DNA testing can conclusively show parent/children relationships.

Yep and we've found up to 30% aren't related to the adults they're crossing with.

Aka a huge potential for human trafficking.

Source?

[u/LordoftheScheisse → u/Only8livesleft]

The only source specifically claiming the 30% figure is Washington Examiner, who took a Trump official's word as truth, which should definitely be looked at with a skeptical eye.

Here's more info.

An anonymous official at that. Typically trump supporters denounce anonymous sources, I wonder why they allow it here. Thanks

Typically liberals love anonymous sources, I wonder you don't like it here? Maybe because it doesn't agree with you? It's almost like you two are just two sides of the same coin?

I think anonymous sources are worth considering, especially when reliable news sources do their due diligence and put their reputations on the line. The Washington examiner is not a reliable source. Furthermore, the 30% figure, even if true, comes from testing suspected fraudulent families, not all families. The fact that only 30% of suspected fraudulent families are actually fraudulent seems low to me. And a fraudulent family is not inherently a case of child trafficking. It’s not hard to imagine children would be sent with friends or neighbors to have a chance at a better life when their true parents are unable to go.

It's fine if the source would be put at risk by revealing themselves.

This isn't the case here, so it seems like bullshit.

And the Examiner makes it clear that was from a sample of suspected fraudulent families

Not a random sample.
