Human traffickers. The victims, are women. And children. Maybe to a lesser extent, believe it or not, children.
Women are tied up. They're bound, duct tape put around their faces, around their mouths, and in many cases, they can't even breathe. They're put in the backs of cars or vans or trucks. They don't go through your port of entry. They make a right turn going very quickly.
They go into the desert areas, or whatever areas you can look at. and as soon as there's no protection, they make a left or a right into the United States of America. There's nobody to catch them, there's nobody to find them. They can't come through the port, because if they come through the port, people will see four women, sitting in a van, with tape around their face and around their mouth.
Can't have that. And that problem, because of the internet, is the biggest problem. It's never been like this before that you can imagine. It's at the worst level, human trafficking, in the history of the world. This is not a United States problem, this is a world problem. But they come through areas where they have no protection, where they have no steel barriers, where they have no walls. And we can stop almost 100% of that.

Beginning about six years ago security experts in Britain began suggesting that teenage girls use the hidden spoon technique. If she is made to walk through an airport security checkpoint, triggering an alarm, she will moved to a private location for a more thorough search and questioning. Once there, and separated from the person abducting her or forcing her to travel against her will, the girl can inform security officers of her situation. The technique has been credited with saving a number of British and European girls from becoming sex slaves or being sold by family members as a child bride.
