The Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) has acknowledged the importance of Texas Human Trafficking Prevention Month, a designation made by Governor Abbott. In a statement, Melissa Ford Maldonado, TPPF's Secure and Sovereign Frontier Policy Director, emphasized the gravity of the issue and the need for action.

Maldonado stated, "Human trafficking is a growing threat to not only Texas but also the rest of the country and the world. Texas is at the forefront of the fight against this modern-day slavery, providing resources for survivors and promoting awareness among Texans to recognize the signs of human trafficking."

Recognizing the role of Mexican cartels in fueling this heinous trade, Maldonado highlighted their substantial financial gains from human smuggling and trafficking activities. She stressed the importance of securing the southwest border, an effort actively pursued by the state of Texas, to stem the tide of human trafficking.

During Human Trafficking Prevention Month, Maldonado urged all Texans to utilize the available resources to educate themselves about the dangers and indicators of human trafficking. She also called on communities to support survivors and work together to break the cycle of bondage. Additionally, she appealed to the federal government to prioritize border security.
