age men’ use children to cross border

Lara Trump, Co-Chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, recently visited the southern border to witness the ongoing border crisis firsthand. During her visit, she highlighted alarming statistics regarding the sexual assault of women attempting to cross the border, noting that the rate is significantly higher than reported, with over 50% of women facing such violence. She introduced the term 'recycled child,' referring to instances where the same child is used multiple times by different military-aged men to facilitate illegal crossings. This tactic raises serious concerns about the exploitation of children in these situations. Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her lack of action on border security, particularly regarding the high-tech cameras installed during the previous administration that remain unused. She pointed out that the gaps in the border wall, which have the necessary materials for completion, are being neglected under Harris's oversight. Trump expressed her hope that Harris would take the time to visit the border to understand the situation better. In a letter to HHS Deputy Assistant Secretary Robin Dunn Marcos, House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green and other representatives emphasized the need for oversight of the handling of children in custody, citing failures by the Biden administration. This highlights the ongoing political tensions surrounding immigration policy and border management. Recent polling indicates that a significant portion of the public supports mass deportation of illegal immigrants, reflecting the sentiments that are shaping the political landscape as the former president campaigns for the 2024 election.
