Religious needs at more than 100 shelters in 12 states while case workers look for adult sponsors to take them. But theres a terrible untold story. Its whats happening to thousands of the youths once they begin their new life. Instead of the american dream, theirs are broken dreams. Commissioner kerlikowske when i first took office in march of 2014, i was down in texas within a week, and that was the summer that we had well over 60,000 young people turn themselves in, mostly in mcallen, texas. Sharyl Border Patrol commissioner gil kerlikowske. Were you shocked to see it climb to those levels . Commissioner kerlikowske to go into a Border Patrol station and see kids sleeping in every possible corner on concrete without the resources of food services, health care, etc. , and to see those Border Patrol agents trying to feed those kids, and bringing clothes home from their own kids to give to them was pretty amazing. Sharyl they came and are still coming from mexico, el salvador, guatemala, and honduras. Rep. Cuellar you have unaccompanied kids fleeing very dangerous areas, like honduras and other places, because of the drug violence, and the very highest murder rates in the world. And theyre trying to flee that violence. Sharyl thousands walk across the Mexican Border with no parent or legal guardian, right into congressman Henry Cuellars home district in laredo, texas. He says the feds tried to keep the staggering extent of the problem under wraps. Can you tell me how you learned about that and what the influx has been . Rep. Cuellar actually, i got provided some photos by one of my friends that works on the border. And we provided those photos, and that basically broke the story. Homeland doesnt tell local communities whats happening. Sharyl since 2011, more than 125,000 unaccompanied minors from Central America have been allowed to illegally cross into the u. S. But if theres one thing more startling than the number, its the hard truth about where some of them are going. Now theyve learned some of them have gone into the hands of abusers and criminals . Rep. Cuellar exactly. Sharyl the disturbing information was first exposed when unidentified whistleblowers contacted senator chuck grassley. One whistleblower apparently told your office, out of a sample of 29,000 adults allowed to take these children, 3,400 had known criminal histories, thats about 1 in 8. Arent the sponsors supposed to undergo background checks . Sen. Grassley they are and they arent doing it. Theyre telling us they dont have time. Well, its the governments responsibility to be responsible for the safety of these people, and you wouldnt tolerate it in any other environment, you surely shouldnt tolerate it even for undocumented workers. Sharyl in late 2014, example of what can go wrong. Eight illegal immigrant boys and two adults were being forced to live in dirty, unsafe trailers and work 12hour days at an egg farm in marion, ohio. Arthur carp was a neighbor. Arthur you would not live in em, i guarantee ya. Holes in the wall, holes in the floor, and just filthy and work 12hour days at an egg roaches. Filthy. Sharyl it turns out this illegal immigrant from guatemala was part of a Human Trafficking network preying on the illegal children. The government had released the youths to her after she falsely claimed to be a family friend. She took their paychecks and sent the money to coconspirators. In all, six plead guilty in the case, including five foreigners four of them Illegal Immigrants. Arthur these kids were terrified, they had them lined up against the trailer when they raided, i felt sorry for them, because they were crying. Sharyl the egg farm managers werent charged. They said they had n trafficking people. Health and human services, hhs, has handed illegal immigrant children over to convicted felons in the u. S. , according to a source with access to department of Homeland Security information assault, sexual offense against a child, even homicide. Sen. Claire mccaskill i find the situation in front of us today unacceptable and i am disgusted and angry. Sharyl at a hearing earlier this year, Claire Mccaskill and other senators were outraged by the marion, ohio egg farm case and other examples they uncovered. A child from guatemala fleeing sexual abuse was forced to work as a cashier in the u. S. And pay her guardian 1600 a month. A 16yearold was released to someone in the u. S. Who claimed to be her cousin, but turned out to be no relation and forced her into sex. A child from el salvador was released to an adult in the u. S. Who had abused him before and continued the abuse, while forcing him to w janitor. Senator rob portman. Sen. Rob portman its intolerable that Human Trafficking, really modern day slavery, could occur in our own backyard in the 21st century, but it does. What makes this marion case even more alarming is that a u. S. Government agency was actually responsible for delivering some of the victims into the hands of the abusers. Sen. Mccaskill when a child is admitted into our country, the United States of america should be an example to the world about how we care for those children sharyl hhs assistant secretary Mark Greenberg admitted the agency has no idea how many children its placed with convicted felons. But he promised that gaps are being fixed. Assistant sec. Greenberg child safety is a priority for us. We are committed to making, continuing to make revisions to learn all that we can from this and our ongoing experiences in operating the program. Sharyl concern is heightened with the current surge in unaccompanied minors. In one region, the numbers are up more than 500 over the same period a year ago. In just five months, from october through february, nearly 3,000 came into the tucson, arizona border sector. Almost 14,000 more in rio grande, texas. Sen. Grassley and the government creates the problem by inviting these people in, or at least not doing anything to keep em out, and then they come