Since the inauguration of the US Biden administration, the number of people smuggling from Central and South America to the US has increased significantly.
In many cases, only small children are allowed to cross the border without guardians, and even smuggling agents dropping children like luggage on a 4m high border barrier is shocking.
This is Jung Joon-hyung.

man straddling the barrier between the United States and Mexico lifts a child and falls under the 4 meter barrier.
The child, who fell to the ground, was unable to get up for a long time because of the shock, and in the meantime, the man dropped the second child under the barrier.
The man threw away the children's belongings and ran away with the group.
The smugglers fled after dropping their three- and five-year-old sisters from Ecuador to American soil.
Since the inauguration of the Joe Biden administration, illegal immigrants from Latin America have flocked to the US border, and the number of minors crossing the border without guardians has been increasing rapidly.
In the case of a minor immigrant housing facility in Texas, there are more than 4,000 children in a capacity of 250 people.

In return, parents gave money to smugglers or drug gangs.]
Unlike the days of former President Trump, who relentlessly expelled minors who smuggled into the country without parents, this was a phenomenon when the Biden administration accepted minors.
[Mike Howell/Adviser of the American Heritage Foundation: No crackdown on smugglers, construction of border barriers has also ceased.
Biden said he would take better care of it.
The current over-acceptance problem and the terrible situation are well-anticipated disasters.]
Over 10,000 minors who were caught crossing the US border without guardians in the past month in March, and children dying while crossing the border alone are one after another. It is predicted that more children will try.
