They Called It ‘Compassion’ -- But it was Child Trafficking
By Kevin Finn
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.
