U.S. Representative Lance Gooden (R-TX) reintroduced a bill last week to help reduce migrant “child recycling” to bypass immigration policies and cut down on child-trafficking practices. The bill became necessary after the Biden administration ended a policy put in place by then-President Donald Trump to test the familial relationship between a migrant and a child.
“Every child deserves protection, particularly those most vulnerable,” Congressman Gooden said in a written statement. “The exploitation of underage aliens by human traffickers is one of the most sickening results of the border crisis. This legislation will ensure that young children are no longer viewed as ‘skip the line’ tickets by cartel members.”
The Biden administration quietly canceled CBP contracts for familial DNA testing of migrants and children at the border, NumbersUSA reported. A CBP memo published by Just the News in May revealed.
