The kids selling candy and panhandling in the streets of New York City, and doing worse things, begin here.

During the Trump administration, the media whipped up hysteria over ‘kids in cages’. But when you don’t separate kids being smuggled across the border what you end up with is a massive trafficking explosion.

This is just one example of what’s taking place across the border.

Mexico’s immigration agency announced late Friday night that it found 491 migrants stashed in a compound on the side of the highway east of Mexico.

Of the migrants, 277 of them were children or adolescents — most of whom were traveling with relatives.

However 52 of the minors were unaccompanied, the agency said.

All but six were from Guatemala — the others were from Honduras.

The migrants were being held in a walled compound outside of the city of Puebla along a popular smuggling route.

Smugglers in Mexico frequently hide migrants at such compounds until they can board buses or trucks to the US border.

Thousands of these so-called “unaccompanied children” are being “released to sponsors” in Texas alone by the Biden administration.

What happens to them later, who knows?

The human trafficking is happening right under our eyes and taking place under the guise of human rights.
