Rodas then lays a pretty big charge against her employer; “Now, whether it's intentional or not, it could be argued that the United States government has become the middleman in a large-scale, multi-billion dollar child trafficking operation. It is run by bad actors seeking to profit off of the lives of children.”

Rodas said her sole interest is the safety of the children. “I do not view this as a political issue, I view this as a humanitarian issue. I assure you my motives are the highest and the best. I want the children protected.

She then went on to describe some of the atrocities she witnessed personally at the Pomona Fairplex. “I saw vulnerable indigenous children from Guatemala who speak Mayan dialect and cannot speak Spanish. That means they cannot ask for help in English, they cannot ask for help in Spanish, they become captives of their sponsors. I have sat with case managers, as they cried, to tell me the horrors of what has happened to children as they make the journey to this country. I saw apartment buildings where twenty, thirty and forty unaccompanied minors have been released. I saw sponsors that try to simultaneously sponsor children from multiple ORR sites at one time. I saw sponsors using multiple addresses to obtain sponsorship of children and I saw numerous cases of children in debt-bondage and the child knew they had to stay with the sponsor until the debt was paid.”

Rodas likens the U.S. system of handling illegal immigrant children to a form of slavery. “Realizing that we were not offering the children the American dream, but instead putting them in modern day slavery with wicked overlords was a terrible revelation. These children are a captive victim population with no access to law enforcement, or knowledge of their rights. They are extorted, abused, neglected and that is why I blew the whistle in 2021.”

Rodas then makes a seemingly impossible request by asking Congress to do something about it. “I witnessed first-hand the horrors of child trafficking and exploitation. My life will never be the same after what I saw, but I have hope because I'm counting on you [the U.S. Congress]. It's my hope that you'll take action to end this crisis to save the lives of most of these vulnerable children.”

This might be a tall order to fill since Congressmen and women rely on political donations; many from the same companies who utilize these exploited children to bolster their profit margins and fill their diminishing labor pool options.

“People have asked me, what could be done? What would you suggest? Well, first I think HHS' number one priority is oversight. They must commit to oversight, transparency and accountability.”

This would also be difficult to achieve because over the decades, the U.S. government has continually thwarted efforts to increase oversight, transparency and accountability across all bloated bureaucracies it maintains. This is a government that is in the business of business and oversight, transparency and accountability do not fit their current business model.

“If I could wave a magic wand, this, I believe could be quickly solved by experts in the IG community,” said Rodas. “There is a Pandemic Center of Excellence - or the PACE as we call it. I believe that if data analysts at the PACE could look at the data, children could be rescued, criminals could be prosecuted if the PACE had access to this data. It shows where the children are and who has them.”

The current model of processing illegals is to rush them through the border and hastily stash them in houses and hotels around the country to disperse the appearance of the millions who are crossing over illegally. In many cases, the illegals are consuming options that the current homeless population in the U.S. is now being denied access to.

Rodas thinks the attitudes of the government should change in order to facilitate a safer environment and experience for the immigrant children. “I think also we need to change the culture of speed over safety. Speed is the wrong performance measure when dealing with children. We need to revamp the vetting process of sponsors and have case managers who have investigative backgrounds, data analytic backgrounds, certified fraud examiners.

This suggestion in a time where the skilled labor force is shrinking and it's very difficult to find qualified individuals with the types of skill sets Rodas lays out.

“I think we need to re-imagine a system where the sponsor is the accountable party. Sponsors should be required to report to ORR and lastly, stop retaliating against whistleblowers; stop retaliating against the people who are trying to tell the truth to save the children.”

Again, Rodas makes this appeal to an indifferent U.S. Congress many of whom financially benefit from the exploitation of children she is revealing to them.

This past summer, the New York Times published a couple of investigative reports that showed as many as 300,000 children have been placed with “sponsors” by the U.S. government. Of those 300,000 there were 85,000 30-day wellness calls that went unanswered so those children are effectively unaccounted for. Nobody in government knows where they are, or their well-being status.

In July, Senate Republicans held a press conference accusing Joe Biden's handlers of exacerbating the problem with lax border policies which many believe to be designed to bring in an illegal voting block that will be led to illegally vote for the continuation of the Deep State politicians currently infesting the District of Columbia to this day.
