How about human trafficking? It's incredible the amount of ability that HSI has brought to the table in partnering with the FBI and going after human traffickers. In fact, Of the 450,000 children that Joe Biden lost, lost track of, allowed cartels to manipulate and traffickers to abuse, and even the government paid sponsors to abuse these children. We have found 145,000 of them. And we're not going to stop until we find every single one. I'm glad that you mentioned child trafficking, because it's so important. (04:05–04:20)
