No child should fall into the hands of traffickers because of our
lack of surveillance. When I was in practice as a physician, if I ever
suspected that a child had been abused, I was required by law to notify
authorities. We should require no less of our Federal agencies. Today, I am asking the Office of Refugee Resettlement to redouble
their efforts to make certain these children never end up in the care
of the wrong people. I also want to take this opportunity to thank our Denton County
sheriff, Tracy Murphree. Just last weekend, they conducted a
significant human trafficking operation that led to 11 arrests.
