Mr. Speaker. H.R. 3079 would apply the Nations immigration laws to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). For too long. the CNMI has managed its own immigration system outside of the constraints and protections of Federal law. The result has been a massive influx of exploited workers and victims of human trafficking. with concomitant increases in sex slavery and other abusive labor practices. Recent investigations and prosecutions have uncovered terrible stories of enslavement and forced labor. Thousands of young women and girls lured to the CNMI with promises of good jobs with good pay only to be enslaved and forced into prostitution.
