“Madam Speaker, as we speak, at President Biden's behest, thousands of migrants are crossing our border illegally and being detained in facilities that are well over capacity. Besides the many adults, the real victims are the thousands of unaccompanied migrant children, many being sent by drug cartels to this country. These children are often used by cartels to smuggle drugs or money, and many are being sold into essential slavery with the promise of easy and safe passage to the U.S. Does the President not care about the problem of juvenile human trafficking occurring at the border?

Even CNN is calling this a crisis. I urge the Biden administration to admit this is a crisis and fix the problem it has caused. ____________________”
