U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) has joined with three other GOP senators, Senators Joni Ernst (R-IA), Thom Tillis (R-NC), and Mike Rounds (R-SD) to introduce the “End Child Trafficking Now Act.”
Blackburn’s office stated in a press release, “The bill requires DHS to deport alien adults if they refuse a DNA test and mandates a maximum 10-year prison sentence for all alien adults who fabricate family ties or guardianship over a minor. It also criminalizes ‘child recycling,’ which happens when the same child is used repeatedly to gain entry by alien adults who are neither relatives nor legal guardians. If family ties or legal guardianship cannot be proven with the accompanying adult, the Act requires HHS to process the child as an unaccompanied minor under current law.”
