Tim has to go work with Mexican authorities to save these kids trafficked in the US. The kids come over with phone numbers on them. It is assumed, by the US Gov and NGOs that these numbers are their caregivers here in the US, when they are, according to Tim, the actual customers or recipients of the human trafficking package itself, the child.
Over 300,000 children have made the journey across the border and been delivered to sponsors with little to no vetting or background checks by U.S. authorities. Normally, a child found alone in the U.S. would undergo thorough background checks, DNA testing, and not be turned over to anyone unless it was 100% confirmed they were going to their family. Instead, U.S. agencies like Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are sending these unaccompanied children to NGOs, who then call the phone numbers written on the children and send them to whoever claims them, with little vetting. The contractors and NGOs involved are "making millions of dollars" off this system, describing it as a "child trafficking delivery service" funded by taxpayer dollars.
