It's sad but true: here in this country,
people are being bought, sold, and smuggled.
They are trapped in lives of misery—often beaten, starved,
and forced to work as prostitutes or to take grueling jobs
as migrant, domestic, restaurant, or factory workers with little
or no pay. We’re working to stop human trafficking—not only
because of the personal and psychological toll it takes on
society, but also because it facilitates the illegal movement
of immigrants across borders and provides a ready source of
income for organized crime groups and even terrorist organizations. |
