BBC News - Trafficked: Sex slaves seduced and sold

This is a topic that few of the nativists and so called "anti illegal" types want to touch with a ten foot pole.

Mainly because they don't want to admit that the illegality of prostitution in the US fuels illegal immigration, and that by legalizing prostitution we could not only end the abuses that go along with trafficking but we would also reduce illegal immigration.

Most of the "anti-illegal" types want to have their cake and eat it too - they claim to not like illegals (in reality, it's not liking Latinos and to a much lesser extent not liking Asians) but they don't want to change American society in such a way that would reduce illegal immigration further.

There's actually data that suggests legalization of prostitution in the Netherlands has actually increased organized crime around the business. One model I'm a fan of is the Swedish model... if I'm not mistaken, it makes it illegal to purchase sex but not to provide it. You avoid prosecuting women who may have been trafficked while also targeting the demand for it.

I have no idea what 'we' are doing, you want to watch out for that.

I can tell you what 'I' was doing though, i was posting something on my way out the door and thought i'd get back to it when i was able.

This isn't too dissimilar to what's happening in Europe with an increase in sex-slave and white slavery from Eastern Europe into Central Europe. Almost all the prostitutes/slaves are illegal immigrants. Some are brought in and others are 'recruited' from illegals that are found localy.

Here is a link to the issue with regards to the UK.

The problem is how to stop it. Poor people want a better life and many seem to take the risk of trusting these traffickers in the hope of getting it. I can't imagine this is what they were expecting and the articles would certainly seem to re-inforce that.

People need to start handing over the traffickers to the authorities but they're very hard to catch with a mass of middle-men in between them and the punter paying the money.

The following link is worth a read for those that are interested in the UK laws on prostitution and how local police and authorities are trying to help them as far as they're able because as most will admit, prostitution isn't going away anytime soon.

Sweden, since introducing those laws, has seen a decrease in the number of Swedish citizens involved in prostitution. However, it has seen a massive increase in not only illegal immigration but specifically human trafficking for the purpose of prostitution. It's more social engineering that goes against human nature.

Said "data from the Netherlands" comes from rather biased sources like Phyllis Schlafly and Melissa Farley. Expecting them to provide reliable statistics related to prostitution is like expecting Orly Taitz to provide reliable information regarding Obama's birth certificate or expecting Move On to provide reliable information regarding Republican voters.

New Zealand's model of full legalization has decreased the involvement of minors and illegal immigrants in the world's oldest profession, and that is a better model to emulate. Like it or not prostitution will never go away. Might as well make it safe and legal.
