First and foremost with Lesley D you need to check your country first.

Second you need to check your issue. What YOU are discussing and citing is a worldwide organized PROSTITION RING. A thriving $3 billion+ business.

What the OP is presenting is a the issue of MIGRANT FARM WORKERS.
Two VERY different issues. Mexicans are intimately familiar with this status.

Thirdly, in the US, since I am looking at my backyard, the migrant farm workers are granted PROTECTION status at many levels and are handsomely paid compare to DR.

As a person that has not just driven by these workers but whose job it was to STOP and ENGAGE them as a government agent to make sure their RIGHTS were PROTECTED, you don't have a clue what you are talking about. I know my heart and intentions were in the right place. And don't doubt it violators were PROSECUTED under my watch. I also INTIMATELY worked with Dept of Labor who was also there to do the same.

I've also travelled to their camps which in no shape, way or form do they compare to the standards of bateyes.

Rather than pointing fingers outside, the DR and ruling families should check their conscious.

Look in your own back yard, before you complaint about somebody else's.

Did I mentioned that many of them were lured with promises of riches? But, I guess you knew that already.

Here, take a look for yourself...
