Modern Day Slavery

In 2010, there are twenty-seven million people in slavery which is the most people enslaved in all of American history. That fact right there makes me sick to my stomach thinking about how much things have not changed and how they have gotten worse. Modern day slavery is found in factories, farms, and sex trafficking. These people that are being enslaved are being lured in under false promises at something better than what they have. I have also watched so many stories on TV about young females going on Spring Break with some of their friends in a hot spot for college students on spring break. Some of these girls are never even heard from or seen ever again because they were kidnapped and sold in sex trafficking. These women that are being help captive in sex trafficking slavery cannot escape because most of them are drugged up to a point where they cannot even function. Also their lives are in danger and they are going along with things because it is their only way to survive. The U.S. hosts a lot of immigrants that they have saved from their country and were enslaved into sex trafficking.
