Hawley [Hearing on Unaccompanied Children]: Mrs. Marcos, you testified that every child gets a 'know your rights' presentation, is that correct?

Marcos [Office Refugee Resettlement]: That is correct.

Hawley: Is that before or after you release them to labor traffickers? Have you read the series of stories the New York Times has done on the children who are in your care?

Marcos: Yes, I have.

Hawley: Have you read that children are scrubbing dishes, they are operating heavy machinery, they are delivering meals, they are harvesting coffee, they are working construction, they are working as housekeepers, they are working overnight shifts at plants where they are not paid, they are not going to school, they are not cared for, they are not given meals; almost all of it illegally. Are you aware of that?

Marcos: Yes.

Hawley: Do the 'know your rights' presentations help them in those situations? Do you really think you are helping these children by releasing them to labor traffickers, and yes, sex traffickers? Eighty-five thousand children whom you have no contact with, and your answer is, 'we gave them a presentation before we turned them over to these people who are exploiting them on a scale not seen in this country for a hundred years'. A century. It's a disgrace in the United States of America.
