The dramatic photograph of a 2-year-old Honduran girl crying while U.S. Border Patrol agents search her mother on the United States-Mexico border in June captured the attention of the international press, won the World Press Photo of the Year, and helped define the public fight over U.S. immigration policy for months.
The gut-wrenching stories and photographs of children separated from their guardians on our southern border garner online clicks, television ratings, and talk radio audiences. However, hidden behind the headlines and away from prying cameras is a much more sinister issue. It's the children who are smuggled across our southern border to be bought and sold for sex.
Since 2007, there have been over 34,000 sex-trafficking cases reported in the United States. Approximately 600 of the cases annually involved foreign nationals smuggling men, women, and children across our southern border.
