Two American women were caught smuggling two unaccompanied Mexican girls aged 10 and 12 through a California border checkpoint. The driver lied about crossing from Mexico and failed basic questions about the children’s identities, exposing a blatant child trafficking operation. This case proves cartels and criminals are exploiting our wide-open borders to prey on vulnerable kids.
Border Patrol agents discovered the girls’ fake documents didn’t match their real identities. The women couldn’t name the children’s mother or explain their relationship, showing clear signs of smuggling. Chief Gregory Bovino warned this is how trafficking starts—with heartless criminals using kids as pawns for profit while Biden’s policies greenlight chaos.
Biden’s dismantling of Trump-era security measures has turned the southern border into a playground for human traffickers. Over 147,000 unaccompanied minors crossed last year alone, many funneled into foster care or worse. Weak vetting lets cartels “recycle” children through multiple smuggling runs, putting countless lives at risk.
The El Centro Sector’s Border Patrol team stopped this horror story, but countless others slip through. Bovino’s agents face a nonstop flood of migrants—many with violent criminal histories—while activists and D.C. politicians handcuff their efforts. Americans deserve safety, not apology tours for open borders.
These women now face federal charges for alien smuggling, but real justice requires locking up the cartel bosses fueling this crisis. Until we seal the border and restart Trump’s proven policies, innocent kids will keep suffering. This isn’t immigration—it’s modern-day slavery, enabled by spineless leadership.
Every unaccompanied minor represents a lifetime of trauma: forced labor, sex abuse, or gang recruitment. The left’s “compassion” gets kids raped and murdered while lecturing us about tolerance. Real compassion means defending our borders so families aren’t tricked into sending children with deadly smugglers.
Bovino’s team proves law enforcement can win when allowed to do their jobs. But Biden’s focus on woke politics over border security has agents processing migrants faster than they can screen them. We need more patrols, checkpoints, and deportation flights—not fewer.
Americans must demand an end to catch-and-release and the invasion of unvetted migrants. Build the wall. Deport illegal aliens. Prosecute traffickers. Our children’s safety depends on leaders with the courage to say “no more”—before another life is destroyed by this preventable catastrophe.
