Finally Cracking Down on Human Trafficking

In the blog Everything is Better in Texas, the author wrote an article titled Human Trafficking in Houston, where she talks about new legislation passed in which people found guilty of Human Trafficking will face much harsher punishment than previously. She says new punishments could consist of being registered as a Texas Sex Offender, guilty of a First Degree felony and up to life in prison. She feels as if it is about time human trafficking is exposed to stricter punishments, and it is. I completely agree, why in 2011 is human trafficking finally a First Degree felony? It definitely should have been for awhile now, but like the author says at least Texas legislators are finally taking a more stringent approach to human trafficking.
