Dr. Phil McGraw guested on The View on Monday and recounted his recent trip to the southern border and some of the discussions he had with border patrol agents. One sad fact that McGraw shared was that children crossing the border are sometimes sent directly into the hands of sweatshops or sex rings.
“My understanding is you went to the southern border and you say you’re going to give people facts,” co-host Sunny Hostin asked McGraw. “What did you take away from that experience and what kind of reporting are you going to be bringing back?”
“I’ll tell you a fact I took away. I talked to the head of all the border guards down there; the head of the union. I asked him straight up: ‘Kids are coming across the border with phone numbers written on them and addresses — do we check those out?’ He said ‘We call them.’ ‘Is it possible we’re sending them into known prostitution rings or sweatshops?’ He said ‘It’s not possible — it is absolute.’ We are using American tax dollars to ship children into known prostitution and sweatshops.”
The ladies of The View are shocked.
