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. 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).''.
