How is it possible for people with so much power to be so ignorant?
By Andrea Widburg
During the last debate, Joe Biden attacked President Trump because 545 children who were separated from adults at the border after entering illegally haven’t been reunited with their parents. Trump explained, accurately, that many of these children did not arrive with their parents. Instead, they were trafficked across the border by cartels and coyotes, making reuniting them difficult. On the left, many “deep thinkers†went insane, either because they believed Trump was talking about actual animals or because they thought he was making a bizarre racial slur.
Those who believe in a secure border have long known that a porous border is a godsend for criminals. The mainstream media will discuss drug trafficking because it often affects their base. They’re more hostile to discussing murderers and rapists who sneak in because that means confirming that Trump was correct when he said that Mexico wasn’t sending America her best people.
And what the media really don’t want to talk about is human trafficking. According to an article from 2016, when Trump swore to get control over the border,
It is estimated that 17,000 to 19,0001 foreign nationals are trafficked into the United States each year. Trafficking is the recruitment and possible transport of persons within or across boundaries by force, fraud, or deception for the purpose of exploiting them economically. Victims are lured with false promises of good jobs and better lives, and then forced to work under brutal and inhuman conditions. Victims of trafficking are exploited for purposes of commercial sex, including prostitution, stripping, pornography live-sex shows and other acts. However, trafficking also takes place as labor exploitation, including domestic servitude, sweatshop factories, agricultural work and more. After drug dealing, human trafficking is tied with the illegal arms industry as the second largest criminal industry in the world today, and it is the fastest growing.
