Costs $8,000. 100 percent safe,\u201d one ad, translated from Spanish and viewed by NBC News, reads. \u201cCross through Matamoros. You walk one hour, after in automobile until you arrive to your relative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake your dream a reality in the United States. We are here to help you,\u201d reads another. \u201cThe journey is safe and reliable and the price is $4,500 leaving from Monterrey to San Antonio, Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s ready. 3,000 to arrive at the line\/ 6000 to jump to your destination. Whatever state. Pay when your relatives receive you,\u201d reads another.<\/p>\n<p>The posts, the Department of Homeland Security says, may be partly to blame for a sudden surge of migrants at the southern border \u2014 a surge that is stressing border patrol and other services to the maximum. A reported 15,500 unaccompanied migrants are now in custody \u2014 a number expected to continue to grow through the summer months \u2014 and the Biden administration was reportedly warned that nearly two million illegal immigrants are expected to cross the border before September.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, President Joe Biden took no responsibility for encouraging the influx of asylum seekers and illegal immigrants, despite rolling back a number of Trump administration restrictions, including the so-called \u201d Remain in Mexico\u201d policy which forced asylum seekers to stay south of the U.S. border while they waited for a hearing on their asylum claims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI make no apologies for ending programs that did not exist before Trump became president that have an incredibly negative impact on the law, international law, as well as on human dignity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to NBC, the social network pulled the ads, but only after NBC pointed out that they violated Facebook\u2019s policy against advertising human trafficking programs.<\/p>\n<p class>\u201cA spokesperson said that Facebook policy prohibits human exploitation and trafficking and that the company removes such content when it is identified or flagged by users,\u201d the outlet reported. \u201cFacebook removed all of the posts that NBC News flagged to the company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Facebook is already facing potential litigation over sex trafficking, per CBS News. A woman who claims to have been trafficked after accepting a friend request on Facebook from someone who turned out to be a human trafficker has filed suit against Facebook, \u201cclaiming product liability and gross negligence. Facebook says it cannot be held liable for these actions by sex traffickers and that \u2018we use technology to thwart this kind of abuse and we encourage people to use the reporting links found across our site.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
