A study released by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention finds a four-fold increase in the risk of genital mutilation in girls under the age of 18, and a three-fold increase in girls and other women in the U.S, due to the wave of migrants from countries where the ritual is still practiced.
The increase has been happening over the course of a few decades as wave after wave of migrants have reached the US. The current rate means that half a million girls and women are affected or directly at risk of being subjected to the practice.
The practice has been bands in the United States for 20 years, but families who still practice genital mutilation are exploiting loopholes. The study observed a phenomenon called “vacation cutting,” where girls are sent back to the family’s country of origin to undergo the gruesome ritual.

To all you dopy people who say it should be illegal in the US, it is morons, it’s the c**p coming from Muslim land….and of course they see a real doctors here and it’s reported….why else would the numbers go from 0 upwards…..
Deport or shoot.
Stop the infiltration of these vile people.
Where is the law?? They live in the stone age!!
The ones who want them is to destroy the USA and the others do not have any common sense
That is just awful!!!
But no one has a problem with male genital mutilation. Even decades after circumcision has proven to do harm and little or no good for the health of a boy. But that is your tradition so it’s ok. Why not stop both?
And male genital mutilation too
