It Is shameful to say that it is still going on in the 21st century. But I believe if we cut off the money supply of human traffickers. charging them with money laundering. it is a reasonable step to take in addressing this problem. This is not the same offense. but we have seen the devastation of alien smuggling when we lost large numbers of those undocumented individuals who came here for an economic reason who lost their lives at the hands of unscrupulous smugglers. This is similar. where we bring people in under false pretenses and we hold them as human slaves. So I think this amendment has the purpose of helping to diminish that very vicious set of circumstances.
