Former Arkansas GOP Gov. Mike Huckabee told Newsmax on Thursday he doesn’t understand why more Democrats are not fed up with the Biden administration’s lack of immigration enforcement considering the crisis surrounding human and sex trafficking.

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol data released Dec. 22 showed there were 242,418 encounters last month along the U.S. southern border, a record for November.

“Here’s the tragedy: A lot of the young people who are coming across the border are being sold into sex slavery,” Huckabee told “Rob Schmitt Tonight” and guest host Lidia Curanaj. “The humanitarian crisis ought to be enough to make these compassionate Democrats tear their garments and say, ‘My gosh, these are little kids that are coming across the border that are being exploited for slave labor and sex trade.’ But they’re not saying that.”
