[Webster]

(The Guardian) 20 Republicans oppose support for human trafficking victims
A bill pledging support for human trafficking victims has passed the House, with 20 Republicans voting against.

They include Florida congressman Matt Gaetz, who is the subject of a justice department investigation involving sex with a 17-year-old girl who once traveled with him, and several other close allies of former president Donald Trump.

They don't want to help out these poor people? Why not?

It’s what they have included in the bill they are against not about not helping these people. This why adding pork in a bill should not be allowed.

Doesn't matter; they still voted against it.

If they really cared about those people, they wouldn't use it to stuff it full of irrelvelant pork spending. They would pass a clean bill and leave all the rest out. What you have instead are Democrats exploiting the victims of human trafficking for profit which is what all pork spending is ultimately about as the money eventually makes it way back to them in one form or another. This goes for both parties by the way which are both guilty of it. I think if anything is added to a bill that it has to be shown why it's relevant to the main topic of the bill before it can be added in.
