Smugglers are bringing their children when transporting illegal immigrants further into the country as a way to hide their nefarious operations, according to current and former law enforcement officials who spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The smuggling is occurring during a record surge in illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, where federal authorities recorded more than 2.3 million migrant encounters in fiscal year 2022.
“It’s what happens when people care more about making a few dollars than the health and safety of their own family members,” Goliad County Sheriff Roy Boyd told the DCNF.
Drivers smuggling illegal immigrants into the country are bringing their young children to “cover” their crimes, according to current and former law enforcement officials who spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
