I want to thank Chairman ROYCE and also Ranking Member ENGEL for their leadership and for their hard work on this bill. It seems that every day we see another report about the way modern slavery touches our lives. Fish caught by an enslaved sailor in Southeast Asia ends up in our grocery stores. Rare metals that are needed to power our smartphones are mined through forced labor in Central Africa. Oranges and tomatoes grown right here in the United States are picked by migrants who end up trapped and isolated. Human trafficking is a crime that affects every nation on Earth. It undermines stability. fuels criminal networks. and robs tens of millions of people of their basic freedom.
