End Child Trafficking: DNA Tests and Penalties for Minor Exploitation
This new law aims to combat child trafficking by requiring DNA tests for adults traveling with minors without sufficient documentation. This is intended to prevent the exploitation of children for illegal border crossings. The act also introduces a new crime for repeatedly using minors for illegal entry into the U.S.
Key points
DNA Test Requirement: Adults traveling with children without clear proof of relationship may be required to undergo a DNA test at the border.
New Crime: A penalty of up to 10 years in prison is introduced for repeatedly using minors for illegal entry into the U.S. if the adult is not their relative or guardian.
Child Protection: Children whose adult companions refuse a DNA test or are found to be unrelated will be treated as unaccompanied minors, aiming to provide them better protection.
