Hmmm, the old slavery slant again. Notice the phrase about "brothel to brothel". Just how many brothels are there in the USA that could fit this scenario? There are less than a dozen legal ones in Nevada. Most of the girls there are not asian, and in fact all of them are citizens. Those houses file IRS forms with SSN numbers just like any other business. The few other places that could be called brothels in the USA just wouldn't make up enough volume to handle as many girls as they talk about in these types of report. I've seen claims of 200,000 to as "little" as 50,000 slaves imported per year. If you multiply that by 10 years of continuous activity, you wind up with as many slaves chained to beds as residents of many larger cities. Just where are these entire metropolis' of slaves? When was the last time that we saw a report on these sites that said "it was a nice session, except for the rope that kept her tied down"? This isn't to say that they didn't crack an asian crime ring. Nor that H1B visas aren't abused, even for foreign computer programmers. But... Most of these reports are yellow journalism (sex sells papers), combined with the gung-ho P.R. announcements of D.A.'s.
