Check this out --- I guess deportation is over. The federal government will make these people a very nice lifestyle on our money -- all the more reason to come on over --- even if prostitution is your only job skill.

Johnny Sutton, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Texas who testified in July before a Senate committee, said by phone that President Bush has made human-trafficking a priority.

Some of us already know this.

In that picture he actually looks like he might be hauling a load of smuggled humans. I guess the federal government was running out of welfare recipients --- we need more indigent illiterates who often can only dance in nudie bars to take the government handouts Americans are too arrogant to take.

So we've got to support them for the rest of their lives? I would think anyone getting into a semi trailer with 100 other people knew what they were doing and that what they were doing was illegal. Sure they might be dupes --- just send them home.

The most basic care should be administered then send them back. I don't understand. What is going on in Mexico that a person would get into a truck with no air and in very hot weather to be smuggled?

Where does it say anything about lifetime support or semi-trailers in the article? Did you READ the article? Or did you come upon the headline, start drooling, and quickly paste it for the amusement of your dismal pals?

Tractor trailers and box trucks are the most common means of transporting illegals.

eligible for an array of government assistance, including medical care, Food Stamps, housing and immigration assistance.

Sure -- get them free housing? Free medical care? Immigration assistance? Sure doesn't look like it would be anything less than lifetime support by the US taxpayers. It doesn't say a thing about this being temporary --- and these people come with no skills whatsoever --- no means to support themselves.

The best plan would be to deport them immediately --- get them back to their families and neighborhoods.

even people we see selling trinkets on the street could be victims

Did you read the piece? This article is talking about ANYONE who agreed to be smuggled into the USA --- whether they paid a coyotes big money or found a cheaper way by agreeing to be locked inside an unventilated box car. Anyone smuggled is now eligible for a whole lot of taxpayer money.

Yes I did read it. Why are you being hostile? I'm just trying to explain why someone else brought up trucks. Most of those in human trafficking are illegal aliens looking to come here.

The ones with IQ's over 80 tend to see the problem in doing that and decide to come over a different way. Even illegals who never attended a day of school can usually figure out that is a stupid thing to do --- the types who do --- who agree to standing room only conditions with no air to breathe --- and who know they're going to be locked in like that aren't very bright.

I'm hostile because this act, and the benefits accred throughi it, was passed in 2000 and signed by Clinton. These are kidnapped slaves, cyborg. Many are sex slaves. Bush wants more of them found, liberated, and given a refuge. Cripes.

You are behind the times --- sure Clinton created a new Socialist program --- but Bush is making it even bigger and better --- expanding it to include thousands, or millions instead a few hundred:

Bush Administration Takes New Steps to Combat Human Trafficking, July 16, 2004

Read --- and you'll see that it's been expanded to define victims as those working in farming, factories, domestic servants, street beggers --- it's not just for prostitutes and strippers any more.
