If Senate Republicans get their way, Loretta Lynch’s nomination forAttorney General won’t be voted on until Democrats agree to pass an anti-sex trafficking bill containing boilerplate abortion language that Democrats claim will take America back to the 19th century.[Sex-Trafficking Bill, Ensnared by Politics, Is Left in Limbo by a Senate Vote, By Jennifer Steinhauer, NYT, March 17, 2015]
Of course, Lynch should be blocked to protest Obama’s unconstitutional executive Amnesty—but it is significant that sex trafficking has become such a big issue, at least partly because of one big reason: illegal aliens. Helpfully, it’s spilling into the district of one key Republican who is in a position to do something about it:Bob Goodlatte, VA-6, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
Congress is considering 40 other bills that address trafficking. States are acting, too; 31 of them passed such laws in 2014. Recently the Virginia General Assembly passed a bill making it a Class 2 felony. [General Assembly Passes 1st Standalone Sex Trafficking Statute In Virginia, NBC29, February 27, 2015] The Senate and House of Delegates unanimously approved the legislation, sponsored by Sen.Mark Obenshain, scion of a distinguished Republican lineage.
Obenshain is in a position to know. The Shenandoah Valley district he represents, which overlaps with Goodlatte’s, is full of illegal alien criminals who provide cheap labor for the poultry industry. But they also provide chicks for the sex industry. So in this case Obenshain was less concerned about the illegals plucking feathers than the ones running prostitutes into the city to ply their trade for Latino pimps. Sometimes, the traffickers are the pimps.
Some of this trafficking appears to be old-fashioned pimping, but an awful lot of it has taken prostitution to another level, where the women are unwilling participants forced by debt or flagitiously beaten into submission. (Amazingly, immigration policy has also enriched us with cases of outright chattel slavery—for example, in 2013 ICE nailed six Togolese for labor trafficking: they brought 20 Togolese women into the U.S. to make them slaves in hair-braiding salons).
Thus in October a federal judge sentenced a Honduran scumbag named Elin Coello-Ordonez to 15 years in prison for conspiracy to sell sex in Virginia. In 2009, this criminal had been deported after cops collared him on a gun charge in D.C. Back in Honduras, he picked up a 17-year-old girl, whom he brought to Virginia, beating her until she agreed to let him pimp her out. She serviced as many as 30 men per day and worked in Maryland and Pennsylvania, too. ...
