"anywhere from people-trafficking, drug trade, etc..

These trends are world wide.

I am concerned about the issue of people-trafficking, which I think needs to be given more attention than it is.

1) The birth rate ratio in Eastern Countries has been 117 boys to 100 girls for a long time. This is a trend world wide but in that region is it firmly established. That is an extra 17 boys per 200 children, which extrapolates to 117,000,000 extra young men per 2 billion in India and China; Two rising super powers.

What do we know about young men who have no familial goals or constructive purpose in life? We know they tend to gang up to violently accomplish their less noble goals. This, I believe, will be the engine that drives us all over a cliff of world wide social catastrophy in the next 20 years. India and China have recently formed a strong alliance to specifically prepare to challenge the West in coming times. They are attempting to enlist other nations like Russia, and I believe they will be successful over time at creating a block of power.

2) National borders have gotten very squishy and porous in the Western Hemisphere which also exascerbates the trafficking issue. It wouldn't bother me if we became more like one big happy family of cultures but what is happening in stead is that criminal and unsavory sorts are using the the lack of border control to evade the law and as a strategem to bolster their deviant lifestyles.