here, and theres so many of them that the government cant house em, so they want to get em out of sight, out of mind as fast as they can, so just get em some place. Sharyl congressman cuellar says the true number of illegal juveniles coming to the u. S. Without parents is even bigger than weve counted. Thats because some human traffickers arrange for people to fake the role of parent and sneak children in. Admitted she paid smugglers 13,000, flew to mexico city where she was paired with a child, and they crossed illegally into the u. S. With her pretending to be the mother. Today, the whereabouts of the child is unknown. Hhs greenberg says the government is doing everything it can to ensure the kids are safe. Assistant sec. Greenberg most children are placed with a parent. We only turn to Family Friends if there is no suitable parent or relative and, in all cases, when we make placements, we seek to balance the importance of timely release with safeguards, which are designed to maximize safety. Sharyl at a hearing, hhs assured congress that its shoring up the gaps and fixing its problems. Have you been satisfied with the answers the government has provided to date . Sen. Grassley absolutely not. If they arent gonna do background investigations, and we dont have any indication they are, they arent doing their job. Sharyl paul beeson is a top customs and Border Protection official in arizona. He says agents are prepared for the latest onslaught. Mr. Beeson i think were better positioned to handle the phenomenon now to where were not going to be overwhelmed by it. But it is something that continues to occur. Rep. Cuellar once they come in, i think we have an obligation as a country to make sure that those juveniles dont go from a very difficult situation into the hands of somebody that can take advantage of them. And i think we need to do a better job at making sure that we ensure the safety of those kids. Sharyl to help make that happen, cuellar says he plans to push for legislation in the coming months. The hhs Agency Responsible for the kids, the office of refugee resettlement, spent 948 million tax dollars in 2015. It will spend another 948 million this year serving the illegal children. Ahead on full measure when a controversial film is pulled from a prestigious festival some claim censorship. About who controls what you see, or dont see, in theatres. Sharyl the sudden withdrawal of a film from the prestigious tribeca Film Festival in new york touched off debate over a hot topic the increasing effort to control what the public sees. Is it censorship . And who gets to decide . Sparked the controversy is vaxxed. Oh my god, i cannot believe we did what we did. But we did. Sharyl its the story of a cdc scientist who says he and senior colleagues hid links between autism and mmr vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella, particularly in africanamerican boys. Sheila so i call the clinic and i said i think my childs had adverse reaction to those shots yesterday and she said, no, no, no, no, im waiting for a representative from merck. I dont think it was a reaction to that. Sharyl the accused cdc officials deny wrongdoing and powerful interests have led a fierce campaign to stop the film. Last month, under pressure, tribeca Film Festival cofounder Robert De Niro withdrew plans to show it. Mr. De niro i think the movie is something that people should see. There was a backlash that i will fully explore and i didnt want it affecting the festival in ways that i couldnt see. Sharyl del bigtree produced vaxxed. Del what the people have just seen with vaxxed being pulled from tribeca is censorship. Its the power of corporations over media. Sharyl the whole episode has ignited a larger debate over control of ideas in the media. American University ProfessorPatricia Aufderheide teaches about documentaries and says some ideas should be suppressed. She defends the decision to stop vaxxed in part because she claims its scientifically inaccurate though it should be pointed out she hasnt seen it. Mr. De niro i think the movie is something that people should see. Who gets to decide whats accurate and what should be shown . Prof. Aufderheide so is this the im not a scientist argument . Sharyl im just asking the question. Prof. Aufderheide the answer is that we, we expect to learn something from the considered process of science, and, at some point, we believe that we actually know things. We believe, based on science, that Climate Change is real and every time that we think about it. Sharyl well, people dont agree on that point, but prof. Aufderheide they dont agree because they dont accept that science is a process of learning things. Libby that doesnt make any sense to me whatsoever. Thats a very closed and narrow way of thinking about things. Sharyl Libby Handros is among the awardwinning filmmakers who complain that special interests, corporations, and sponsors too often find ways to block their work. That includes some of her own films this one 25years ago about donald trump. Nothing marked the end of the 1980s, the decade of greed, more than the downfall of donald trump. Sharyl and more recently, her documentary about wind power. Why not put it there . Clearly, it was underestimated. Libby its not as free and open as wed like to think it is. Sharyl vaxxed is not the first to face obstacles in trying to get distributed. Libby no, its not and they wont be the last one, unfortunately. Prof. Miller i mean, when works get killed, people find reasons to justify the murder. They do. Sharyl Mark Crispin Miller is a professor of media studies at new york university. Prof. Miller this is what makes this kind of in explicit censorship so effective. It isnt like the state, you know, tromping in and saying you cant do this, not the chinese way, you know. Its the american way and it leaves no fingerprints, you see, so people dont even know that stuff has been censored and thats actually the most, worst, kind