unit, the so-called parent who ends up not being the rnt pa, drops the child and runs. he said we see that all the time. i think people have to remember when the cartels are involved, there are all sorts of competing interests, the kids are caught in the crosshairs but we have to remember that these kids become prime targets for msn recruitment. i want to reveal something to the viewers, more than one-third, more than one-third of the 274ms-13 members and affiliates from that operation matador were unaccompanied minors. that s one-third 26900-plus, not an insignificant number. they re prime targets for recruitment. yet another way their lives are in peril because of the ridiculous government policies. claud, thank you so much. stay right there, we have just the man to analyze the real story behind this crisis, newt gingrich joins news a minute
right. laura: thank you for doing what you do for this country. great stuff. turning a blind eye to the law just encourages the human smuggling that puts these kids in terrible danger. let s expose the harsh realities of the seedy underworld with the human trafficking expert, former i. i.c.e. agent claud arnold, vast experience. claud, you just heard from terry and hector. it is a heartbreaker. nobody wants to see this type of trafficking of children which is, it is a widespread problem, it s not just children hopping on a train and having a nice ride up to the border. that s not how it works. from your perspective with your years of experience, what is the gritty truth that the american media refuse to reveal to the viewers about what really happens at the hands of the cartels? well, the fact is they re criminal organizations. it s driven by the drug trafficking organizations, laura.
