me about cases of migrant children as young as 8 with sexually transmitted diseases.”
Rodas, a former deputy to the director of the Federal Case Management Team at the Department of Health and Human Services, had been working on spotting red flags for child trafficking among the underage migrants who were being wrongly released to sponsors,
“Today, children are being sold for sex. Some children, girls and boys, will get sexually transmitted diseases. Some girls – as young as 12, 11, or even 10 years old – will give birth to children of their own. Forced labor and prostitution among underage migrants have more than tripled,” she warned, under the Biden-Harris administration.
During the first term of the Trump administration, activists, politicians and the media had falsely claimed that children were being put into ‘cages’. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had put on an act crying over a parking lot, but there are no tears now that children face actual horrors.
And they face those horrors because the Biden-Harris administration dismantled border security and immigration integrity. The Trump administration had been following a longstanding policy to protect migrant children from exploitation. Without that policy, child abuse became prevalent.
Tara Rodas had watched as underage migrants were turned over non-family sponsors with no tracking or accountability. No welfare checks were conducted on those children and the word of the sponsor was considered enough. But some of those sponsors were the worst of the worst.
Children were handed over to “traffickers, members of transnational criminal organizations, bad actors, bad, bad, bad people” after the Biden administration “stripped all the vetting out of the process.” And Rodas said that “after nearly 3 and a half years of sounding the alarm, no significant action has been taken to rescue children.”
With over 300,000 underage migrants reported unaccounted for in the United States, Rodas was testifying at the Committee on Homeland Security about what she described as a delivery system for turning over children to the cartels and other organized crime.
“I’m very unclear as to why we’re luring children to the United States to be the white glove delivery system of these children to known MS-13, 18th Street Gang, Russian Balkans crime syndicates, and other unsavory characters,” Rodas told the Homeland Security Committee.
The lack of accountability extended not only to the open border and migrants being waved through, but to the refusal to examine even the most obvious causes of abuse by migrants.
Alicia Hopper, a consultant on human trafficking, described, “a young girl who arrived at the border in the custody of individuals claiming to be her family was bruised, disoriented and in pain. Medical examinations revealed that she had been raped, yet she was sent back to her abusers because no verification was done to confirm her guardianship.” --->READ MORE HERE
According to a shocking new report, the Biden-Harris administration has effectively lost track of more than 320,000 unaccompanied migrant children (UACs). Many of them have likely fallen victim to brutal human trafficking rings that have flourished under Democrats’ open borders agenda.
The figures were released as part of a 14-page report from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the agency at the forefront of the border crisis. In total, the report finds, 32,000 UACs were released into the US with hearing dates but then failed to show in court, while 291,000 were never even given a date to appear in immigration court.
UACs who cross the border and are apprehended by border agents are then turned over to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which is supposed to connect them with a sponsor, usually a family member already in the country. But as HHS whistleblowers have alleged, in reality children are often handed over to “traffickers, members of transnational criminal organizations, bad actors, bad, bad, bad people.”
Moreover, the report found that just one of the eight Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices that they audited had even “attempted to locate” the missing children.
One shudders to imagine what happens to children—some as young as five years old—who are left without legal protections or oversight. A New York Times exposé published last February reveals in horrifying detail the conditions many of these children are subject to. Many are forced to work long hours in dangerous jobs, violating child labor laws. The Times spoke to 13-year-olds in Virginia who spent their days working in hotels washing sheets and towels instead of going to school, and 12-year-olds working 12-hour days as roofers in Florida and Tennessee.
Other UACs are being handed over by the Biden-Harris administration directly to sex traffickers. According to some estimates, as many as 60 percent of UACs who cross the border end up ensnared in sex trafficking or prostitution. As of 2022, human trafficking at the border had become a billion-dollar industry.
Along with openly encouraging migrants to flood to the border, the Biden-Harris administration’s decision to stop issuing Notices to Appear (NTA) to UACs has directly exacerbated the current crisis. --->READ MORE HERE
