Secretary of State Clinton included the U.S. for the first time on the State Departments list of nations trafficking in persons for forced labor ranging from farm workers to pole dancers and prostitutes.
There are Americans, unfortunately, who are held in slavery, Clinton said in releasing the annual report on nations who promote or permit the international trade in human beings for profit.
The report said the main source countries for forced labor in the U.S. were Thailand, Mexico, the Philippines, Haiti and India.

Revisionist history, it's what Democrats do. I wonder what specifics she can cite. Is she talking about the illegals being exported by gangs operating in the USA? If so, she should turn them in.
Ahh, such stupidity.
The Left truly hates America. No, stupid, we aren’t a slave nation nor do we traffic in slavery. There is no official or unofficial sanction of the practice anywhere within our borders.
Yes there are incidents of criminal slavery by criminals. But by the same definition we are a nation of serial killers, cannibals, drug dealers, rapists, and people that record major league base ball games without the express written permission of the commissioner of baseball.
Just cause it happened here, doesn’t mean it is either accepted or the norm. Can’t her and her pantsuits just go away?
Am I wrong? Aren’t a lot of people held in slavery in the US done so by fellow countrymen who come first, do well, then send for young women with promises they have no intention of fulfilling?
lemme guess...they counted all 1.4 million U.S. employees of WalMart...
Most human trafficking involves smuggling them in.
Held in slavy? What in the hell is she talking about, last time I look here in Mississippi nary a slave was to be seen.
Can you belive this ‘u know what’?
I agree with Hillary.
The slaves are called: “Private sector tax payers”.
One thing missing from her picture, the bags under her eyes.
All the slaves are now in NYC..................
Exactly!
The major sources of trafficked persons include Thailand, China, Nigeria, Albania, Bulgaria, Belarus, Moldova, and Ukraine.
By that criterion, all nations are slave nations.
A disgusting Clinton lie. This NATION is not engaged in trafficing of persons. There may be scum here that do, but as a NATION we are not. READ THE TEXT. While some NATIONS are involved in this disgusting practice, in MY country, the United States, we are not. Not yet.
It's not just Hillary, the Bush Administration was working to combat this too.
Guess Mrs. Clinton has too much time on her hands as Secretary of State.
IF there is anyone in the USA held in ‘slavery”, Hillary, it is you!!
You should have booted that pervert you married to the curb years ago, instead of ‘standing by your man’ when he continued to be a total embarrassment.
Even a pole dancer would not stand for that kind of partner!!
Exactly how I feel.
I think I finaly started earning for my family about this time of year. It gets later every year.
. . . the annual report on nations who promote or permit the international trade in human beings for profit.
We now have a member of the administration going on record that they "permit" the international trade in human beings for profit!!! This should be brought up in every news conference from now on!!
As in: "Mr Gibbs when will the administration quit promoting and permitting the trade in human beings for profit as stated by Hillary Clinton and CLOSE THE BORDER?!"
