“Some of you may be sold into sex slavery or child labor, but that is a sacrifice we are willing to make for the greater good”
“The greater good”
From the House Judiciary hearing:
“Rodas, who was detailed with Health and Human Services at an Emergency Intake Site in Pomona, California, told lawmakers about what she experienced on the ground.
I thought I was going to help place children in loving homes. Instead, I discovered that children are being trafficked through a sophisticated network that begins with recruiting in their home country, smuggled to the U.S. border, and ends when [Office of Refugee Resettlement] delivers a child to a sponsor – some sponsors are criminals and traffickers and members of Transnational Criminal Organizations. Some sponsors view children as commodities and assets to be used for earning income – this is why we are witnessing an explosion of labor trafficking," Rodas said”
