SEC. 2. PURPOSES AND FINDINGS.

    (a) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are to combat trafficking 
in persons, a contemporary manifestation of slavery whose victims are 
predominantly women and children, to ensure just and effective 
punishment of traffickers, and to protect their victims.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds that:
            (1) Millions of people every year, primarily women and 
        children, are trafficked within or across international 
        borders. Approximately 50,000 women and children are trafficked 
        into the United States each year.
            (2) Many of these persons are trafficked into the 
        international sex trade, often by means of force, fraud, or 
        coercion. The sex industry has rapidly expanded over the past 
        several decades. It involves sexual exploitation of persons, 
        predominantly women and girls, within activities related to 
        prostitution, pornography, sex tourism, and other commercial 
        sexual services. The rapid expansion of the sex industry and 
        the low status of women in many parts of the world have 
        contributed to a burgeoning of the trafficking industry.
            (3) Trafficking in persons is not limited to the sex 
        industry. Such trafficking also involves forced labor and other 
        violations of internationally recognized human rights. The 
        worldwide trafficking of persons is a growing transnational 
        crime, migration, economics, labor, public health, and human 
        rights problem that is significant on nearly every continent.
            (4) Traffickers primarily target women and girls, who are 
        disproportionately affected by poverty, lack of access to 
        education, chronic unemployment, discrimination, and lack of 
        viable economic opportunities in countries of origin. 
        Traffickers lure women and girls into their networks through 
        false promises of decent working conditions at relatively good 
        pay as nannies, maids, dancers, factory workers, restaurant 
        workers, sales clerks, or models. Traffickers also buy children 
        from poor families and sell them into prostitution or into 
        various types of forced or bonded labor.
            (5) Traffickers often facilitate victims' movement from 
        their home communities to unfamiliar destinations, away from 
        family and friends, religious institutions, and other sources 
        of protection and support, making the victims more vulnerable.
            (6) Victims are often forced to engage in sex acts or to 
        perform labor or other services through physical violence, 
        including rape and other forms of sexual abuse, torture, 
        starvation, and imprisonment, through threats of violence, and 
        through other forms of psychological abuse and coercion.
            (7) Traffickers often make representations to their victims 
        that physical harm may occur to them or to others should the 
        victim escape or attempt to escape. Such representations can 
        have the same coercive effects on victims as specific threats 
        to inflict such harm.
            (8) Trafficking in persons is perpetrated increasingly by 
        organized and sophisticated criminal enterprises. Such 
        trafficking is the fastest growing source of profits for 
        organized criminal enterprises worldwide. Profits from the 
        trafficking industry contribute to the expansion of organized 
        criminal activity in the United States and around the world. 
        Trafficking often is aided by official corruption in countries 
        of origin, transit, and destination, thereby threatening the 
        rule of law.
            (9) Trafficking, when it involves the involuntary 
        participation of another person in sex acts by means of fraud, 
        force, or coercion, includes all the elements of the crime of 
        forcible rape.
            (10) Trafficking also involves violations of other laws, 
        including labor and immigration codes and laws against 
        kidnapping, slavery, false imprisonment, assault, battery, 
        pandering, fraud, and extortion.
            (11) Trafficking exposes victims to serious health risk. 
        Women and children trafficked into the sex industry are exposed 
        to deadly diseases, including HIV and AIDS. Trafficking victims 
        are sometimes worked or physically brutalized to death.
            (12) Trafficking in persons involving slavery-like 
        practices substantially affects interstate and foreign 
        commerce. The United States must take action to eradicate the 
        substantial burdens on commerce that result from trafficking in 
        persons and to prevent the channels of commerce from being used 
        for immoral and injurious purposes.
            (13) Trafficking of persons in all its forms is an evil 
        requiring concerted and vigorous action by countries of origin, 
