Just last month, eight Venezuelan illegal aliens in Tennessee were charged with transnational commercial sex enterprising crimes. Last week, I spoke on the Senate floor about my efforts to combat the horrific act of human trafficking.  Last November, the American people returned President Trump to the Oval Office with a mandate to restore common sense in government—especially on the issue of protecting women and girls.
