Acting Labor Department Secretary Julie Su was grilled by Congress over the trafficking of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) to be used as illegal labor within the United States.
Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) was scathing of the Labor Department’s approach to the issue during a House committee hearing on child migrant labor on June 7.Many of the children were released by federal authorities after they crossed the U.S. southern border and have since disappeared.
Since Joe Biden took office, Health and Human Services (HHS) officials reported having lost contact with most of the 85,000 UACs, after releasing them deep into the interior to those claiming to be adult sponsors.However, it was well known that the overwhelming majority of these so-called sponsors were not their biological parents and that many of these kids were being brutally exploited, reported The New York Times (NYT) in February.
