Some of President Joe Biden's impoverished immigrants are turning to prostitutes to help pay their smuggling debts and daily living costs in the expensive U.S. economy.
“Camila said she turned to sex work because she was afraid of being arrested.” [prostitution] Through friends desperately trying to make money while waiting for work permit documents,” Indypendent.org, rreported The site continued on November 21st:
Camila arrived in New York City from Venezuela about a year ago and lives with her husband and 6-year-old son in an immigrant shelter in the Bronx. “They just run away and hide in different streets,” Camila said. independent. “They wait for the police to leave and then come out again.”
The woman spoke on Roosevelt Street, where New York police recently tried to shut down an open-air sex market with a variety of shops and restaurants along the street.
Her descent into poverty and prostitution may come as a shock to Biden's pro-immigration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas. He justified his pro-immigrant policies by saying Americans must respect the dignity of poor immigrants.
“We are building an immigration system designed to ensure due process, respect human dignity, and promote equity,” Mayorkas said. tweeted In August 2021, he outlined plans for a mass migration of poor job seekers to the American homeland.
Mayorkas, the Border Patrol chief, disagrees with Biden. Do not allow “operational control” across borders
But the immigration route created by Mr. Mayorkas encourages male job seekers to be separated from their wives and children at home. The result is mass family separation, an influx of millions of young people, and a huge demand for prostitution.
The next administration is likely to investigate and publicize the scale of sex trafficking enabled by Biden and Mayorkas. This scandal and many others could cripple an investor backlash against President Donald Trump's immigration deportation plan.
On October 15th, Mayor Eric Adams declared: Operation Roosevelt Restoration To clean the streets. The street is part of the state's 14th Congressional District, currently held by pro-immigrant Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).
Gothamist news site reported October 25th.

At the same time, she said, the city is experiencing a “massive influx of asylum seekers who don't have work permits, don't have networks, and are extremely vulnerable to depredation by pimps and human traffickers.” ”
In October, elite-funded Pro-immigration groups organized protests against Adams' intervention. The group is Let's make the road New York, was popular Gothamists report on their role:
Although there appears to be broad support for the police crackdown, many immigrant rights groups have joined forces with groups representing trans New Yorkers and sex workers to mount a fierce backlash… Vianey Garcia of Queer), a justice organizer with the group Make the Road New York, addressed the crowd in Spanish, followed by an interpreter. “We are human beings just like any other human being.”
Mr. Mayorkas allowed approximately 9 million Southern immigrants to enter the United States. Most work both legally and illegally.
Although the percentage of people who turn to prostitution is probably small, the economic pressures are great. In October, the Associated Press explained How a poor immigrant from Venezuela got out of business:
After staying for more than a week, [migrant] kentucky family, [Sofia] Roca learns that the man's wife works in el negocio, or “business.” She told Roca that there aren't many jobs in Kentucky, so she earns money through sex work while her children play a few feet away.
A few days later, a Mexican man in his 30s pulled up outside the couple's trailer in a pickup truck. He saw a photo of Roca, fell in love with her and was willing to pay $1,000 for two nights with her, his wife said. Roca will keep $600 and the couple will receive $400.
During her month in the United States, Roca came to understand that sacrifices must be made in this country. But what about submitting yourself to the whims of a stranger in such an intimate and vulnerable way? “No,” she told the woman. “I'm not going anywhere with anyone.”
She then found work as a hotel maid in the northeastern states. “It’s a big difference from living in Denver,” she told The Associated Press. “There was less confusion and no one looked down on me anymore.”
Mr. Mayorkas has largely suppressed information about the scale of prostitution among poor immigrants that he admits.
Breitbart News published a report on numerous instances of sex trafficking within Mayorkas' immigration ranks.
Republican lawmakers continue to run into examples as they gradually add information from government agencies that keep Biden quiet.
for example, new parliamentary report Providing Evidence of Sex Trafficking in the Massive Parole Program Created by Mayorkas in 2022:
CHNV fraud analysis [visa] The applications revealed that a high proportion of applications submitted from the same IP address were submitted on behalf of CHNV foreign women. In one such case, 21 supporter applications were submitted from the same IP address, representing only 18 women and 3 men. At least six of the women were under the age of 18.
The report was released by the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee on November 20th.
In October, freepress.org It showed a dramatic increase in juvenile sex trafficking cases reported to Biden's agency.
Victims of sex trafficking often suffer horrific abuse, I learned when I spoke with 36-year-old Executive Director Landon Dickison. Bob's House of Hope The nation's only shelter for male sex trafficking victims ages 18 and older, located in Denton, Texas. Dickeson says he has seen Latin American teens so severely tortured by their traffickers that they can barely function.
Dickeson described caring for teenagers who had suffered brain damage from high doses of drugs, such as having their nails pulled out or lemon juice poured on their wounds. When I asked to interview one of the immigrant residents, Mr. Dickeson replied that they were in no condition to speak to anyone, much less a reporter. “We believe that cartels and gangs use torture as a means of controlling men,” Dickeson said. “You can chain a victim to a radiator, beat them frequently, give them drugs and they are not going to fight back.”
Young immigrants in the care of human smugglers and affiliated human trafficking rings in the United States may be abused or forced into prostitution. If families are unable to repay their debts, their farms and homes could be taken away by the banks that hold the loans.
