Human trafficking is a very uncomfortable topic for a lot of people.

The article barely scratches the surface. The fact that US policy is to allow millions to come into the country illegally is set up to hide a very dark reality of organized crime and exploitation and abuse of these people who are trapped and without any rights or representation. The future for most of them is indentured servitude, prostitution, drug trafficking, and sometimes worse. Especially venerable are the kids, who are often separated from their parents and taken for labor and/or sexual exploitation.

People seem to prefer that it all stays in the dark, out of sight, and so it infests every community under a shroud of silence and denial. And Americans love the effects of the cheap labor...

We hear a lot of public discussion about the politics of open borders and potential effects on elections, and we sometimes hear about drugs, and about the rest it's crickets.

About a year ago when Veritas was first starting this investigation and hiring more investigators, I offered to help train their people to teach them how these trafficking networks operate and what to look for, but they never responded. It appears that their progress is minimal, and that might be the plan.
