Lara Trump details how ‘military-age men’ use children to cross border – Washington Examiner
In a recent interview on Fox News’s “Hannity,” Lara Trump, Co-Chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, discussed the issue of illegal immigration, particularly focusing on a concerning tactic where “military-age men” reportedly use the same children multiple times to cross the border. She referred to these children as “recycled children,” indicating that they may be used in various illicit crossings by different men. During her visit to the southern border, Trump highlighted the alarming rate of sexual assaults on women during these crossings, claiming it is significantly higher than reported.
Trump also criticized Vice President Kamala Harris’s approach to border security, especially her decision not to activate high-tech cameras installed during the previous administration. She expressed frustration that the materials for completing gaps in the border wall are available, yet not being utilized. Emphasizing the necessity of on-ground experiences, she urged Harris to witness the situation for herself, indicating that her understanding of the crisis would benefit from such a visit.

Republican National Committee Co-Chairwoman Lara Trump detailed a tactic she said illegal immigrants are using to cross over the border, which involves using “the same child” repeatedly for different crossings.
Trump recently toured the southern border to see the border crisis herself, during which she “learned a lot.” She explained that the number of women who are sexually assaulted while crossing the border is close to over 50%, a “much higher” number than what is reported.
“I learned a term ‘recycled child,’ that’s a child that the Border Patrol sees four, five, six, maybe even seven times,” Trump said on Fox News’s Hannity. “The same child coming over the border with different military-aged men so that those men can get into our country illegally.”
The RNC co-chairwoman also detailed the reversal on border security that Vice President Kamala Harris, “the border czar,” has taken since entering office, including not turning on “high-tech cameras” Trump’s father-in-law, former President Donald Trump, installed during his presidency. She added that “the most egregious” inaction by Harris is that the gaps in the former president’s border wall already have the necessary materials to secure them, but the vice president refuses to take action.

“To see it with my own eyes, as Morgan and I did yesterday in the middle of the night, was something I’ll never forget,” Lara Trump said. “And I wish Kamala Harris would go and take that trip, but I don’t think we’ll hold our breath on that.”
Last month, House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-TN), along with Reps. Clay Higgins (R-LA) and Dan Bishop (R-NC) wrote in a letter to HHS Deputy Assistant Secretary Robin Dunn Marcos that their oversight of HHS was warranted due to the committee’s jurisdiction over border matters and the Biden administration’s failures to manage children in custody.
Newly released polling data revealed that 54% of respondents said they “strongly” or “somewhat” support the mass deportation of illegal immigrants, a policy the former president’s campaign has promoted in his 2024 presidential bid.
The data also found that 39% of respondents called immigration a top concern for this election, coming behind inflation at 57%. Respondents believe the former president would do a better job handling immigration than Harris by 10%, with the split coming at 44%-34%.
