The outsourcing of duties to private contractors allows the government to distance itself from the child-trafficking operation proliferating right under its nose.

At a high level, the movement of minors across the U.S.-Mexico border is easy to understand. Children arrive at the border and are moved to where they have “family.” Like most U.S. government bureaucracies, the process is much more complex, fraught with incompetence, and no one can be held accountable.

Massive government contracts doled out to private military contractors and nonprofits hide the sheer ineptitude of these policies. The common thread of these programs is they are being outsourced from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Health and Human Services (HHS) to contractors. This allows the agencies to distance themselves from their policies while no one is held accountable. Human-smuggling operations exploit the immigration process, dropping a child at the border and taking custody of them in the U.S. This is why DHS cannot account for over 320,000 children who have entered the U.S.

The Supply Chain

A source within the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) states the children are being coached by the traffickers on what to do and say when they reach the border. If an individual claims to be under the age of 14, CBP is not required to ask them for documentation or fingerprint them. They are given a point of contact in the U.S. who is part of the smuggling ring and told to inform CBP their parents are in the U.S. Knowing CBP cannot confirm this, the kids are processed through the border.

Once a minor reaches the border, it becomes a race against time. By regulation, CBP can only hold a minor for 72 hours so the logistics operation starts immediately.
