This is some internet nonsense. The argument is that with the passage of immigrants across the southern border illegally comes human trafficking. And with trafficking come child exploitation. All of which has a degree of truth. However, where they run off of the rails is claiming Biden is running a human trafficking ring. Obviously he is not same as any other official with trafficking happening in their district, whether they are a police chief, mayor governor etc.
Here’s an example of how this stuff works on the right. There really is no rhyme or reason but if you are fixated on a group (politicians, Hollywood, science) you call them pedophiles and make up weird claims.
- During George H. W. Bush's administration Mexican human traffickers smuggle children across the border for exploitation in record numbers.
- During Bill Clinton's administration Mexican human traffickers smuggle children across the border for exploitation in record numbers.
- During George W. Bush's administration Mexican human traffickers smuggle children across the border for exploitation in record numbers.
- During Barack Obama's administration Mexican human traffickers smuggle children across the border for exploitation in record numbers.
- During Donald Trump's administration Mexican human traffickers smuggle children across the border for exploitation in record numbers.
- During Joe Biden's administration Mexican human traffickers smuggle children across the border for exploitation in record numbers.
If Joe Biden "is running the largest child exploitation/human trafficking operation in history". Then all of these previous Presidents also ran "the largest child exploitation/human trafficking operation in history" based on the numbers at the time when they were in office. Each administration broke the previous record -- but all of these Presidents win the title at their time in office.
The above shows the stupidity of this right-wing talking point about the Biden administration.
