America, along with Mexico and the Philippines, was ranked as one of the world's worst places for human trafficking in 2018. It is estimated that between 18,000 and 20,000 victims are trafficked into the United States every year – 71% of whom enter the US legally. Since 2007, more than 49,000 cases of human trafficking have been reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. The Mexican state of Tlaxcala has been identified as the biggest source of sex slaves to the US. In 2015, five out of 10 of Homeland Security's "most wanted" sex traffickers were from Tenancingo, in Tlaxcala. It is estimated that one in 10 people from Tenancingo were involved in human trafficking.

- I oppose reforming current child trafficking policy and wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of either Nancy Pelosi (CA).
- I support providing for enhanced protections for vulnerable unaccompanied alien children by:
1.) Requiring all U.S. Customs personnel who have contact with a child at a port of entry or Border Patrol station to undergo appropriate training - which shall include live training on the applicable legal authorities, policies, practices and procedures relating to children.
2.) Ensuring that one or more qualified child welfare professionals with expertise in culturally competent, trauma-centered and developmentally appropriate interviewing skills and one or more qualified experts in pediatric medicine is available at each port of entry and Border Patrol station.
3.) Conducting screening of each child in such custody with respect to a child who may meet the notification and transfer requirements under subsections of the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2000.
4.) Providing a best interest placement recommendation for each accompanied child and family after interviewing any adult relative accompanying a child, including siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (CA) and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
