Small Boy Trafficked Across Border, Abandoned By Parents

Our current policy encourages child trafficking and child abuse by cartel smugglers. This child is not exactly an isolated case. He just makes a better news story than most of the hundreds of thousands of children, who are trafficked to the border by the cartels every year at great risk, in order that their parents can be quickly released into the US to live illegally, or for them to be put across to live with illegal “relatives” already in the US.

To stop this insane, mass exploitation of children, we have to stop releasing them and their parents into the US, just because they drag a child with them to exploit as a get-in-free pass. To release them only encourages the cartel to traffick thousands more children.

In most cases, it should be handled as a crime; child abuse, child endangerment and a form of child trafficking. Though it may not involve sexual exploitation, sometimes it involves sexual exploitation, as well.

To learn more read this 10-page court opinion by Federal Court Judge Andrew Hanen who said that a parent smuggling a child for such purposes is committing a crime and often the Government aids and abets the crime by helping to deliver the child to its destination.
