Biden’s Careless Migrant Sponsor System Sends Kids Into Slavery

Unaccompanied migrant children are viewed as “the product” by Mexico’s criminal cartels, and unfortunately, the Biden administration seems to treat them as such. It’s a heartbreaking reality that our current immigration system is nothing more than a modern-day slave trade.  

Thankfully, The New York Times has finally exposed the left to the Biden administration’s indifference to the exploitation of migrant children. While the paper’s report on migrant child labor is a good start, it fails to show the whole picture.  

While the NYT reporter, Hannah Drier, focuses on children, it’s important to remember that the exploited includes everyone – men, women, and children – lured into the United States by promises of a better life, only to be trapped in modern-day slavery. Drier wrote at length about White House Cabinet officials, such as Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, Domestic Policy Director Susan Rice, and even Vice President Kamala Harris, who have failed to protect migrant children from unsafe and inhumane conditions.  

However, the article fails to mention the devastating reality of sex trafficking – the ruined lives of young girls and women who never make it to honest work in a poultry or furniture factory, as they were promised. Under the cartels and America’s careless administration, they are used and abused in the sex trade until they are reduced to nothing.  

It’s not just sex trafficking either. Other children and young adults are being forced into grueling labor in meatpacking, agricultural, and hospitality jobs not mentioned in Drier’s article. America’s unaccompanied and unchaperoned minors are a bonanza for human traffickers.  

Under the Biden administration, there is no American dream. There is only victimization and abandonment. I touched on the government’s indifference to the commodification of migrant children in the Epoch Times last December, and unfortunately, it has only grown worse since then.  

This is a moral failing that conscientious citizens should recognize. Modern-day slavery is just as impermissible as the slavery African-Americans endured. 

Former Project Veritas CEO James O’Keefe has revealed the reality of our immigration system in interviews with victims of the modern-day slave trade and whistleblowers. One whistleblower, Tara Lee Rodas, exposed the lack of checks and balances in the immigration process. She revealed that sponsors, who typically are not legal citizens or permanent residents, threaten children, whom they call their “products,” with deportation to ensure their servitude.  

“The sponsor can hold up an ‘Order of Deportation’ to a [migrant] child and say, ‘This is your Order of Deportation. If you do not do what I say, when I say, I’m going to call ICE on you myself,'” Rodas said. “We [American citizens] are paying to put children in the hands of criminals.” 

These children are not being reunited with their families. Unaccompanied minors, like chattel slaves, are crowded into temporary housing upon arrival. We have seen pictures of blankets that look like aluminum foil and masses of bodies.

Health and Human Services is supposed to find suitable homes for the children. In the government’s rush to rehome these children, they may be placed with a foreign national sponsor who has already laid claim to several children. At that point, the children – now the cartel’s “product” – are at the mercy of their sponsors. We know that HHS has lost track of thousands of children. For all HHS knows, the children could be chained up in someone’s basement – or worse, dead.
