Vote Question: Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2022

Here are the people who voted in favor of human trafficking:

Of course Matt (under investigation for sex trafficking) Gaetz is on the list.

Yes, I will vote for republicans who support human trafficking

No, I will not vote for republicans who support human trafficking

[Anonymous]

LOL. You are being played by your own political party. The democrats are sadly in charge of the government right now. We can all see the effects of that. The midterms are coming up, and the democrats are trying every dirty trick to prevent the coming red wave in November. The bill is one of those tricks. They love writing bills with popular topics like this. Who wouldn't vote for a bill to fight human trafficking? That is a tiny part of the bill, but you can bet than most of this bill is crazy, far-left projects that would not look so good in the headlines. They are looking for ways to support the over 2 million illegals that have crossed the border at Biden's invitation. They are promising them free housing, healthcare, food stamps, and who knows what else. All they ask in return is for their vote in every election when the time comes. Yes, they have a plan to give them voting rights. Naturally, they are all told if those evil Republicans get elected, they will take their kids away and lock them in dog cages, and deport them.

Lol funny, but no hun, biden's handlers have created more trafficking of both people and drugs with their disastrous open borders than anyone else in the history of the free world

[Asker]

There are no open borders hun. It's just more Republican fear mongering. Let's look at Project Lonestar - a grift to catch illegal activities at the Texas border costing tax payers billions. This endeavor causes such long wait times at checkpoints that food rots in the trucks during a supply chain crisis, and has caught statically zero illegal activity. It's just a tax-funded publicity stunt.

[Bratsondanielle]

I see you're a Democrat, and according to a new study involving brain scans etc there is no way I will ever be able to explain it to you so I forfeit immediately

[Asker]

I see you are a Republican. Hope you break out of that personality cult for the sake of humanity.

[Bratsondanielle]

Nah we need rid of this biden and Co. 6 dollar gas ain't my thing

[Stoner710]

That’s every likely not what they did, They voted against an omnibus package that contains something about human trafficking but also a bunch of pork for them democrats like more and more environmental regulation or something else that republicans don’t want to pass into law.

It would be like republicans offering to fund Daca but also having a federal ban on abortion, then republicans say democrats don’t want to fund daca while there a hidden make abortion illegal across the land part of the bill.

both parties slip in things the other party completely disagree in a bill that 99% of them agree with. Once you slip your agenda into a bill that 99% agree with they switch there and then blame the other party for not caring.

this is probably the case here, republicans don’t support human trafficking and want to see it gone that part could have past but once you put in there we’re going to fund immigrants abortion the bill doesn’t get past because republicans aren’t going to vote for funding abortion.

[NewsReader]

If you follow politics then you should have found the political trends by now. Some people (on both sides) in congress and senate always vote against the other party or sometimes join everyone else if the bill is bipartisan enough. These republicans are the ones who always vote against anything the opposing party proposes. It's a political game, not a personal thing. Democrats play the same game when Republicans are in control. It's all a political game. Some call it "Political Theater".

And yes, I always vote republican because I agree with majority of their policies and common sense beliefs.

[NewsReader]

I forgot to add something. You need to read everything that is included in the bill. It's not black & white. A lot of things go into every bill. And depending on what goes into it, some of those hings can be very problematic. The bill can be called whatever they want. It's what goes into the bill that counts. 8 republicans and 1 democrat did not vote at all.

[darkcloud1945]

because of the THE DEMOCRATIC COMMUNIST PARTY OF AMERICA adding billions of dollars in allsorts of build it back items and things to numerous to mention all added into the human trafficking bill. human trafficking should have been a stand alone bill not with billions added to to force payment to build it back at all cost a usless try to change things that would take decades to do right into a couple of years of half thought out ideas that would do not do anythig to improve the enviorment and possibly damage it more with half assed ideas

[AviatorTom]

The bill passed overwhelmingly. Maybe the 20 Nays wanted more discussion and didn't want to suspend the rules, plus it's unclear exactly what was in the amendment (s) that they may not have liked.

None of these are in my district, so for me your question is moot.

[NamerOfStars]

"Voting for human trafficking" because they didn't vote for a bill to combat it? Do you consider Russ Feingold to be "in favor of terrorism" because he voted against the Patriot Act?

There's no shortage of reasons a Congress (wo) man might vote against a bill. Turn off CNN and learn how your government works.

[Avicenna]

LOL, the biggest human trafficker right now is the Biden Administration. Yet not a peep of complaint from you.

And here's the bill:

Trafficking Bill

Do you agree with every provision of that bill?

[abc3643]

1. I am in a meeting so I can't read the bill at the moment. What is it that you'd disagree?

2. Considering that:

1 DEM and 0 GOPs did not vote.
218 DEMs and 183 GOPs = 401 voted "Aye"
0 DEMs and 20 GOPs voted "Nay"

one has to wonder what 20/(411+20) = 0.0464 = less than 5% of these voters and you know that the remaining 95+ % do not.

