Later that day, he expressed frustration with some religious organizations involved in humanitarian aid for children. He stated, "I am so fed up with 'Christian' organizations who have been hiding behind these people, these children, and saying that this is somehow humanitarian aid for children when they were the purveyors, the funders of sex trafficking that was empowering the cartels".
