Here's how much Congress actually cares about children at the border

Here's how much Congress actually cares about children at the border

'Do we hate one person more than we love rescuing children?'

On Wednesday's radio program, Glenn Beck sat down with Tim Ballard, who is CEO of Operation Underground Railroad, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing an end to child sex trafficking. As a former special agent for the Department of Homeland Security's Crimes Against Children task force, Tim has fought firsthand against the evils of child trafficking for decades.

Tim talked about his recent testimony before the United States Congress and how they refused to listen to his common sense solutions to stop sex traffickers from smuggling of children across the US - Mexico border.

"What's happening is just overwhelmingly evil," Glenn said. "You went to Congress prepared to give them two solutions. They didn't want to hear it. So, you never were allowed to even present these?"

"I was not allowed to, no," Tim said.

"It was clearly a political thing," he added. "I've been open about the fact that barriers — we're not supposed to say the word 'walls' — but barriers of any kind clearly force traffic to ports of entry. And my No. 1 concern is children. I know how many children are smuggled or trafficked through wall-less or barrier-less parts of the border, so let's force the trafficker to go to where police or customs officials are, and they are trained to look for children. It's a very simple concept."

He called for "the good people on both sides" of the political aisle to set politics aside and agree that saving these children is more important.

"Do we hate one person more than we love rescuing children?" Tim asked. "It's very discouraging."