of censorship. The most worrisome kind of censorship. Sharyl do you consider it censorship if a Film Festival decides not to run a film . Prof. Aufderheide do you consider it censorship if you decide to pick up a topic rather than another one for your tv show . Sharyl Philip Nelson is director of the manhattan Film Festival, which picked up vaxxed after it was dropped by tribeca. Whats your view of what should festival . Philip well, i dont think a Film Festival should be the mainstream media. I think an independent Film Festival should be something that gives filmmakers an opportunity to express their views and thoughts without worrying about what, what sponsors, or what certain groups think. Del were worried every time we get into a festival, every time we get into a theater, that it will buckle under the pressure. I think most of this is just sort of hired bloggers that try to scare a theater. Theyll say that theres going to be picketing, theres going to be violence. None of it happens. I mean, if you look around here, theres no picketers. Everybodys totally peaceful. So i think its mostly imaginary. Sharyl a lot of them think this is the very place where alternate viewpoints, and maybe minority viewpoints, should be heard. Prof. Aufderheide im all for a range of viewpoints, thats terrific. Im not for deliberate misinformation on something that is a settled issue. Sharyl vaxxed has been cancelled, under pressure, from additional venues, but also picked up by theatres in at least do still ahead, a fascinating investigation into one of americas most famous photographs. For 70 years, his father was said to be one of the soldiers seen in the flagraising photo on iwo jima. It turns out he might not have been in that picture at all. Well talk to the son about the unfolding mystery. Sharyl in february 1945, u. S. Marines landed on the japanese island of iwo jima. It was the beginning of five weeks some of the fiercest and most deadly fighting in the pacific during world war ii. Days into the battle, ap Photographer Joe Rosenthal took a series of photographs on the top of Mount Suribachi after the capture of that key point of the island. One pulitzer prizewinning image made six men, five marines and Navy Corpsmen john bradley, national heroes. Now there are questions about both the photo and the historical account. Scott James Bradley all my life we, we were told that my father was in the middle of the most reproduced photo in the history of photography. The key was he wouldnt talk about it. He told my mom about seven minutes of information on their first date. Never again in a 47year marriage did he say the words iwo jima. The photo wasnt part of his life, wasnt part of our life. Scott it wasnt until after his father died that James Bradley even read a book about iwo jima. And then he wrote his own, the bestseller flags of our fathers. The book became a movie. James horrible, blood battles, and it was just yardbyyard fighting. Scott john bradley, a navy corpsman, was awarded the navy cross for his heroism on iwo jima. James he saved a marines live, ran through 35 yards of merciless japanese gunfire, his citation said. And dragged a guy back with the japa scott after five days of brutal combat the marines took mt. Suribachi. James they got to the base of the mountain the morning of february 23rd. They uh, uh a 40man patrol went up first. They put up a flag, that was the first flag raising on iwo jima. Scott that flagraising was captured by a marine photographer. Then came a call for a second flag. James the colonel down below said, hey, i want that as a souvenir, get me another flag, make it bigger. And then they put up the second flag on iwo jima. Scott ap Photographer Joe Rosenthal had summited the mountain just in time. James he swung his camera, he got an accidental shot. That shot americans fell in love with, and that second shot has overshadowed the first flag raising. Look at the photo. Its a beautiful photo. It hit the front page of the new yorkimes, all of our newspapers. Scott ihi week. This time with news that the marines had opened an investigation into whether john bradley was in that famous photo after all. James my fathers injured in a hospital bed in hawaii two months after the battle, and the marines come to him and say, see this picture . He says, yeah, nice picture. Wheres that from . They could have said it from australia or sicily or whatever. They said, thats from iwo jima, thats you. He goes, oh, well, i raised a flag, i guess thats me. So, of course, he believed he was in that flag raising photo. Scott in 2002, long after john bradley had died, the marines released neverbeforeseen photos of that first flag raising ceremony from a new angle. James well, you not only can see my dad, you can see his whole body shoes to the head. And uh, so we realized, wow, my dad raised the first flag on iwo jima. Scott bradley updated his book, believing that his dad had participated in both flag raisings. But, now, bradley has accepted have recently pointed out that his father wasnt in the most famous photograph of world war ii. James they started comparing what my dad was wearing on the first flag raising, which is definitely john bradley, to the figure thats supposed to be john bradley in the second flag raising, and it didnt match up. Scott a revelation that must still be difficult to process. James theres a monument, they spent millions of dollars building a monument that says john bradley. Since i was three years old, you know, i mean, he was in a movie with john wayne, hes been in the photo his whole life, so were talking about a small technicality. If you open up the photo, my dad is right there. Hes right next to these guys. Theyre all dealing with each other. So my father was up there. He won the navy cross. He saved guys lives, hes a hero of iwo jima, so not much has changed, but a small technicality has changed. Scott there is one fact that we know about the six men in