        transit or destination, and by international organizations.
            (14) Existing legislation and law enforcement in the United 
        States and in other countries have proved inadequate to deter 
        trafficking and to bring traffickers to justice, principally 
        because such legislation and enforcement do not reflect the 
        gravity of the offenses involved. No comprehensive law exists 
        in the United States that penalizes the range of offenses 
        involved in the trafficking scheme. Instead, even the most 
        brutal instances of trafficking into the sex industry are often 
        punished under laws that also apply to lesser offenses such as 
        consensual sexual activity and illegal immigration, so that 
        traffickers typically escape severe punishment.
            (15) In the United States, the seriousness of the crime of 
        trafficking in persons is not reflected in current sentencing 
        guidelines for component crimes of the trafficking scheme, 
        which results in weak penalties for convicted traffickers. 
        Additionally adequate services and facilities do not exist to 
        meet the health care, housing, education, and legal assistance 
        needs for the safe reintegration of domestic trafficking 
        victims.
            (16) In some countries, enforcement against traffickers is 
        also hindered by official indifference, by corruption, and 
        sometimes even by active official participation in trafficking.
            (17) Because existing laws and law enforcement procedures 
        often fail to make clear distinctions between victims of 
        trafficking and persons who have knowingly and willfully 
        violated laws, and because such victims often do not have legal 
        immigration status in the countries into which they are 
        trafficked, the victims are often punished more harshly than 
        the traffickers themselves.
            (18) Because victims of trafficking are frequently 
        unfamiliar with the laws, cultures, and languages of the 
        countries into which they have been trafficked, and because 
        they are often subjected to coercion and intimidation including 
        physical detention, debt bondage, fear of retribution, and fear 
        of forcible removal to countries in which they will face 
        retribution or other hardship, these victims often find it 
        difficult or impossible to report the crimes committed against 
        them or to assist in the investigation and prosecution of such 
        crimes.
            (19) The United States and the international community are 
        in agreement that trafficking in persons involves grave 
        violations of human rights and is a matter of pressing 
        international concern. The international community has 
        repeatedly condemned slavery and involuntary servitude, 
        violence against women, and other elements of trafficking, 
        through declarations, treaties, United Nations resolutions and 
        reports, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; 
        the 1956 Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, 
        the Slave Trade, and Institutions and Practices Similar to 
        Slavery; the 1957 Abolition of Forced Labor Convention; the 
        International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; the 
        Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination 
        Against Women; the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, 
        Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment; United Nations 
        General Assembly Resolutions 50/167, 51/66, and 52/98; the 
        Final Report of the World Congress against Sexual Exploitation 
        of Children (Stockholm, 1996); the Fourth World Conference on 
        Women (Beijing, 1995); and the 1991 Moscow Document of the 
        Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
            (20) Trafficking in persons is a transnational crime with 
        national implications. In order to deter international 
        trafficking and to bring its perpetrators to justice, nations 
        including the United States must recognize that trafficking is 
        a serious offense by prescribing appropriate punishment, by 
        giving priority to investigation and prosecution of trafficking 
        offenses, and by protecting rather than punishing the victims 
        of such offenses. The United States must work bilaterally and 
        multilaterally to abolish the trafficking industry by taking 
        steps to promote and facilitate cooperation among countries 
        linked together by international trafficking routes. The United 
        States must also urge the international community to take 
        strong action in multilateral fora to engage recalcitrant 
        countries in serious and sustained efforts to eliminate 
        trafficking and protect trafficking victims.

