Human traffickers smuggling women and children at the behest of international drug cartels into the United States will face the death penalty under a new Donald Trump administration, the former president said.
Vowing to ramp up measures taken in his first term combatting human trafficking, Trump said he’ll redouble his efforts to secure the southern border and “end modern day slavery.”
“When I am back in the White House, I will immediately end the Biden border nightmare that traffickers are using to exploit vulnerable women and children,” Trump said. “We will fully secure the border. I will wage war on the cartels just as I destroyed the ISIS caliphate, 100 percent gone, 100 percent destroyed.“
Trump added he’d also introduce a new policy reuniting trafficked children with their families and impose capital punishment for traffickers.
“I will use Title 42 to end the child trafficking crisis by returning all trafficked children to their families, in their home countries, and without delay. And I will urge Congress to ensure that anyone caught trafficking children across our border receives the death penalty immediately, and that includes also for women.”
Trump’s focus on the lucrative illicit smuggling trade comes as he’s also criticized deadly violence spilling into the US via the open southern border, blaming the Biden administration for an illegal alien crimewave leaving innocent Americans dead in its wake.
