GOP Mayor Tells Newsmax the ‘Humanitarian Crisis’ at the Border Will Go Down as More of a ‘Stain on America Than Slavery’

Bill Wells, the Mayor of El Cajon, California, told Newsmax on Monday that child sex trafficking, which he claimed was being fueled by illegal immigration, may prove to be a bigger “stain” on American than slavery.

The segment’s topic was border security and what Vice President Kamala Harris planned to do about it if she was elected president, and Wells said that she and President Joe Biden could have “fix[ed] this problem with executive orders immediately.” But then he veered into an even more sordid aspect of border security, child sex trafficking:

When we’re talking about childhood sex trafficking, these are one of these things that really should transcend politics. It seems to me that this group of people has decided to use children as cannon fodder for economic development and for political advantage. And they don’t care that America, sadly to say, is the number one consumer of child pornography and child sex slavery in the world. And we are feeding, giving 300,000 kids into this monster, this beast that’s eating them up and doing God knows what to them. I believe that this will at some day be the greatest humanitarian crisis that we’ve ever faced, and this will be much more of a blot and a stain on America than slavery ever was.

The Trans-Atlantic slave trade transported millions of slaves from Africa to North America beginning in 1619.
