THE BASIC FACTS

      In some places like Greece, the police won't help because they are the customers.  According to Grigoris Lazos, he learned that most trafficking is done on weekends so he says he also found out that each girl cost $1,000.  What he later found out was that shockingly, Greece earns about 5.5 billion dollars form forced slavery.  

THE BEGINNINGS

       Most immigrants arrive in the U.S. without money so they become"prey" to local hoteliers, bar owners, and people smugglers.  They do this by first they talking the immigrants into a job at a restaraunt. Actually, the job is in a bar. After awhile, working by serving drinks, the owner denounces the immigrant and gets her arrested because she has no documents. Then he bails her out and tells him/her that he/her has a debt to pay and can work it off; and so the debt never ends and the immigrant becomes a slave.  One slave asked if she would consider going home; she said,"No. There you would die of hunger."
