SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) The scourge of human trafficking persists 
and manifests itself in the modern era, whether 
termed modern-day slavery, forced labor, involuntary 
domestic servitude, sex trafficking, child sex traf-
ficking, bonded labor, forced child labor, or debt 
bondage among migrant laborers. 
(2) According to the 2013 Trafficking in Per-
sons (TIP) Report of the United States Department 
of State, each year an estimated 14,500 to 17,500 
foreign nationals are trafficked into the United 
States, with the largest number of people trafficked 
into the United States coming from East Asia and 
the Pacific, and the next highest numbers coming 
from Latin America, Europe, and Eurasia. 
(3) The majority of victims of modern-day slav-
ery are women and children because traffickers prey 
on those who suffer most from gender discrimina-
tion, family violence, and a lack of access to edu-
cation and economic opportunity. 
(4) Human trafficking is one of the fastest 
growing criminal enterprises in the 21st century, 
generating profits for traffickers in excess of
