In fairness, they aren't bringing documentation, and you can't leave children mixed with adult criminals. Especially not when most of them are not even related to the adults trying to use them as cover, drug mules, or sex slaves.
For a second here I wasn’t sure if you were talking about the kids in the cages or the kids who are sex slaves. Either way though- asides both involving kids I don’t really see a relationship between the two- behind some vague implication that they are farming kids being detained at the border for sex trafficking- which... could happen but logically just seems like more work and liability.
*to preface- I do not condone child sex, sex slavery etc, OR the way children and immigrants are being handled. That’s another discussion though- but...
There are places in the world you can literally buy a human being. It’s not even that expensive. Most middle class Americans could buy a person, and lower class if they saved up. It’s not even that hard. And if you were going to kidnap sex slaves- why would you do it out of a government holding area with media and watchdogs all over it? Just go to a poor country that isn’t in the news all the time- or is and no one really pays attention to- and get you some kids. The only advantage really to grabbing kids out of the cages is that they are already here so you don’t have to rent a shipping container.
But if you’re catering to the rich and powerful elite with any sex service- you don’t just grab whatever is the low hanging fruit. You’re going to want to inspect and choose individuals you feel will be attractive to your customers. So it’s all still gross and repugnant- but it seems less likely that rich pedophiles are using border agents as pimps and more likely that rich and powerful people just don’t give a shit about more than what they want as a rule.
Oh no, I'm saying that those kids caught at the border are likely not brought by actual relatives, so much as they're being used as a cover for adult criminals, to transport drugs, to be forced into prostitution, or any combination thereof. As such, we cannot detain them with adults who are unknowns, or with ones who introduced themselves to the United States as criminals.
Maybe elite fuckers are picking their own stock of slaves and victims from them, but I'm disinclined to believe that ICE and Border Patrol would be largely ignorant or complicit in such a thing.
