In a new video released by Fox News talk show host Sean Hannity, an ACORN staff member is shown advising an undercover filmmaker posing as a pimp about how to smuggle underage girls across the Mexican border and establish a prostitution ring. This is perhaps the most damning video yet uncovering the corruption within ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
Filmmaker James O’Keefe and undercover accomplice Hannah Giles posed as a pimp and prostitute in several “sting” videos filmed at ACORN offices. As a result, Congress has cut off funding to the community-organizing group. The U.S. Census Bureau, which planned to use ACORN personnel with the census next year, has severed its ties with ACORN as well.
This latest video, the fifth in a series of “sting videos” that document ACORN misdeeds, is the most outrageous yet. In it, the ACORN staff member offers to help O’Keefe and Giles smuggle a dozen girls, ages 13-15, across the Mexican border at Tijuana and into the United States where they could then be used as slaves in a prostitution ring.
With all of the scandal involving this left-leaning group, which has supported many Democrats in the past, one must seriously question the judgement of seven U.S. senators and 75 U.S. House members who voted not to cut off ACORN’s funding earlier this week.
Senate vote was on an amendment to a housing and transportation spending bill. A “Yea” vote was to cut off funds to ACORN. See how senators voted here.
