January 1, Senate GOP: Biden “Created the Largest Child Trafficking Ring in US History”

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
2013: Detroit, Michigan, files for bankruptcy, becoming the largest US municipal bankruptcy ever at $18.5 billion.

Senate Republicans have leveled a damning charge against President Joe Biden, labeling his immigration policy as enabling “the largest child trafficking ring in U.S. history.”

This accusation was echoed in a video statement featuring remarks from several senators, including Ted Cruz (Texas) and Josh Hawley (Mo.), as well as Tim Ballard, a former Department of Homeland Security agent whose global pursuit of child traffickers is captured in the acclaimed film “Sound of Freedom.”

Cruz criticizes the administration for its lax approach to border security, accusing Biden of encouraging parents to send their minor children on perilous journeys to the U.S., alone and unprotected.

“The Biden administration has utterly failed to secure the border and has encouraged parents to send their minor alien children on dangerous trips to the United States unaccompanied. It’s failed to protect these children after they’ve been let into the United States,” Cruz asserts.

Hawley, too, admonishes the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), describing it as a “conveyor belt of children being forced through the system,” with the sole aim of swiftly dispatching them, regardless of their future safety.

In the video, he argues that the administration has allowed tens of thousands of children to fall into slavery, stating, “This administration has let tens of thousands of children be sold into slavery. … They are doing nothing about it.”

Sen. John Cornyn (Texas) adds to these criticisms, suggesting Biden’s indifference to the plight of more than 300,000 unaccompanied children placed with sponsors since he took office, as he states in the video.

Meanwhile, The New York Times reported earlier this year that the federal government is aware of these minors’ presence and that the HHS is responsible for ensuring their sponsors will protect them from trafficking exploitation.

However, there are serious concerns that the Biden administration has expedited the dispatch process for minors, moving them from shelters to adults without proper vetting of sponsors.

This could lead to dire outcomes, given the rapid increase in illegal immigration.

According to the Center Square, more than 45,000 migrant children had gone missing as of early 2022, with this number now exceeding 85,000.

Ballard, in his interview with the Daily Signal, also criticizes the Biden administration for its stance on open borders, arguing that it fuels an “economy of pedophilia.”

Bottom Line

Overall, these strong criticisms against the Biden administration’s handling of border security and child trafficking raise serious questions about its policies.

As Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) put it, “President Joe Biden has turned our southern border into an endless turnstile of illegal immigration, and human and drug smugglers are taking advantage of it. This is a heartbreaking humanitarian crisis beyond proportion.”

With over 8 million illegal aliens having entered the country as of June 2023, the economic and social toll on American citizens continues to rise.
