Cristina was just 24 years-old, living in a rural farming village in Mexico, when Amador Cortes-Meza told her he was falling in love with her. He promised her marriage and a good job, and then brought her to the United States. But when she arrived in the Atlanta area, he physically abused her and forced her to work as a prostitute.
“That's when I realized he was not telling me the truth,” said Cristina (not her real name). “A man who loves a woman would not make them do that. I lived under his humiliation, I lived under the beatings, under the fear, there was nothing I could do.”
She is an example of an insidious form of slavery spreading across the United States – prostitution operations that traffic in women and children from Latin America.
In these operations, “closed-network” houses of prostitution cater to customers of a specific race or ethnicity, in this case, Hispanic women and Hispanic customers. One nonprofit anti-trafficking group labels them Latino Residential Brothels, or LRBs.

...better keep an eye on your kids, too, fellow Americans. Rackets like that tend to spread. And I wouldn’t be surprised, if it weren’t already happening. As you know, the favored constituents who control the politicians in both political parties long ago decided that our country will join the Third World.
Good ideas!
Alas!
I wasn't remarking on her culpability.
OK I’ll bite. Screw all of them!! The pimps, the hookers, the drunks, the drug users, the drug dealers, the kidnappers, the democrats, the murderers, the thieves, the liberals, the counterfeiters, the gangbangers, etc.........
Ping!
New form of trafficking?
Sadly, not.
You forgot the Progressives! Oh, wait...same thing.
