Officials with the Texas Department of Public Safety revealed that they encountered an unaccompanied two-year-old girl from El Salvador crossing the southern border.

Chris Olivarez, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, shared video on social media of the girl, whose face was blurred, clutching a piece of paper with a phone number and a name while claiming that her parents were in the United States. The girl had arrived with a group of five dozen children that came with a larger cohort of more than 200 illegal aliens.

The video shows an official asking the girl for her age, after which she held up two fingers and said she was two. “This is a stark example of the precarious journey these children make from their home country and how criminal organizations traffic these children across the southern border and further into the interior,” Olivarez wrote on social media about the incident.

The official shared several other videos filmed at the southern border featuring unaccompanied minors, including some special interest minors from Mali and Angola, both of which are in Africa.

“Regardless of political views, it is unacceptable for any child to be exposed to dangerous criminal trafficking networks,” Olivarez commented. “With a record number of unaccompanied children and hundreds of thousands missing, there is no one ensuring the safety and security of these children except for the men and women who are on the frontlines daily.”

Critics of current immigration policy observe that lackluster border security enables human trafficking and sexual abuse. President Joe Biden insisted this summer that his softening of border enforcement did not contribute to increased illegal immigration over the past four years.
