The general definition for human trafficking is when people are taken from one place to another for the benefit of the person or persons who organized the movement. It is usually applied when women from an Eastern European country are lured to the United States to be models or actresses and are sold into prostitution. The same term applies when Asians or Latinos are brought in to work in jobs as slaves. They are kept in bondage conditions without the ability to go out by themselves. This is a despicable crime and is punished by years in prisons.

            Today we are experiencing another form of human trafficking. The Governors of Florida, Arizona, and Texas are telling migrants to board buses to get to the cities they want to go to, or to cities where they will get housing, food and work. Florida’s Governor is doing this with people in Texas. He says he has a 20 million dollar budget from state funds to do this. This is a classic definition of Human Trafficking. His benefit is not in money but for political gain. The trafficked people supposedly gave permission to do so but little kids without parents can’t give legal permission. They were told family members were at the end of the bus ride to get them on the bus.

            Since this qualifies as human trafficking shouldn’t the bus drivers and pilots be arrested and their buses and planes be confiscated? I bet that would put a stop to this political chicanery since no company would risk losing their assets. If Florida’s Ron DeSantis was actually directing or involved then he should be visited by the FBI with handcuffs.
