Against Human Trafficking

Against Human Trafficking

In California we have the right to vote, to raise our voice and let the Government to hear our propositions and make them happen. Human trafficking is the most horrific crime a person could do, California has three cities that has a high intensity child sex trafficking areas: San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego. To help these cities to prevent the human trafficking Proposition 35 is going to increase prison sentences and fines for all people convicted of human trafficking and trade of human beings for sex slavery or forced labor.  Prison sentences would be increased to 15 years of jail or a lifetime and a fine up to $1.5 million. Also would require the offenders convicted of sex trafficking to register as a sex offender and would force them to disclose the identities they use on the Internet, as well as the sites they visit. Our children and youth are the future of our country, and we demand protection to them, therefore, vote YES for proposition 35 to protect our children and youth from sexual exploitation.

People against the proposition argue that is not necessary to have this law passed because criminalization of prostitution is the condition that allows exploitation. When we talk about prostitution in general, we can define it as an individual job that a female or a male decide to do to gain some money for them. We are trying to stop the criminalization of human trafficking and exploiting the victims to being force to have sex, being in pornography and being sexual slaves. Woman have it the worst, in a video on YouTube shows evidence when a woman that was working on the streets as a prostitute was not giving a man what he wanted, he called the police to get her as a human trafficker; even the police assault her just because she was saying no. Who was the sexual offender on this scene, was the police. If we do not put a stop on this our future generation would fall from heaven and would be on the devils hands.

Also the politicians are ridiculously against the proposition 35 they think that rape is what as a woman, we deserve. In 1990 the republican Clayton Williams said, “If it’s inevitable, just relax and enjoy it”. In that year human trafficking was climbing the way up, but no one did something to stop it. Now in 2012 the same political party, had three other politicians that commented in a very inhuman way about the victims of human trafficking. We have Rick Santorian’s quote, “Rape victims should make the best of a bad situation”, Todd Akin’s “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways of shutting that whole thing down” (this is just a missing the point fallacy). And the famous quote from Richard Mourdock, “I came to realize life is that gift from God, and I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape that it is something that God intended to happen”. We have to stop this insult we need to support each other to give the sex offenders what they deserve, prison. We need to save our children and woman for a better future.

    

One of other reasons that people are against this law is because they think the state would affect the state budget and go bankrupt. According to make this proposition happen the state would use $2 million to increase the time on prison to the offender and it would also train the police Officers in a better way to identify the offenders and to be strict with the law. The thing that people do not think is that we have donors that are willing to help California to be a better place for our children and woman. Chris Kelly, a candidate for Attorney General of California contributed with $2,160,000 millions, The California Statewide Law Enforcement Association has donated $500,000 dollars, The Police Officers Research Association gave $200,000 dollars and so many donors that completed the amount of $3,000,000 millions. We are not even going to touch the state budget if this proposition passes. The offenders would pay a on lifetime prison and a fine up to $1.5 millions. Do not worry, there is people out there, like you and I that care about our children and woman that would do anything to protect them.

The Internet media has so many traffickers online, which provide them with access to vulnerable children. Proposition 35 would stop from happening because every time that the police would arrest an offender would have to provide all his information and sites to track other traffickers and save more victims to be free again. If this proposition does not pass our children and woman would be held against their will and forced into prostitution for the financial gain of human traffickers. Many girls are around the age working for these sex offenders. Leah Albright- Boyd that is a survivor from being trafficked and abused when she was just only 14 years old. Imagine if your kid ends it up like Leah, you would like to send these human traffickers to prison for the rest of their lives. I would vote YES to 35, I want to protect our generation, our woman and my future children from human traffickers. Help by voting Yes on Proposition 35 to build a better California and to protect our woman and children.
