The Christian Utopia of Texas Ranks High in Rape for Profit Victims
Houston ranks No. 1 among U.S. cities thought to have the most victims of human trafficking. The rank comes from new numbers released on the total calls made to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center tip line. The crime is so underreported that FBI agents say calls to a national tip line indicate the size and location of the problem.
Among states, Texas ranks second. Only California had more calls in 2013, according to the FBI.
The FBI, along with local and state law enforcement agencies and many elected officials kicked off a new campaign against human trafficking Tuesday morning at a press conference at Houston’s City Hall.
“The fact that slavery exists in America today is embarrassing. It’s frustrating, frightening and tragic,” Mayor Annise Parker, D-Houston, said.
