Right. Immigrants will always end up being exploited by the bad guys. The prostitution issue is just one of amny avenues for such exploitation. As a father of a daughter I'm not thrilled about the industry but I believe it should be legalized along with drugs. Yes, I've been to Amsterdam and Zurich's "needle park" and seen the resultant underbelley but the US "war on Drugs" is ineffective and a total waste of money. It makes the easiest way out of the ghetto one of drug dealing and pimping. Put a fraction of that drug law enforcement money into treatment and we'd have a less crime ridden society, with less jail crowding for stuff like just dealing drugs.
