this story doesn t get nearly enough attention. so the drug trade and the sex trafficking trade that is being run by the cartels in an open way across our southern border gets literally almost no lip service from the white house, lawrence. there is no coverage from the white house. i think texans like myself as well as ranchers here are saying what happened to joe biden? he was fine when he was a u.s. senator funding border fencing. when they changed it to a wall because of semantics he doesn t want to support it. also why is he up in arizona with their border and not helping texas with its border? we had a plan here in the state of texas to buy the wall material that is sitting there rusting and already paid by the united states taxpayers. the biden administration is so petty they wouldn t sell it to the state of texas. it was already paid for by the u.s. taxpayers and why we are having this conference today. martha: that s pathetic.
trafficking network, so every city in america, you might think i don t live in texas, i m not in the border state. i promise you whatever city you are in, whatever state you are in, you are in a border state because joe biden is flying illegal immigrants to your state and the teenage boys, they show up and have thousands of dollars come the way they paid off as they work for the drug cartels in the criminal cartels and the girls have it worse. they horribly, many of them are trapped in sex slavery. you re looking north and imagining life in america, life and freedom. and you end up coming her parents agreed to pay the cartels and you end up six months later working in a brothel trapped where every day you are in sex slavery trying to
has died. and it is over and over and over again. last year 100,000 come over 100,000 drug overdoses, fentanyl flowing across the border. and the maddening thing is, joe biden and kamala harris and schumer and pelosi could stop this, but they don t want to because it is not in their political interests. sean: they won t even show up or go down and spend time to see themselves. they have not been there. i have been down on the border 15, 14, 15 times whatever. it is sad what you are describing, senator. and i hope that people here, because americans are dying and those that are being told to come here are dying. and they are being raped and then sold into sex slavery and this can be prevented just by controlling the border. senator, thank you for that. it is worth focusing on a second on why joe biden and harris won t go to the border,
that with far too many of them human trafficked into sex slavery. joe biden and kamala harris are responsible for the worst plague of slavery in america since the civil war. steve: that s right. smuggling operation once the rise according to u.s. border patrol and the new york times reports these trafficking enterprises have grown into a $13 billion industry. that s a billion dollars a month, which is way up from 500 million in 2018. joining us right now is the former deputy special agent in charge of homeland security investigations for laredo texas. tim joins us from texas. good morning to you. good morning, steve of course i appreciate you having me on today. we heard from the administration that our southern border is secure, but clearly it s just secure for making sure
trafficked in to sex slavery. joe biden and kamala harris are responsible for the worst plague of slavery in america since the civil war. martha: i don t know how much longer they cannot pay attention to this story. they almost never bring it up or talk about it, senator. the problem is you can t seem to get their attention. you d think with their poll numbers in the tank, this is one of the reasons that people are very president biden s approval ratings are at historic lows. because of inflation, because of crime and because of the border. what ted said is actually it gets worse. because right now the federal government places these unaccompanied children with sponsors and doesn t check up on them to see what has happened to them, whether they re healthy and happy or whether they are being sold in to sex slavery or
