Look What Was Found Back Home.

Smuggling of illegal aliens has been a hot topics lately with all the immigration law debate. I am not caught up on immigration laws but am well familiar with the human trafficking that goes on down south. This is scary. These people have paid the traffickers and are trusting them with their lives. And this is what the smugglers do to them. Even if they had been traficked in this vehicle, they would have arrived at their destination seriously hypothermic. Who would leave them in a refridgerated trailer? It's just cruel.

LAREDO, Texas (AP) -- Sheriff's deputies found 56 illegal immigrants locked inside a refrigerated trailer with no driver in sight and no way for the shivering human cargo to escape. Two suspected immigrant smugglers from Mexico were later arrested.

Recently, some Houston men were arrested on trafficking women to work as bar maids. The women, some underaged, were brought into Houston and promised good jobs at local restaurants but instead were forced into involuntary servitude working as bar maids and providing "favors" for preferred customers.

It's horrible.
