Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ) did not mince words during a House Oversight roundtable on the trafficking of children over the southern border under the Biden Administration, saying it "ticks [him] off."
The Scale
Rep. Biggs began by noting that the number of children that the Biden Administration processed over the border and then lost track of continually rose in estimates throughout his time in office, which now sits at approximately 500,000.
More egregiously, Rep. Biggs emphasized, was where these children were allowed to be sent to, including an Orlando strip club and a pedophile.
"So I guess when we start talking about vetting and the lawsuits that came that prevent us from actually doing DNA analysis from anyone under what age, 15, maybe 13," the Arizona congressman asked. "What would that do for us as we try to vet where these kids are going?"
The Fraud
Former Border Patrol Chief Chris Clem said DNA testing is a "game changer" because so many people falsely claimed to be related to migrant children when processed at the border.
After all, the Arizona congressman noted that Clem previously described seeing children who had previously crossed the border being sent back to do so again, except accompanied by different people each time.
Democrats' Silence
Biggs then made a point of noting that no Democrats sat on the roundtable, saying, "If we could see them, they would have to confess and admit that their policies, the policies of the previous administration, put hundreds of thousands of children in danger. We have not recovered all of those children. We do not know if they are dead or alive. We do not know if they have been sex trafficked, if they have been labor trafficked, or, heaven forbid, had their organs harvested."
"This is the kind of thing that goes on, and this group of people on this side of the aisle do not care enough to come here and have an open discussion about what their policies wrought and figure out how to fix it," Biggs concluded, later adding, "and doggone it, this ticks me off."
