I agree 100 percent with Trump on this!

[Cassiusclay]

A good choice. If you make human trafficking a death sentence then no one would do it.

[RockingMetal]

I would love for the Human Traffickers in the Medical system to see the same death penalty. They are just as evil as Cartels. They operate like a Medical Cartel

[jenniferjohnson]

Never thought I would agree with trump yet here I am.

[michaelmorrison]

Hell yea!! Make the punishment so severe the criminal is afraid to commit the crime. There's something similar to that idea in The Art of War

I dislike trump but I 100% agree with him on this

And for those of you who think the death penalty is too far of a punishment, let me also remind you that to see people take lives with murder, rape, torture, and they also use methods of extortion to get their way. The victims who survive these attacks are traumatized and most don’t fully recover for that experience, and those who do make a full recovery take a long time to actually recover from those attacks, and the family of the victim I would also consider victims since they have to cope with the fact that happened to their loved one.

If anything I think the death penalty is the perfect punishment for the inhuman people who do this.
