Blanche and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin in a news conference on Thursday discussed current efforts the government is undertaking to protect migrant children who come to

hundreds of thousands of children were illegally brought into the country during the Biden administration and that many of those children were abused by those smuggling them. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen government fails to protect our borders,\u201d said Blanche, \u201cit is the most vulnerable who suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis department and this administration,\u201d Blanche continued, \u201chas zero tolerance for unlawful activity and is committed to protecting children who suffered the consequences of open borders.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>3 individuals indicted for allegedly smuggling children <\/h3>\n<p>As he addressed reporters, Blanche announced the indictment of three individuals in Ohio for allegedly smuggling children into the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll three are illegal aliens from Guatemala,\u201d said Blanche, \u201cwho allegedly took part in a wide-ranging conspiracy to smuggle more than a dozen children into the United States by scamming the system and exploiting the loopholes created by the last administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is one indictment, but it is not unique,\u201d continued Blanche. \u201cThere are over 15,500 super sponsor cases that we have identified along with DHS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A super sponsor is a person within the United States who sponsors more than three children, to whom they are not related, to cross the border unaccompanied. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe border will be secure, innocent children will be protected, and sponsors should be properly vetted,\u201d Blanche said.<\/p>\n<h3>Reversing Biden-era immigration trends<\/h3>\n<p>Blanche detailed the efforts the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security are taking to account for the unaccompanied children brought into the U.S. illegally. <\/p>\n<p>Blanche said the Justice Department is \u201cpunishing those who exploited the system and smuggled unaccompanied children across the border in the previous administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blanche claimed that, during the Biden administration, more than 475,000 unaccompanied children entered the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a

this happened,\u201d Blanche continued, \u201cwas typically because criminals, calling themselves sponsors, trafficked these children to the border, usually committing fraud to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOftentimes the children were abused, assaulted, and certainly exploited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t go and hire forensic accountants or rock star federal agents to find out the data,\u201d Blanche said, \u201cso there were individuals occupying positions of leadership in this country that knew this was happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blanche said that the Trump administration is committed to protecting children who were brought into the country illegally. <\/p>\n<h3>Mullin on abuses of migrant children <\/h3>\n<p>Mullin reiterated the difficulties that unaccompanied migrant children have faced. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of these kids,\u201d said the DHS secretary, \u201cclaim that they were raped 600-700 times.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Mullin also said that the Biden administration had reports showing that more than a third of the girls brought to the border were sexually assaulted before crossing into the United States.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAs a father of six with three young girls, I&#8217;ll do whatever I have to do.
