SA 1251. Mr. CORNYN (for himself, Mr. Crapo, Mr. Blunt, Mr. Kirk, Mr. Hatch, Mr. Alexander, Mr. Isakson, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Burr, Mr. Chambliss, Mr. Johanns, and Mr. Barrasso) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill S. 744, to provide for comprehensive immigration reform and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows: Strike section 2 and all that follows through the end of title I inserting the following: SEC. 2. STATEMENT OF CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS. Congress makes the following findings: (1) Every sovereign nation has an unconditional right and duty to secure its territory and people, which right depends on control of its international borders. The sovereign people and several states of the United States have delegated these sovereign functions to the Federal Government (United States Constitution, article I, section 8, clause 4). The liberty and prosperity of the people depends on the execution of this duty. (2) The passage of this Act recognizes that the Federal Government must secure the sovereignty of the United States of America and establish a coherent and just system for integrating those who seek to join American society. (3) The United States has failed to control its Southern border. The porousness of that border has contributed to the proliferation of the narcotics trade and its attendant violent crime. The trafficking and smuggling of persons across the border is an ongoing human rights scandal. (4) We have always welcomed immigrants to the United States and will continue to do so, but in order to qualify for the honor and privilege of eventual citizenship, our laws must be followed. The world depends on America to be strong economically, militarily, and ethically. The establishment of a stable, just, and efficient immigration system only supports those goals. As a Nation, we have the right and responsibility to make our borders safe, to establish clear and just rules for seeking citizenship, to control the flow of legal immigration, and to eliminate illegal immigration, which in some cases has become a threat to our national security. (5) Throughout our long history, many lawful immigrants have assimilated into American society and contributed to our strength and prosperity. Our immigration policy strives to welcome those who share the values of the United States Constitution and seek to contribute to our nation's greatness. But no person has a right to enter the United States unless by its express permission and in accordance with the procedures established by law. (6) This Act is premised on the right and need of the United States to achieve these goals, and to protect its borders and maintain its sovereignty. SEC. 3. EFFECTIVE DATE TRIGGERS.

SEC. 1119. HUMAN TRAFFICKING REPORTING. (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Human Trafficking Reporting Act of 2013''. (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following: (1) Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery. (2) According to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 ``severe forms of trafficking in persons'' means-- (A) sex trafficking in which a commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such act has not attained 18 years of age; or (B) the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery. (3) There is an acute need for better data collection of incidents of human trafficking across the United States in order to effectively combat severe forms of trafficking in persons. (4) The State Department's 2012 Trafficking in Persons report found that-- (A) the United States is a ``source, transit and destination country for men, women, and children, subjected to forced labor, debt bondage, domestic servitude and sex trafficking,''; and (B) the United States needs to ``improve data collection on human trafficking cases at the Federal, state and local levels''. (5) The International Organization for Migration has reported that in order to effectively combat human trafficking there must be reliable and standardized data, however, the following barriers for data collection exist: (A) The illicit and underground nature of human trafficking. (B) The reluctance of victims to share information with authorities. (C) Insufficient human trafficking data collection and research efforts by governments world wide. (6) A 2009 report to the Department of Health and Human Services entitled Human Trafficking Into and Within the United States: A Review of the Literature found that ``the data and methodologies for estimating the prevalence of human trafficking globally and nationally are not well developed, and therefore estimates have varied widely and changed significantly over time''. (7) The Federal Bureau of Investigation compiles national crime statistics through the Uniform Crime Reporting Program. (8) Under current law, State and local governments receiving Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance grants are required to share data on part 1 violent crimes with the Federal Bureau of Investigation for inclusion in the Uniform Crime Reporting Program. (9) The addition of severe forms of trafficking in persons to the definition of part 1 violent crimes will ensure that statistics on this heinous crime will be compiled and available through the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Report. (c) Human Trafficking To Be Included in Part 1 Violent Crimes for Purposes of Byrne Grants.--Section 505 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 3755) is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: ``(i) Part 1 Violent Crimes To Include Human Trafficking.-- For purposes of this section, the term `part 1 violent crimes' shall include severe forms of trafficking in persons, as defined in section 103 of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 7102).''.

The Secretary may delegate any authority provided to the Secretary under this Act or an amendment made by this Act to the Secretary of Agriculture, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of State, or the Commissioner of Social Security. SEC. 1122. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Act or any amendment made by this Act, or any application of such provision or amendment to any person or circumstance, is held to be unconstitutional, the remainder of the provisions of this Act and the amendments made by this Act and the application of the provision or amendment to any other person or circumstance shall not be affected.
