BORDER CRISIS: Biden Continues to Fail Victims of Human Trafficking

January 6, 2022 By Richard C. Young

LAREDO, TEXAS – U.S. Border Patrol agents apprehended another large number of individuals inside a tractor-trailer during a failed human smuggling attempt in north Laredo, for the second time this week. July 15, 2020. Photo provided by: U.S. Customs and Border Protection

The first year of Joe Biden’s occupancy in the White House has seen a crisis develop at America’s southern border, with immigrants streaming across in droves as Biden’s policies hamper border patrol agents in their efforts to protect American borders. Hidden among the hordes of economic migrants coming across the border are human traffickers and their victims. Former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director Thomas Homan explained to Fox News just how bad Biden is doing:

“When you don’t take immigration enforcement on the border seriously, and you don’t take immigration enforcement seriously in the interior, human trafficking is going to expand and a lot of people are going to get away with it because there isn’t a focus on it,” former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director Thomas Homan told Fox News on Tuesday.

“When you increase the number of people being smuggled, the increase in trafficking goes along with that, so if they’re really, really serious not just about addressing and reacting to trafficking, if they’re really serious about trying to prevent it, they’d secure our borders,” former acting Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan said in an interview Wednesday.

A former senior ICE official told Fox News there needs to be more coordination between agencies amid the crisis and the criminal enterprises are taking advantage of the situation.

“A traffic victim can be smuggled and a smugglee can turn into a trafficking victim so we need to be more coordinated on how we do this,” they said.

“You have victims out there that are not being rescued because we’re not even focusing on immigration.”

The White House’s national plan notes that human trafficking does not require a border (or movement) at all, but also that “individuals who are smuggled are vulnerable to becoming victims of human trafficking and other serious crime.”

The report also says that Mexico is the top origin country in human trafficking cases involving foreign national victims in which the United States is the destination. It cites recent cases in which young victims were trafficked by enterprises linked to a region in Central Mexico, and then smuggled into the U.S. and forced into sex acts in New York, Atlanta and elsewhere in the U.S.

The Biden administration has been rocked by the crisis at the border, which has seen more than 100,000 migrant encounters, and sometimes more than double that, each month. There has been a focus on quickly processing migrants into the interior rather than keeping them in border facilities.

The crisis is leading, the former DHS officials said, to not only more victims being trafficked, but also agents who are overwhelmed and therefore less likely to be able to spot someone being trafficked. They said that with agents having less time to speak to victims, it is harder to identify them, particularly children who would once have been DNA tested to see if they are related to those adults bringing them across as an alleged family unit.

“A lot of people being smuggled, they are being trafficked at the same time, they just don’t know it until it’s too late,” Morgan said.

“What I can tell you is the border being out of control like it is, we don’t know how many potential trafficking victims we have coming in,” the former ICE official said. “I can’t give you specifics, but I can tell you we’ve identified individuals who have come in, become victims of trafficking, or were victims of human trafficking when they crossed the southwest border. The fact that the administration has been doing catch and release like they have has increased the potential to get trafficking victims into the United States.”

Homan said that the administration’s policies are hurting not only Border Patrol’s ability to stop human trafficking, but also ICE’s — which he said has been “decapitated” under Biden and limited from conducting some operations in the interior.
