"We must show new energy in fighting back an old evil. Nearly two centuries after the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, and more than a century after slavery was officially ended in its last strongholds, the trade in human beings for any purpose must not be allowed to thrive in our time" (George Bush, 2003). Human Trafficking, and other associated evils, have existed since the dawn of time. Today 's human trafficking has become a way of life, a criminal underworld upon whose existence stands crime rings, governments, government agencies and even some businesses. It has grown to a trade of immense dimensions with fingers throughout the entire realm of organized crime.

Even the most powerful nations are not immune from modern day slavery.The main contributors to human trafficking are governmental corruption, economic and social crisis within each nation's borders.Globalization is the development of an increasingly integration marked especially by free trade that transcends nation-state boundaries. Human trafficking represents a highly and interconnected world because as the world evolves and people become more connected, the transfer of people both voluntarily and coerced is becoming more prevalent. Human trafficking is a very lucrative business that extends beyond nation-state boundaries Human trafficking represents a highly and interconnected world because it is tightly connected to the worlds economy, and ironically is caused by the gap of the wealthy and poor even though it has been present for centuries the government is just beginning to address this common problem..

“Human trafficking deprives people of their human rights and freedoms, it is a global health risk, and it fuels the growth of organized crime.

Human trafficking is a societal issue that has been existent for ages. It is considered a vice the world over. The social justice issue has three main aspects that help understand its holistic nature. It is important to understand the act, how it is done, and the reason it is done. This paper seeks to major on how it is done (the means) in the United States. Human trafficking involves the acquiring or transfer of persons (the act). The act means that there must be two parties involved; those who receive and those who transfer persons.

Human trafficking has become one of the biggest criminal enterprises concerning a large quantity of human beings, large amounts of money paid to illegal smugglers, and a mass amount of innocent lives lost. Secretary of State John Kerry states that “we find perhaps no greater threat to human dignity, no greater assault on basic freedom, than the evil of human trafficking” (As cited in Gaspard, 2014).

Because immigration is increasing many countries fear that the growth will lead to a higher probability of terrorist activity. Another major reason why countries are scared of illegal immigration growth is because they fear that terrorist organizations will penetrate their terrorist members into the population.
