That reminds me...I once read an account of a journalist who actually got off his backside and mingled in with the third world hordes attempting to reach the UK.
Among them was no highfalutin talk of a better life, religious freedom, getting a job, providing for a family or escaping oppression. They wanted the goodies, pure and simple: ‘In Britain, they give you a house.’ This was the article of faith and, unfortunately, they weren’t far wrong.
These scroungers are illiterate but their word of mouth communication has cemented in their minds the legend of Easy Street in Western democracies.
The coyotes (which is a new term for slave traders) use similar promises to hook desperately poor third worlders into human trafficking. And then they deliver them to various types of slaveholders, where they find out that the land of milk and honey they were promised is not waiting, and they are threatened and beaten just in case they want to escape from their situation.
I find no small amount of irony in the fact that our government is doing everything it can to protect and promote the illegal alien slave trade, while putting up signs in rest areas to alert people of human trafficking and training federal workers on recognizing the characteristics of businesses that use slave labor (often sleazy bars and night clubs).
