Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Introduces Legislation to fight the Illicit Tobacco Trade

Jackson Lee—“The illicit trade in tobacco underpins some of the gravest transnational threats to the United States and our allies. Illicit tobacco trafficking is not a victimless offense; it facilitates other, more heinous crimes including money laundering and trafficking in weapons, drugs, antiquities, diamonds, counterfeit goods, and—worst of all—human beings. The Combatting the Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products Act (CITTPA) would improve the U.S. Government’s ability to identify and deter those engaging in the trade of illicit tobacco.”Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee released this statement on the introduction of the Combating the Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products Act (CITTPA) in the House of Representatives: “The illicit trade in tobacco underpins some of the gravest transnational threats to the United States and our allies. Illicit tobacco trafficking is not a victimless offense; it facilitates other, more heinous crimes including money laundering and trafficking in weapons, drugs, antiquities, diamonds, counterfeit goods, and—worst of all—human beings. “More than one out of every ten cigarettes smoked worldwide—11.6 percent of global consumption—is illicit. This is big business, and without intervention, it shows no signs of stopping. The Combatting the Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products Act will give the United States better information and tools to combat this dangerous activity. “The Combatting the Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products Act (CITTPA) would improve the U.S. Government’s ability to identify and deter those engaging in the trade of illicit tobacco. The bill would provide better information on countries involved with the illicit tobacco trade by requiring the U.S. Secretary of State to report annually on which countries are determined to be a major source of illicit tobacco products or their components and identify which foreign governments are actively engaged and knowingly profiting from this illicit trade. “CITTPA enables the United States to deter countries involved in the illicit tobacco trade and better assist U.S. allies by granting the U.S. Secretary of State the ability to withhold U.S. foreign assistance from those countries knowingly profiting from the illicit trade in tobacco or its activities. In countries where the government is working to stop illicit tobacco trafficking efforts, the Secretary of State would be able to provide assistance for law enforcement training and investigation. I am also pleased that this bill is bipartisan as it enjoys the support of Representative Richard Hudson, who joins this bill as an original co-sponsor. “Additionally, CITTPA helps the United States target individuals assisting in the illicit tobacco trade by authorizing the President of the United States to impose economic sanctions and travel restrictions on any foreign individual found to be engaged in the illicit tobacco trade and requires the president to submit a list of those individuals to Congress.”

Now Is the Time for Citizens of Conscience to Act

Racism is not natural. Babies -- black, brown, white -- explore the world and each other with wonder, not hate. Racism has to be taught. It is learned behavior. To assume that a person is inherently superior or inferior to another based upon race is unnatural and ungodly. Racism is used for political manipulation and economic exploitation. In a land founded on the belief that all men are created equal, slavery could not be justified without a racism that depicted slaves as sub-human.
