Human Trafficking…in the United States

If you watch the corporate media you know it occasionally (very, very occasionally) aires stories about human trafficking. They’re always done from or about a foreign country with an air of superiority, as if such a thing would never, ever happen in the United States.
Human Trafficking in Central PA:
Every hour of every day there is someone who is lured into the United States, forced to work with no pay or coerced into becoming a sex slave. Human trafficking is a horrifying experience and it is happening right here in Central Pennsylvania.
Anywhere from 14,000 to 16,000 people are trafficking into this country each year. It’s modern day slavery and it’s a billion dollar industry.
