Obviously the only solution is to bring more of these people to America.
Business Insider: Two hours southeast of Mexico City lies a town where forced prostitution is not only the norm, but a booming business that employs most of the city’s 10,000 residents.
Tenancingo, Mexico, widely considered the sex trafficking capital of the world, is the single largest source of sex slaves sent to the US, according to the US State Department.
The city was highlighted in a recent Newsweek article describing new city-to-farm sex pipelines, in which prostitutes from Mexico working mostly in Queens, New York are delivered to farms by traffickers to have sex with migrant workers.
Before they are trafficked to the US, women and girls as young as 14 are routinely kidnapped from villages surrounding Tenancingo by men who trick, threaten, and even seduce them into working for the illicit sex trade.
“Many kids [in Tenancingo] aspire to be traffickers,” Emilio Munoz Berruecos, who grew up in the next village and runs a local human rights center, told the NY Daily News. “This is a phenomenon that goes back half a century.”
The phenomenon likely started when agricultural work became scarce, forcing men to find other ways to make money. “It is something that has become intergenerational in Tenancingo,” Alice Brennan, producer of Fusion’s documentary “Pimp City”, told Here & Now. “When many of the factories closed down, some enterprising young men decided to try their hand at selling women and realized how profitable it was.”
