San Francisco Fights
Return of Slavery

lavery is back.

Thanks to the indiscriminate importation of Third World populations without regard to education and background, an underground slave labor market is thriving in the midst of America's most cosmopolitan cities where many local citizens pride themselves on their progressive lifestyles and liberal outlook.

Case in point: San Francisco.

The slave trade there is so widespread that anti-slavery activists have enlisted the support of the mayor to launch a public advertising campaign to encourage people who know any one being held as a slave to report the circumstances to the authorities.

Mayor Gavin Newsom, who not long ago tried to issue illegal "marriage" licenses to homosexual lovers, has agreed to join with activists to launch the public awareness anti-slavery campaign after revelations that his city is a major hub for human slave trafficking.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported last month that local bus stations have agreed to display giant posters in Cantonese and English featuring a man washing dishes, a house cleaner, and a woman at a sewing machine, over the legend, "Is Someone You Know Being Forced to Work?" The posters display the phone numbers of anti-trafficking groups.

"The clients we work with are hidden, and we wanted to create awareness that this really happens in San Francisco," said Kavitha Sreeharsha, as attorney from the Asian Pacific Islander Legal Outreach group, and who represents trafficking victims.

Because U.S. elites won't guard the borders, immigrants are often smuggled illegally into the U.S. with the promise of legitimate work in reutrn for thousands in smuggling fees. They are then sold into debt bondage, forced into work for months and years without salary to pay off the smugglers.

The smugglers keep their victims in the dark by confiscating any passports, locking them in the workplace, and threatening them or their families back home with violence.

The U.S. State Department reported that up to 18,000 slaves are illegally imported to the U.S. every year. The majority are women and girls forced into brothels.