[Jay3344]

Didn’t vote for them, but I would say that many bills tend to have earmarks or other political favors tacked on and maybe that’s what they voted against. Like no human trafficking and also my friends border patrol free lance group gets a government contract to “help” stop trafficking. Kickbacks, maybe that’s why they didn’t support it, opposed to kickbacks

[abc3643]

What's surprising is that Elise Stefanik is not on that list.
She is so ambitious and has zero principles - like GOP AZ Gov candidate Kari Lake - that you'd expect her to vote with her fellow Trumpsters on that list.

[Daniela1982]

What do you mean support human trafficking? Do you mean support for the victims or support for the traffickers? No one would vote for them as long as their daughter wasn't one of the vicdtims.

[Asker]

This is the law that 20 Republicans voted against.

www.congress.gov/.../5150

Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2021

This bill reauthorizes through FY2026 and revises programs and activities to support survivors of human trafficking and prevent such trafficking domestically and abroad.

The bill expands and authorizes programs for survivors, including a program to prevent re-exploitation. It also extends through FY2026 a special assessment on certain persons convicted of a human trafficking offense, which funds programs for human-trafficking survivors. Additionally, the bill provides privacy and other protections for survivors, including specified financial protections and protections against retaliation for survivors who pursue civil claims against a perpetrator. The bill also allows courts to reduce sentences for certain individuals who commit human trafficking crimes as minors.

To prevent trafficking domestically, federal departments must incorporate anti-trafficking efforts into contracting activities and personnel policies, and the bill supports private sector efforts to address human trafficking in its policies and services. Furthermore, the bill supports the identification, investigation, and prosecution of human trafficking crimes, with an expanded focus on forced labor.

To prevent trafficking globally, the bill prohibits access to a trade program for developing countries and otherwise restricts development assistance for countries that fail to meet minimum standards for eliminating trafficking. It also changes the criteria for determining whether a country has met applicable standards. In addition, the bill authorizes sanctions on persons convicted of severe forms of trafficking and requires integration of counter-trafficking activities into foreign assistance programs.

[Anonymous]

What’d they do, try to add in a rider clause to give BLM more millions of dollars? Amazing that people don’t want to support the woke bullshit that the Left attaches to everything.

Nothing like Liberals giving money for gender studies programs in fucking Pakistan.

[KatherineJ]

I think it’s safe to say (I hope) that no one supports human trafficking. So that begs the question “Why did those 20 vote no?” What was in it that they didn’t like?

[gorydetails]

Wait, democrats methodically allow illegal immigrants to stream over our border and you think they care about human trafficking? Bahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahha…ah…ahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha

[FunkyMonkee]

Leave it to the loony lefties to come up with more bullshit and lies to fit their agenda!

[Still-alive]

our #1 priority this November is voting these fascists out. So vote blue no matter who this time and we will sort out the bad dems from the good later

[Snakeyes7]

What does the bill actually say? For all we know a bill called "Letting Bunnies Live Act" could pass and next thing we know, people are rounded up and shoved into train cars because we are too stupid to read beyond the title.

[legalboxers]

-Waits to see which Trump / FAR RIGHT SUPPORTERS agree and believe human trafficking is proper-

[jshm2]

How else they supposed to make those slave smuggling bucks?

[Anonymous]

If someone gave you a contract and told you it was called "save the poor children of the world", would you believe them and sign it without reading it?

Why are people so gullible about this sort of thing?

[Anonymous]

Of course, Matt Gaetz would vote NO on a bill supporting human trafficking victims.

[love_conquers_lust]

They were voting to amend it, not for human tradfficking.

[EnglishEuropean]

Republicans love human trafficking. Just ask Matt Gaetz.

[ManHater]

Someone has to teach these liberal women what the difference is between a boy and girl.

[Asker]

Leave your two dads out of this.

[OddBeMe]

This and those Repubs who voted no on Violence Against Women Act have no shame.

[Guardian45]

These dumpsters should be targeted during their elections.

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

I thank fucking goodness that Ron DeSantis did not make it to the top 20

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

Many on that list, ESPECIALLY MTG and Gosar, are huge white supremacists

[888theGreat]

Sure they didn't have a "kill Trump option" included in Bill?

[Anonymous]

Why aren't I surprised Matt gaetz voted against it considering he's a child sex trafficker.

[Anonymous]

They support my views in abortion so yes.

[Asker]

It almost seems like Republicans want to force America to grow babies so they can get gunned down in schools.

[Opinion Owner]

Those school shootings were hoaxes. Stop watching cnn and get educated.
