I am not surprised at all. Are you? There are MANY similar cases all over the US:
QUOTE SALT LAKE CITY -- Federal investigators continue to build a case against a Los Angeles-based company charged with forced labor violations of Thai workers. The indictment alleges four employees with the labor recruiting company Global Horizons Manpower Inc. And two Thailand-based recruiters lured 400 workers from Thailand to work on farms across the United States. Six recruiters are accused in this case that the FBI calls the largest human-trafficking case ever charged in U.S. History. Pai Boon's story "They told us not to make any trouble. I knew right from the beginning that I didn't want to complain, so I just toughened up." - Pai Boon Some of those Thai farmers worked on southern Utah farms between 2005 and 2007. Pai Boon was one of them. He felt lucky to have the chance to live and work in America. Speaking through a translator, he tells KSL, "I thought wow; I get to work in America. I'm making this much money." Slave labor typically starts with money changing hands. "I almost lost all of my money," says Boon. "Altogether 750,000 bat, a lot of that from private lending." That's roughly $25,000 Pai Boon paid recruiters to work in the U.S. He left his wife and two kids in Thailand and flew to Seattle, Wash. "The first thing they did upon arrival at the airport," says Boon, "they took away our travel documents and passports." Boon says he thought it was strange but when he asked why they would take his travel documents, he was told it was for "safe keeping.".. Source 1z
