So strange that out of 14 missing children in Alexandria, Virginia 1/2 of them have Hispanic names...so 7 of the children. Even more strange that according to pew research that area only has a 10% Hispanic population. Are these the kids that have been brought across the border, a few years back?? I noticed a trend with increased Hispanic names of kids that are missing, I would expect that in San Antonio...but not up there.

Also keep in mind that there is City of Alexandria, and Alexandria (not city), which is part of Fairfax County. The route 1 corridor is heavily Hispanic.

Those areas outside of DC have an unfortunate problem with the MS13 and related latino gangs. In recent history they have engaged in sex trafficking as noted in the Washington Compost:

This often explains the fact that names are Latino.

"At a trial in federal district court in Alexandria this month, prosecutors said Chyna was one of at least four teenagers sold as sex workers by the “Cold-blooded Cartel,” a Georgia-based gang that found Northern Virginia to be an especially lucrative territory to prostitute children."
