US Decries UK Grooming Gangs, Ignores Its Own Child Trafficking Crisis
Fox News reports the US State Department, under the Biden administration, has issued a 'warning' to the UK regarding its handling of child grooming gangs. The article highlights 'unspeakable abuse' and suggests a moral failing across the pond. This concern for foreign children, however, strikes a peculiar note when considering the US has failed to account for thousands of unaccompanied migrant
children referred to sponsors, with many reportedly ending up in forced labor or trafficking situations right here in America. (A 2023 New York Times investigation detailed these horrific findings, particularly focusing on the Biden administration's response.) Perhaps before lecturing allies, the State Department should ensure no child disappears into a nightmare within its own jurisdiction, a
crisis that has drawn little congressional outrage or 'warnings' from Foggy Bottom. The irony is so thick, you could spread it on a border wall.
