The Border Crisis: How the US Government Facilitates Child Trafficking

Welcome to our Mindful News Brief series where we discuss highlights from our weekly newsletter with nuance, uncensored investigation, and compassion for all sides. And no matter the topic, we always end our news briefs on an inspiring, constructive note. Let's work together for the greater good.

"The U.S. government has become the middleman in a large scale, multibillion-dollar child trafficking operation that is run by bad actors seeking to profit off of the lives of children." — testimony of Health and Human Services whistleblower Tara Lee Rodas

The partisan culture wars in the media drown out any meaningful discussion of the real and current threats to children safety, human rights, privacy, and local governments when discussing the border and immigration crisis. Through broken border policies, government agencies have become a child trafficking and exploitation service.

These difficult considerations can bring us together across our political differences to ask a few core questions:

• What would real media coverage on this issue look like beyond identity politics and partisan polarization?
• What would real government protection and oversight look like when it comes to vetting the caregivers and sponsors responsible for unaccompanied children?
• Given the shocking child sex trafficking scandals within high levels of government, is it possible that powerful people are somehow benefitting from this situation?
• What would a real humanitarian, compassionate approach look like to the border and immigration crisis?

Disturbing information like this can paradoxically remind us of the greater good. It is the courage of the people and the love for the common good that bring these injustices to light—fueling uncensored dialogue and constructive action.
