Human trafficking tends to occur
around international travel-hubs with large immigrant populations, such as
California and Texas. The U.S. Justice Department estimates that 14,500–17,500
people, including young children, teenagers, men and women, are trafficked into
the country every year. They can be domestic citizens or foreign nationals.
According to the Department of State’s statistics from 2000, there are
approximately 244,000 American children and youth that are at risk for sex
trafficking each year.
