Aliens plead guilty in sex slavery case

[quote]Two Brazilian nationals pleaded guilty yesterday to charges of human trafficking and illegal immigration for running a vile Burlington-based prostitution ring. The convictions come as part of an aggressive federal crackdown on sexual slavery, officials said.

Documents in U.S. District Court in Boston depict a house of horrors and intimidation run out of the Lord Baron apartment complex by Vanessa Guedes Lopes, 25, and Raphael Eller Mello, 27.

Each faces life in prison for forcing 11 illegal immigrant women to have sex with johns from Boston’s suburbs to Providence from July 2004 to February 2006. They are to be sentenced in September.

“It’s a very hidden crime,â€

Bush's type of people

We hear the media claiming all the time that "most illegal aliens are good law abidding people".

I wonder how many sex slaves and pimps are out there?

How many drug smugglers, dealers, and junkies?

How many burglars, purse snatchers, and petty thieves?

How many killers?

They probably number in the millions. So much for being "good law abidding people". If we started enforcing immigration law then we might be surprised at how much easier enforcing other laws might become.

Hi lunarminer,

Haven't met you before, so welcome!

Your post is special to me...this is from my letter to the president 3/27/06,

I'm so angry at all this sympathy for people who choose to disobey the
laws of our country and do so every single day they stay here (and at the
businesses who give our jobs away, cheaply) and at our gov't at all levels
allowing this INVASION to go on. Immigrants are those who go through the
system, fill out papers, get checked out, learn English and obey the law!

I am the victim of illegals...Cuban, Nicaraguan, Colombian, Peruvian, &
Mexican. These kids were in an international gang that robbed me off and
on for 1 1/2 years (when I was at work at night as an ER RN, helping
people!), before they threatened my life (spray-painted "We're going to
kill you, you f...... Anglo bitch", all over my walls), broke in while I
was there with a gun, then when I left for my safety, burned my house
down, putting me into $25,000 in debt. Yes, the police gang unit was
trying, but the professionalism of the gang, as well as the physical
layout of the neighborhood, always gave the gang members time to escape.
They only got the gang member, who removed his glove, while he sprayed the
accelerant all over my furniture and my thousands of books. His
thumbprint was left on the accelerant can.

I cannot believe that the gang members parents didn't know that they had too much stuff or too much money!

My good legal immigrant Hispanic friends (Miami, Fl.) didn't know how I could even talk to them. I just told them that there are good and bad in EVERY race and ethnicity.

Hello curiouspat,

I'm a new member but I've been very angry over our immigration policy for years. So, I joined this group.

I'm sorry to hear about your experiences.

For my part I have not been a victim. I've been lucky.

I learned the other day that 1/3 of the inmates in our prisons are illegal aliens. Can you believe that? This should be something that our law enforcement officials and politicians should be screaming about. It either means that criminals make up the majority of illegal aliens or it means that there are many times more illegals than what is being reported. Either answer means that we have a very big problem.
