The US Bishops’ Hypocrisy on Human Trafficking

Platitudes and press statements will not be enough to confront the depraved evils of human trafficking.

America’s Catholic bishops are decrying the evils of human trafficking, while ignoring their own role in facilitating the dehumanizing practice amidst the illegal immigration crisis. Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso, Texas, chairman of immigration activities for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), said in a statement Thursday, “Human trafficking is not only a serious crime — it is a rejection of the God-given dignity of every human being.”

“I’ve talked to little girls as young as nine who were raped multiple times by members of the cartel. Not once, numerous times.”
