So a lot of it is the cartels will have brothels.

They'll have, you know, they'll pimp them out.

I mean, they've got organizations set up here where you've got a guy who might sell drugs, and he also manages the women that they sell for sex.

A lot of it, you know, the Chinese, which, by the way, we've had 37,000 Chinese nationals came in last year, mostly predominantly military-age men.

In 2021, there was only 450.

Last year was 37,000.

And this year is probably already about 30,000.

Their year ends at the end of September.

So we will probably hit close to double what it was last year for Chinese nationals.

But I remember watching this investigation where the Border Patrol was doing one or DHS.

And they were following a guy that was running like the Asian or the Chinese or Vietnamese massage parlors.

and following him across the country and all the way from California to Florida, all the different stops he made and every time it was at a different massage parlor all across the country.

A lot of them were in those massage parlors, nail salons.

I mean, humans are being trafficked in all sorts of places.

There's plenty of people that are criminals and have criminal operations in communities that, you know, pimps, people that are, you know, running, you know, how do I say it?

Running sex trade, you know, and they just get these women that are vulnerable that need to pay the cartels that owe the cartels or they work directly for the cartels.

I mean, the sex trade is off the charts.

It's all over the country.

It's spread like a disease across this country.

What about the kids?
