Re: Re: Are you talking about human trafficking -- drug trafficking? or

OK, that's a bit clearer. So, here's what I think: it's a despicable practice and only soulless miserable excuses for human beings would take part in it. I also think there's no punishment too severe for such offenses against humanity.  I do think that "thin line" is not so thin, given the deadly health risks involved in the sex trade -- but you're right. Slavery is slavery.

Are the guilty parties secretly very powerful people?

I am talking about human trafficking and there is a very thin line between trafficking for sex and trafficking for labour. The two have to be looked at hand in hand

Are you talking about human trafficking -- drug trafficking? or

something else.  If you mean the import and sale of people from across the water, shipping them in in big shipping containers and putting the women to work in the sex industry, you're dealing with a different issue than whether Mexican nationals should be allowed to pick our fruit and clean our toilets after they sneak across the border.  And if you're talking about trafficking in drugs or weapons, there are levels of danger there.

So I guess my comment, now that I've explained that I don't quite understand your question, is this: will you please rephrase the question so I can attempt to make a useful response. :)
