“Again, you know what I think is disgraceful? That we are going to start discussing someone's livelihood and say, oh, they have an impeccable background. Do you know who doesn't care about their livelihood and impeccable background? How about the kids that have been misplaced, over 100,000, many working in illegal labor jobs. They don't care about her livelihood. They would like to be cared for humanely. How about the children who have been sex trafficked? They don't care about her livelihood or her impeccable background, and I don't either. I care about those children. I think it is disgraceful that this administration continues to allow this kind of policy to be implemented if that is their policy. The vetting requirements that this director put in place facilitates this trafficking and abuse of these children. It is disgraceful.
