Republicans OPPOSE renewing legislation to protect children from sex trafficking.

*Source on this:Tuesday's Chris Hayes show on MSNBC)

Not only is this an evil stand on their part from the perspective of simple decency, it gives us something we could make a HUGE issue of in the fall.

Republicans are willing to make it easier for kids to be victims of sex trafficking JUST to prove that they're tough on immigration.

We could blast the House away from them with this one...but will the DSCC have the guts to go there?

Is it tied to something else? Or is it legislation that allows kids to stay in the US if they've been trafficked, so that they see it as some sort of 'loophole amnesty'?

The point is, excuse or not, they are willing to endanger children just to make a political point.