                        severe forms of trafficking and from other 
                        discriminatory treatment of such victims due to 
                        such victims having been trafficked, or due to 
                        their having left or entered the country 
                        illegally; and
                            (iv) recognizes the rights of victims and 
                        ensures their access to justice.

        appropriate, in paragraph (3) shall be included in the annual 
        Country Reports on Human Rights Practices on a country-by-
        country basis.

        shall aim to strengthen local and regional capacities to 
        prevent trafficking, prosecute traffickers and assist 
        trafficking victims, and shall include initiatives to enhance 
        cooperative efforts between destination countries and countries 
        of origin and assist in the appropriate reintegration of 
        stateless victims of trafficking.
            (5) Examine the role of the international ``sex tourism''

        an alien individual's continued presence in the United States,

        is a victim of trafficking or a material witness, in order to 
        effectuate prosecution of those responsible and to further the 
        humanitarian interests of the United States, and such officials 
        in investigating and prosecuting traffickers shall protect the 
        safety and integrity of trafficking victims, including taking

                appropriate, the spouse, married and unmarried sons and 
                daughters, and parents of an alien described in this 
                subparagraph if accompanying, or following to join, the

                admission to the United States under this subparagraph 
                if there is substantial reason to believe that the 
                person has committed an act of a severe form of 
                trafficking in persons as defined in section 3 of the 
                Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000.''.

national interest to do so. Nothing in this section shall be regarded 
as prohibiting the Attorney General from instituting removal 
proceedings against an alien admitted as a nonimmigrant under section 
101(a)(15)(T) for material nontrafficking related conduct committed 
after the alien's admission into the United States, or for material 
nontrafficking related conduct or a condition that was not disclosed to

under section 101(a)(15)(T).''.

        a continuous period of at least 3 years since the date of 
        admission as a nonimmigrant under section 101(a)(15)(T);

        spouse, married and unmarried sons and daughters, and parents 
        of the alien if admitted under that section) to that of an 
        alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence if the alien is 
        not described in section 212(a)(3)(E).

in excess of 90 days or for any periods in the aggregate exceeding 180 
days.''.

SEC. 8. MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR THE ELIMINATION OF TRAFFICKING.

    (a) Minimum Standards.--For purposes of this Act, the minimum 
standards for the elimination of trafficking for a country that is a 
country of origin, transit, or destination for a significant number of 
victims are the following standards:
            (1) The country should prohibit severe forms of trafficking 
        in persons and punish acts of such trafficking.
            (2) For the knowing commission of any act of sex 
        trafficking involving fraud, force, coercion, or deception, or 
        in which the victim of sex trafficking is a child incapable of 
        giving meaningful consent, or of trafficking which includes 
        rape or kidnapping or which causes a death, the country should 
        prescribe punishment commensurate with that for the most 
        serious crimes, such as forcible sexual assault.
            (3) For the knowing commission of any act of a severe form 
        of trafficking in persons, the country should prescribe 
        punishment which is sufficiently stringent to deter and which 
        adequately reflects the heinous nature of the offense.
            (4) The country should make serious and sustained efforts 
        to eliminate severe forms of trafficking in persons.
    (b) Criteria.--In determinations under subsection (a)(4) the 
following factors should be considered:
            (1) Whether the country vigorously investigates and 
        prosecutes acts of severe forms of trafficking in persons that 
        take place wholly or partly within the territory of the 
        country.
            (2) Whether the country cooperates with other countries in 
        the investigation and prosecution of severe forms of 
        trafficking in persons.
            (3) Whether the country extradites persons charged with 
        acts of severe forms of trafficking in persons on the same 
        terms and to the same extent as persons charged with other 
        serious crimes.
            (4) Whether the country monitors immigration and emigration 
        patterns for evidence of severe forms of trafficking in persons 
        and whether law enforcement agencies of the country respond to 
        any such evidence in a manner which is consistent with the 
        vigorous investigation and prosecution of acts of such 
        trafficking, as well as with the protection of human rights of 
        victims and the internationally recognized human right to leave 
        and return to one's own country.
            (5) Whether the country protects victims of severe forms of 
        trafficking in persons and encourages their assistance in the 
        investigation and prosecution of such trafficking, including 
        provision for legal alternatives to their removal to countries 
        in which they would face retribution or other hardship.
            (6) Whether the country vigorously investigates and 
        prosecutes public officials who participate in or facilitate 
        severe forms of trafficking in persons, and takes all 
        appropriate measures against officials who condone such 
        trafficking.

SEC. 9. ASSISTANCE TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES TO MEET MINIMUM STANDARDS.

    The Secretary of State and the Administrator of the United States 
Agency for International Development are authorized to provide

elimination of trafficking, including drafting of legislation to 
prohibit and punish acts of trafficking, investigation and prosecution 
of traffickers, creation and maintenance of facilities, programs, and
