Beg to differ. Nothing in the law indicates a temporary fix. Once the 'T' visa is approved (essentially on the basis of an individual's claim and notably without required approval of law enforcement) the person is granted residency with the right to remain in the US for 3 years. During this time, spouse and children can also enter the US and after 3 years all may apply for permanent residence. There is nothing in the law to discourage falsification in order to gain residency in the US.

Yes but "after 3 years", the "may apply for permanent residence" is the loophole because it can take months and sometimes years to get approval and the necessary documents. It is already happening now and people have to go back to their country in the meantime. (not with trafficking). Besides, "Mike Johnson" above is right. Seems to me this is a wink to our own flesh merchants more than anything else. clintonism lives on.
