Rep. Luna Introduces a Bill for DNA Testing at the Southern Border to Combat Child Trafficking and Fake Migrant Families
Congresswoman seeks to address the Biden administration's failures
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna introduced two immigration bills that are designed to substantially increase penalties for employers who hire ineligible workers and to crack down on fake migrant families crossing the southern border.
In a press release issued on Friday, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13) announced the introduction of a legislative package that is designed to address the hiring of illegal migrants and child trafficking in the United States.
“Today, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13) introduced a legislative package that aims to combat child trafficking and the hiring of illegal migrants in our country,”
The initial legislation, known as the Family Reunification Act, requires the conduct of swift DNA testing for all families who are detained at the U.S.-Mexico border. This measure aims to reestablish a policy that was previously enforced during the Trump administration but was discontinued under Joe Biden, with the objective of verifying familial relationships and preventing child trafficking.
Rep. Luna posted on X:
“DNA rapid testing works, and it’s time to bring it back for every ‘family’ crossing the border. Until that happens, the U.S. government is complicit in trafficking. Under Joe Biden’s watch, over 85,000 children have gone missing. We need accountability,”
Under Luna's legislation, the child would be isolated from the adult for their safety while federal investigators investigate the reason for the child's smuggling, provided that DNA testing determines that the two are not related. This information was reported by the Washington Examiner.
The press release is below:
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Tara Lee Rodas, a whistleblower who volunteered for the Joe Biden administration, testified that she discovered that “children are being trafficked through a sophisticated network that begins with recruiting in [their] home country, smuggling to the U.S. border, and ends when ORR delivers a child to a sponsor. Some sponsors are criminals and traffickers … some sponsors view children as commodities and assets to be used for earning income. This is why we are witnessing an explosion of labor trafficking.”
The Federal Human Trafficking Report estimated that in 2018, 51.6% of the human trafficking cases active in the United States were sex trafficking cases involving only children. In June 2023 alone, the Biden administration released more than 340 migrant kids to live with nonrelatives and from 2021 to 2023, Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services could not locate more than 85,000 children they had sent to live with sponsors. Last year, the Department of Labour investigated reports of migrant children who were being used to clean slaughterhouses. Furthermore, The New York Times spoke to over 100 migrant child workers who described their jobs as “grinding them into exhaustion” and that they had “become trapped in circumstances they never could have imagined.”
These examples show the exploitation of children in our country and how the Biden administration has actively contributed to making it worse. Congresswoman Luna will continue using all available resources to end these horrifying practices while shedding light on these issues.
