Many migrant children will end up in sex trafficking in the midst of a surge in illegal immigration along the U.S.-Mexico border, said Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick.

“They are sending children into this country having no idea where they are going to end up,” Patrick told Fox News, referring to the burgeoning number of migrant children arriving at the border without any parental supervision. “And some of these children are going to end up in sex trafficking. When they take these kids and send them to Uncle Bob in New Jersey, wherever it may be.”
