| Trafficking is modern day slavery, but is different from human smuggling. Human smuggling is when people are moved across the border for a fee. A Human trafficker forces labor by holding a person against their will. The sex industry, such as Asian massage parlors and young girls being moved from city to city and sold to men for sex on eBay (and other such services), is the worst form of this slavery. However, nail parlors can also be used by traffickers, as can construction workers and hotel room cleaners (also, those kiosks in the mall where the workers always seem to be from another country).Often workers are keep in a drop house (perhaps as many a 30 or 40 per house) under guard. Vans take them to work each day and the contractor takes their pay. In the southwest you often see where ICE raids a drop house and frees a large number of people living in slavery. The Traffickers keep any documents (like passports or ids) so the worker can not leave and often the family of those held are extorted for money to free their family member. As mentioned, debt is often used to control the workers.If I were in charge I would free the workers and put a double tap in the heads of the traffickers. |
