Trafficking 1

Our southern border is a problem.  For a long time we've known that non-citizens pour across it almost unimpeded, but now it's been exposed that the border is an enormous source of income for drug and crime cartels.  

Children cross the border alone, without families. It's hard to believe a mom or dad would send their child on that dangerous journey with no protection, but some do. And in some cases the child's been kidnapped or sold to traffickers (per Tim Ballard). 

Another criminal source of income was exposed and explained last week. Illegal immigrants may promise big sums to cartels to get them across the U.S. border, but end up in slavery for sex or labor after they get here. 

Witnessing before the Homeland Security Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, retired border security agent Jaeson Jones calls it "America's new slave trade." He lifts up the wrist bands that identify the "alien smuggling organization" and its victim.

Go to the ZeroGPT website and it explains what they and other companies are doing. I know that Purdue University and others are already using it!
