Paul Weyrich: The Fight to Abolish Human Trafficking Within the United States
Paul Weyrich has this article on Townhall that questions apparent DOJ opposition to human trafficking prosecutions. It begins:
[Former Rep. John R.] Miller was appointed Director of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons for the U.S. State Department and became an Ambassador-at-large on the issue of modern slavery. Miller elevated the fight to a high priority in the Bush Administration . . .
One could imagine Miller’s surprise when he learned that DOJ initiated a campaign to oppose a new Congressional bill which would strengthen the Federal Government’s anti-trafficking efforts. In a 13-page letter, DOJ blasted nearly every aspect of the proposed legislation . . .
