The United States is again ranked as one of the worst countries in the world for human trafficking. According to a recently released report by the State Department, the top three nations of origin for victims of human trafficking in 2018 were the United States, Mexico and the Philippines.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivered the Trafficking in Persons report, which is created annually by the State Department to document human trafficking in the year prior, and highlighted the growing focus that government agencies and nonprofit organizations have dedicated to stopping human trafficking. The Department of Justice provided more than $31 million for 45 victim service providers that offered services to trafficking survivors across the country. It was a demonstrable increase; the DOJ only provided $16 million to 18 organizations in 2017, according to the report.
At the heart of the human trafficking trade in America is simple economics: Supply and demand.
Over the last two months, Fox News has investigated human trafficking. We followed the enforcement efforts of FBI agents and police officers, documented the ways advocacy groups protect and serve survivors, and heard heart-wrenching stories of abuse, rape and recovery from numerous victims.

Something doesn't add up.
More Faux News nonsense.
Eastern Europe has a much bigger problem.
The movie “Taken” showed a world that really exists.
Because it doesn’t exist in this USA
Some one should call the newnited nations. Pretty sure there are some experts at human trafficking there. :-(
Its all statistics
It is a science of made up numbers
Remember Puerto Rico had 64 deaths, but officials with their computer models now made that number 3,057
Its the same thing, feed data into a computer program, get a number out.
Statistics are bullsh## the people in control at any one time dictate what they want to release

I agree it doesn’t add up.
Illegals immigration is contributing to it. Legal immigration also.
I worked with a guy who got charged for “child trafficking”. His wife had passed away two years previously. He answered an ad for prostitutes on backpage. It was a police sting. And at some point they represented that they were underage and he didn’t run.
So anyone who gets caught in that sort of police sting, gets labeled as a “trafficker”, and then they multiply those stats.

Denial doesn’t help AT ALL.
There are more than a DOZEN asian “massage parlors” right next to legit businesses where I live alone.
I know. My neighborhood is the exception and your glorious neighborhood is the rule.
WRONG.
Accept it. Cops and everyone else are paid off even after Multiple front page exposes in the local paper.
The VAST wealth here FAR EXCEEDS ANY money that can be spent in Russia or any other hole.
Stop learning about life from movies. That’s for kids.
If only the USA were more like Africa, or Venezuela....
Or Zimbabwe.....
It’s no doubt human trafficking is real. There are 30 plus million bodies of human trafficking known and that 30 plus million came via Mexico
Define “human trafficking”
Somehow, Libya, with its open air slave markets, and never ended slavery in Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad and Sudan do not make the list...
yep
Denial seems to be the biggest river in Amerika these days.
Land of the sheep & home of the slave.
This goes hand in hand with illegal immigration and the numbers include that as many people profit by smuggling people into this country for indentured servitude.
This is also aided and abetted by “sanctuary cities”
Omg that’s horrific. I always thought Romania or Thailand was the worst.
I agree!
That’s why the immigration system needs to be shut down for at least 2 years. If not permanently.
