Human slavery, and the trafficking that makes it possible across international borders, is not an ancient problem but now greater than ever. Traffickers trick young women, children, sometimes men too, into traveling internationally to get a job, only to discover when they arrive that they are enslaved, coerced into prostitution, forced labor, and held sometimes for years against their will. Virtually any real moral code recognizes the evil in this, yet it continues because there is money to be had and power to be gained. Recently, human trafficking has gone hand in hand with mass immigration, because the shear numbers involved makes it easier to smuggle children. Most countries, certainly the U.S., have sufficient laws on the books. The problem is not laws but enforcement. Catching the bad guys is difficult and dangerous. Needless to say, this is another human rights challenge of our era and it's getting worse.
