Comparative Research
In Israel, they are a parliamentary democracy which means the people vote representatives to vote on laws for the country. Israel also has a prime minister that is voted by the residents. United States is almost the same as Israel except in the United States has a judiciary branch. The United States use this branch to make sure the laws we past are constitutional. Israel parliamentary branch creates the laws, and the prime minister signs off on the law. Both countries use a system of checks and balances to insure not one branch will get to strong.
Human trafficking in the United States is mostly handled by Homeland Security and the FBI. In Israel the immigration police deal with all their human trafficking laws. The U.S. has laws in place to combat human trafficking, but they are not working as they should. People being smuggled into the United States have become a huge problem. Some of these people are turned into sex slaves, or into labor slaves. The United States policy on Human trafficking is you get deported or you go to prison for 10 years.
Israel is very different from the United States on human trafficking. In 2011, Israel was considered a Tier 2 country because of their human trafficking problem, and was also ranked the 3rd in the world. They have tried to get the trafficking down, but haven’t realized that they need to stop prostitution in their country.
I believe that Israel and the United States have got it wrong. When women are trafficked into their country they should try and help these women. They should also create a system for the current prostitutes to get them off the street. People who are trafficking human beings into their own country should get their citizenship revoked instead of wasting money on them for 16 years in prison. I think the world needs to take a bigger stand on human traffickers.
