Human Trafficking & Modern Day Slavery

While our focus has been on past racial injustices in the US, a new underground, and perhaps more sinister form of injustice has been growing in leaps and bounds across the globe, commonly known today as Human Trafficking, which is the movement of people through deception, coercion, or violence, for the purpose of forced labor, sexual or slavery purposes. The U.S. Department of State estimates that over 600,000 to 800,000 victims are trafficked across US borders each year. Among this group over 65% of the victims are sexually exploited including children as young as 8 years old.

If heard of this for years and believe it is much more prevelant than our government wants to confront!

Mass murderer Henry Lee Lucas admited to kidnapping young children and selling them below the border.

I agree, this happens more than the government(s) care to discuss or reveal. Imagine the amount of unreported cases worldwide! I met a young woman in the military who was a victim but was able to escape through the efforts of a few concerned people. Unfortunately she could not bring charges against her captors because she never saw them again.

Globalist importers can afford to buy and import human beings, and it’s widely accepted that such successful entrepreneurs don’t commit crimes. Thus...the lack of enforcement.

Slavery is supported by Islam, the UN, and DNC.

I suspect that if close relatives of globalists or government officials were affected we might see a slight change in policy.

The data speaks for itself! It’s apparently a worldwide problem affecting all nations and governments. It appear that the problem is too large for the Human Rights Watch group to monitor.

The U.S. tax code is the most prevalent example in the U.S. of expropriation amounting to slave labor there is.
