This is an article that Sara brought to my attention. It discusses the realities of young girls who have dreams of coming to America for a better life but end up being forced into prostitution upon arrival. The teenage girls live in Mexico and are swept away by men who tell them stories of great lives in America, and finding jobs. They then sneak them illegally into the US and force them into becoming prostitutes with threats of beating them or killing the girls parents if they don't do as the men wish. This is a terrible tragedy that many people don't realize is going on. It causes me to wonder if immigration were easier things like this wouldn't be happening. The whole article can be read here.

What do you think is the cause of this? And how can we stop it?
