The 45th president has vowed to institute the death penalty for human traffickers if he gets another term in office.
“When I’m back in the White House. I will immediately end the Biden border nightmare that traffickers are using to exploit vulnerable women and children. We will fully secure the border,” he said in a video posted to his social media.
“I will wage war on the cartels just as I destroyed the ISIS caliphate. 100% gone, 100% destroyed,” he continued. “They’ll come back now because we have a weak administration. I will use Title 42 to end the child trafficking crisis by returning all trafficked children to their families in their home countries and without delay.
“And I will urge Congress to ensure that anyone caught trafficking children across our border receives the death penalty immediately and that includes also for women,” he continued. “Because women as you know are number one in trafficking. Children are actually number two.”
“In one of my first acts in office, I signed an executive order targeting transnational criminal organizations that traffic and exploit innocent people, ” the former president pledged.
“I signed the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act, authorizing $430 million to fight sex and labor trafficking,” he added.
