Ok, Ok, so what is the harm in proposing a law that would protect children? How can this possibly get any negative looks?
Well overlooking the obvious items that should scare the hell out of you, one should notice the out in out lies they use to justify this law. Here are a couple of examples:
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, most victims of sex offenders are children and youth, and sex offenders have a high risk of reoffending.
In order to protect children, it is essential that United States law enforcement be able to identify child sex offenders in the United States who are traveling abroad and child sex offenders from other countries entering the United States.
First, The NCMEC numbers are an absolute lie. Less than 33% of known cases of exploitation are that of children. The government and several scholarly groups have published reports on this. MOST sexually exploited individuals are above the age of 18. Secondly, 1.8 million kids a year? there are over 60 MILLION kids just in the United States. So basically, the US government is stating that they are going after criminals internationally that are fewer than that of killers, robbers, etc. Why is that? Because Children are our more treasured assets? I highly doubt it. This gives them a way in to countries that have otherwise shunned US support. Sex Offenders also are one of the LOWEST re-offenders out there. This statement is absolutely fabricated to gain support and votes.
The second statement, in order to protect children blah blah blah... sorry, that doesn't hold water either. Over 93% of all children that are sexually abused are abused in their own homes or by a family friend. If this is true (and it is) then that means a very tiny portion of sex offenders globally are being looked at.
So why fight this law? Any reasonable person would sit back and think, this is good, we won't allow anyone into the country that has harmed a child. Wrong. This relies on the other governments want or need to tell you that they are coming, and as well, also relies that they are on the other countries 'registry'. Ex-Offenders are not your worry, the ones that are not on the registry, and are still offending should be your worry. This law does nothing to stop THOSE offenders from entering legally, and causing a child harm.
One more point to ponder. What happens to a person on the registry that has a job requiring them to travel for business? They will not be able to travel, will lose their job, and then will be homeless, unstable,. and have a much greater chance to re-offend.
Bad Law, Bad Politicians pushing for it. I think it's time we let them know this shit won't fly anymore.
