#27 – Sex Trafficking

If you think this is not a serious problem, then take off those rose-colored glasses!  It’s ugly, it’s real and it’s damn serious. Sexual slavery IS the fastest growing crime businesses in the U.S. and world.   Texas is in the top 10 of this on-going trafficking ring.  We must be clear headed on this issue and realize these are victims, not prostitutes.  Half of all victims are under 18 and many end up in forced marriages.  In addition to the smuggling of sex slaves into our country, we are also talking about the abduction and coercion of our own children into the sex trafficking realm.  The recent arrest of over 1000 people involved in nationwide sex trafficking is but a tiny dent of a growing crisis.  While Carter focuses on banning abortions and limiting women’s rights, more young girls are thrown in the U.S. sex slave crime industry every year.   Come to think of it, when has he given a public speech about this?  It will take resources and serious commitment from Congress to combat this issue.  It will take serious people elected to Congress who won’t hold back on this crisis.  Is this real enough for you?
