(Wisconsin) Wisconsin Congressman Glenn Grothman, the chairman of the House Oversight National Security Subcommittee, feels it is a mistake to shut down DNA testing for some migrant children at the border. The federal lawmaker from Glenbeulah is pushing to have the Biden Administration buy more DNA testing.
Grothman’s committee sent a letter to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Acting Commissioner Troy Miller asking for more information about why the agency ended a contract with a technology company that performed rapid DNA testing services since 2019. Grothman says some children coming across the border are being used for drug trafficking or are being exploited.
The letter cites reports that have found that as many as three-in-10 children crossing over the southern border share no familial relation with the adults claiming them. It also claims that recent studies have found nearly 60-percent of unaccompanied minors crossing the border are forced into child pornography and drug trafficking by the cartels.
