Slavery In Modern America Part 1 by pat

The conviction and sentencing of Mahender and Varsha Sabhnani, for the torture and enslavement of two Indonesian maids, has once again brought to the forefront the issue of slavery in modern America.

This case, which made international headlines, in part because of the International cast of characters as well as the reported wealth of the perpetrators, was colored with salacious testimony. Ms. Sabhnani, an Indonesian married to an Indian--purportedly a Hindu version of Cruella de Ville--was a very successful business woman who resided in The Long Island Gold Coast. Both she and her husband were US citizens.

Allegations of abuse included beatings with brooms and umbrellas, slashings with knives, being made to repeatedly climb stairs and take freezing cold showers as punishment for misdeeds that included sleeping late or stealing food from trash bins because they were poorly fed.

Samirah, the woman who fled the house in May, said she was forced to eat dozens of chili peppers and then was forced to eat her own vomit when she failed to digest the peppers, prosecutors said."

"Enung testified that Samirah's nude body once was covered in plastic wrapping tape on orders from Varsha Sabhnani, who then instructed Enung to rip it off. "When I pulled it off, she was screaming," the housekeeper said through an interpreter before breaking down in tears on the witness stand."

Varsha was given 11 years, her husband, who never laid a hand on the women, was given 3 years, 4 months. The case generated publicity for a number of reasons.

This story was perhaps the best-known, but is not rare. A few more examples:

Enforcing the borders protects illegal immigrants, too. But that's not something you'll hear from liberals on this issue.

That woman looks frightening! She is a dead ringer for the Wicked Witch in the Disney version of Snow White.

“Frightening” is one word...

Good eye!

"The conviction and sentencing of Mahender and Varsha Sabhnani, for the torture and enslavement of two Indonesian maids, has once again brought to the forefront the issue of slavery in modern America. "

Now...let one person in America make a stereotypical remark about any group or minority, and the liberal/PC media wonks go bananas.

However, one a$$hole commits what is actually an individual CRIME, and all of a sudden the MSM touts the "return of slavery to America".

Are these mediaidiots so desparate for a headline and a story - are their egos so whipped and deflated that they just make up $sh...tuff to get a byline?

One brick does not a bricklayer make...but the media doesn't seem to know that; it's little wonder that the liberal press is in the final throes of life when each and every ridiculous story they print/broadcast is and opus of their very existence.

They ask us to just ignore what we know from life and all facets of common sense, and just believe the fiction they write everyday. We all know that "slavery" is not returning to America, so what is the point of this garbage?

But, I guess if it makes some idiot editor happy, more paper and printing ink is wasted to accomodate some old lady's canary cage, then so be it. I do feel comfortable in the knowledge that 80% of America can see through this leftist (read: childish) claptrap.

This vast class of unskilled immigrants is the left’s new form of slavery.

Most of your points are valid. The remainder of the story (this is an excerpt) mainly focuses on trafficking in sex slaves. The author is a hard-core “caveman” conservative, however. Regardless, thanks for the comments.
