‘End the Narco Slave Trade’

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) hasn’t been coy about placing responsibility for the humanitarian disaster at our southern border squarely on the shoulders of the Biden-Harris Administration.

RedState’s Jerry Wilson previously reported on a tweet from Senator Cruz with video, detailing the horrors of the human trafficking endemic to a porous border with lax enforcement against the cartels.

Cruz provided a detailed explanation of the grisly methods that traffickers use to hold thousands upon thousands of migrants under perpetual bonds in a video he tweeted on Wednesday.

Cruz explained:

What I’m holding in my hands are the wristbands that just about everyone who crosses wears. They come in a variety of colors. The colors correspond to the number of thousands of dollars illegal immigrants owe cartels. They are represented by different colors that indicate how much debt they have.

Don’t think of these as pieces of plastic. Think of these as leg irons…worn by slaves.

So when the kids get here — the teenage boys — the Biden administration will transport to cities all over the country. You might think if you don’t live on the border, you’re not in a border city. You’d be mistaken. Whatever city you’re in, the Biden administration is sending teenagers who owe Mexican drug cartels thousands of dollars. They must pay this money, or they will lose their family. These illegal immigrants work for cartels across America.

The boys are able to do a lot more than girls because many teenage girls end up in sex slaves to help pay their cartel debts.

Cruz kept going (holding on to a small group):

This wristband in particular is chilling because it is obviously the size of a child’s hand. I don’t know how old the child was that was wearing this wristband. But it hasn’t been broken, so her hand or his hand was small enough to slip this off without even breaking it.

This chaos — the crime, the misery, the abuse — it is inhumane, it’s horrific, and it’s wrong.

Cruz doesn’t stop with laying out the horrors, though. He puts all the blame where it belongs.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are responsible for the worst plague of slavery in America…since the Civil War.

These are harsh words but highlight the reality of the inevitability of flawed policies which encourage illegal immigration and the human trafficking and drug trade that go with it. They also disincentivize the respect of sovereign borders and legal migration.

If this administration wanted to make the situation worse — if they wanted the system to be overwhelmed — what else would they be doing?
