Tijuana Adult Entertainment: Slavery Bigger Than Ever in America
Local and state police and family service agencies in California and other states have established task forces to investigate and initiate prosecutions of human traffickers. Yet, given the magnitude of the problem, the number of those caught and prosecuted is still abysmally low.
The popular conception is that human trafficking is done by foreigners, who operate well-connected smuggling rings. Thats hardly the case. Many human traffickers work for domestic, farm and labor contractors, and many of those are Americans. Many more Americans unwittingly encourage the practice.
The flap over the scam of ACORN was a casebook example of that. Two filmmakers posing as a prostitute and pimp caught ACORN workers allegedly telling the pair how to set up a prostitution ring of underage girls from El Salvador and avoid taxes. The scam was aimed to politically embarrass President Obama. He was a onetime staff attorney for the group. However, the ACORN flap pointed up the wide extent and awareness of slave trafficking.
