Talk show host Dr. Phil told "The View" on Monday that some children arriving at the border were being sent into "prostitution and sweatshops," citing a conversation he had with the head of the border patrol union.
"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin asked Dr. Phil about his recent trip to the southern border and asked about the biggest thing he took away from the experience.
"I talked to the head of all the border guards down there, the head of the union. I ask him straight-up, kids are coming over the border with numbers written on them, phone numbers and addresses. Do we check those out? He said, well, we call them.
"Is it possible that we’re sending them into known prostitution rings or sweatshops? He said, ‘It’s not possible, it is absolute.’ We are using American tax dollars to ship children into known prostitution and sweatshops," he said.
