Heard Rodas interviewed a couple of days ago. According to her, child trafficking on the border is unbelievable. The Mexican Cartels are deeply involved and they are making a lot of money.

A typical scenario is this:

1. The Cartels pay recruiters to find the young people and they pay coyotes to get them across the Border.
2. The kids are coached what to tell Border Patrol agents.
3. Once they get kicked to HHS, the kids produce a card with their "relative's" name and address. HHS deliver the kids to their "relative".
4. Once there, the kids are basically bond servants until their passage debt is paid. That work can consist of sex work, construction or field work or drug work. Whatever they do, they are forced to do it, until they can't (very bad for them) or the debt is paid.

Most of these kids believe the recruiter lies and have no idea what they are getting into. And once it it, there is no escape.

The Biden Administration knows this is going on. They just don't care.
