control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.

                              {time}  1130


                             general leave

  Mr. NADLER. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks 
and include extraneous material on S. 3946.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from New York?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. NADLER. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of S. 3946, the Abolish Human 
Trafficking Reauthorization Act, which reauthorizes crucial programs 
that help combat human trafficking.
  Human trafficking is a multibillion-dollar criminal industry that 
exists in cities, suburbs, and rural towns, and denies freedom to 
nearly 25 million people around the world. Our inability to see the 
harms of human trafficking allows it to persist and leaves victims 
vulnerable, sometimes even as they think they have found those who will 
help them escape.
  S. 3946 would reauthorize and extend many critical programs through 
2027 that are vital to the fight to end this form of modern-day 
slavery.
  The Trafficking Victims Protection Act, or TVPA, is a crucial law 
that provides the legal framework for the United States to combat, 
monitor, and prosecute human trafficking crimes, while also providing 
key services to victims of trafficking.
  S. 3946 would reauthorize key TVPA programs through 2027 that fund 
restorative services for victim and law enforcement antitrafficking 
operations and training.
  This legislation would also establish confidentiality protections for 
victims; prioritize cybersecurity enforcement; provide funding to 
States that identify, respond to, and prevent trafficking within their 
foster care systems; assist victims who have had their documentation 
stolen; improve data collection; support forced labor investigations; 
and authorize funding for the Department of Health and Human Services 
and the Department of Homeland Security.
  Lastly, this reauthorization would extend the life of the National 
Sexual Assault Hotline and provide permanent authorization of the 
Department of Justice's Domestic Trafficking Victims' Fund, which is 
financed through fines paid by convicted traffickers and sexual 
predators.
  Too often we think that human trafficking is something that happens 
elsewhere in other cities and other countries, but human trafficking 
touches every community, every city, and every suburb. That is why we 
must continue to do all that we can to raise awareness, provide hope, 
provide support to victims and survivors, and to ensure that there is 
accountability for those who commit this terrible crime. This 
legislation does just that.
  This bipartisan legislation is supported by a broad coalition of 
advocates for victims and survivors of trafficking and sexual abuse, 
law enforcement, and prosecutors.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Senators Cornyn and Klobuchar for introducing 
this important legislation. I urge all my colleagues to support it, and 
I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Madam Speaker, again, this legislation is fine. I will just say 
this--my colleague and the chair of the Judiciary Committee said this--
this problem is everywhere. I don't disagree. It is a terrible problem. 
But let's be honest, where the problem is the worst is our southern 
border.
  Four million illegal migrants have come into this country in the 23 
months of the Biden administration. That is where it is the worst. The 
cartels are making tons of money on moving people. What happens to 
women and children in that journey is so wrong, and that is what we 
should be focused on.
  My colleagues on the other side do not want to address it, they don't 
even want to go see it, the President hasn't even been there. This 
legislation is fine, and it can be helpful--God bless America.
  But let's focus on the real issue here: the 4 million people the 
cartels are bringing across our border--we no longer have a border.
  If title 42 goes away, that chaotic situation gets even worse. That 
is what we should be focused on, and my colleagues don't want to do it.
  Madam Speaker, this legislation is fine, and I yield back the balance 
of my time.
  Mr. NADLER. Madam Speaker, S. 3946 provides vital resources to 
identify and protect victims and survivors of human trafficking, 
prevent human trafficking, and further victimization of survivors, and 
seek out and hold accountable those who dare to commit this heinous 
offense.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I yield 
back the balance of my time.
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of S. 3946, the 
Abolish Human Trafficking Reauthorization Act.
  Human trafficking can happen anywhere in America--in rural 
communities in the form of agricultural labor, in urban communities in 
the form of massage parlors, and suburban communities in the form of 
domestic labor, or in any combination.
  And although some populations are at greater risk than others, human 
trafficking spans all races, ages, genders, and every socioeconomic 
status.
  People who have been trafficked, whether for labor or sex, are not 
criminals. They are victims who deserve victim-focused, culturally 
informed responses that direct them towards services critical to 
sustaining them as they heal and away from the criminal justice system.

[[Page H10022]]

  I am sure we can agree that we must better support victims of labor 
and sex trafficking, ensure that they are not revictimized or 
stigmatized, and provide them with services that help them successfully 
re-integrate into society.
  And, while we tend to focus on sex trafficking, we must do more to 
shine a light on incidences of labor trafficking and victims of forced 
labor. This begins with gathering better data.
  This legislation would reauthorize and strengthen several programs 
aimed at preventing human trafficking and protecting victims and 
survivors within the Trafficking Victims Protection Act or the TVPA--
the cornerstone of the U.S. antitrafficking response.
  This bill would also encourage collaboration among those entities 
that identify and support victims, improve law enforcement training, 
promote data collection, prioritize efforts to respond to cybercrime, 
and strengthen certain protections for victims and survivors.
  I thank Senators Cornyn and Klobuchar for their continued dedication 
to the fight to end human trafficking. I urge all of my colleagues to 
support S. 3946.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler) that the House suspend the rules 
and pass S. 3946.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the 
rules were suspended and the bill was passed.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
