Former ICE Official: Biden Border Policies Fuel Illegal Child Labor

A former ICE official under Donald Trump is calling the Biden administration guilty of fueling illegal child labor through the border crisis.

Former Trump U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) chief of staff and current Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) director of investigations Jon Feere wrote an August 15 opinion piece for the New York Post. He argued that the “Biden administration is responsible for launching the largest explosion of illegal child labor in American history through lawless immigration policies” and urged Congress to take action.

”In just the past two years, investigators have found shocking instances of young children working at slaughterhouses in Nebraska and Hyundai suppliers in Alabama,” Feere wrote. “All because President Biden would rather see children working than actually enforce our immigration laws.” Feere has a solution, though — Congress can require ICE to step up its worksite investigations every month and file quarterly reports.
