Imagine the nightmare: a convicted Alaska sex offender wiring $5,000 to human smugglers to snag a Honduran mother and her young daughter, all so he could pose as the sponsor for the child once she slipped across the Rio Grande into Texas as an unaccompanied minor. This isn’t some dystopian fiction—it’s straight from a criminal complaint uncovered by Breitbart Texas, exposing how ICE is now hunting this predator who thought Biden’s wide-open border policies were his personal shopping spree for vulnerable kids.

Dig deeper, and the rot festers. Under the current administration’s lax enforcement, over 400,000 unaccompanied minors have flooded in since 2021, with sponsors often fast-tracked through a system riddled with vetting gaps—gaps that let creeps like this one slip through. Breitbart reports this guy, already a registered sex offender, exploited the chaos, paying traffickers to deliver his prey. It’s not isolated; similar horrors have surfaced repeatedly, from cartel drop-offs to family reunifications gone predatorily wrong. The implications scream for ironclad borders: without them, smugglers aren’t just moving drugs and bodies—they’re auctioning kids to the worst among us.

For the 2A community, this is a clarion call. Law-abiding gun owners know self-defense isn’t optional when predators roam free, emboldened by a federal government that prioritizes catch-and-release over child safety. Your AR-15 or Glock isn’t for hunting migrants—it’s for protecting your family from the fallout of this border apocalypse, where sex offenders shop for victims like they’re on Amazon. Demand walls, not welcomes; vetting, not virtue-signaling. Arm up, stay vigilant, and vote to seal the sieve—because if Uncle Sam won’t shield the innocent, we sure as hell will.
