Report: Obama Misinterpreting 2008 Human Trafficking Law




Published on July 18, 2014

From The Conservative Intelligence Briefing:  "A new report released by the Center for Immigration Studies reveals the Obama White House may be misinterpreting the William Wilberforce Tracking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 when it comes to not deporting most Central American illegal immigrant minors flooding across the U.S.-Mexico border.

Specifically intended to combat the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children, the 2008 law allows the federal government to hold the children in “exceptional circumstances” and place them in the care of the Health and Human Services refugee division rather than return them to their home countries.
CIS legal policy analyst Jon Feere explains in the report that the 2008 law as it was written applies only unaccompanied minors without a parent or a guardian in the United States, something he says is not the case for a “significant majority” of the youths.
“Accordingly, the Obama administration should be limiting its use of the law where possible,” Feere suggests."
