What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
If you drive through many parts of Florida, many, many, strip malls feature "spas", legally. They are "massage parlors", and they are staffed by probably 70% young asian women, are these women citizens? How did they get here? I have been holding my tongue about this, as I am seeing DeSantis cheered on while he buses and flies undocumented people who were allowed to come in across the border. It seems hypocritical to me to ignore the trafficking that goes on in these places. Wrong is wrong, why do the politicians in Florida ignore this form of human trafficking going on, apparently free from any investigations? Are these places raided frequently, as they should be? One political act does not erase the evil that is allowed to exist. Young women promised work end up as prostitutes in these places, their passports held. Who is giving them working visas? Florida is not the only place, but I do not see anyone saying anything about this situation that already has existed, and apparently sanctioned.I would love to hear more news about this. These places exist in other States too, driving across country was an eye opener for me, billboards on highways advertising adult stores, etc. The sin and evil of human trafficking is real, these girls do not speak english, they are clearly immigrants,
So, if you are certain, did you report it?
It is fascists and communists who go into businesses without cause because "they know" something untoward is going on. If you really know they are breaking the law, then report it. If you don't know for sure, either find out or mind your own business.
Used to be the duty of an American to help root out crime in this country, civic pride and all that. If you only think there is crime, yet you are unwilling to verify and report, it must not really be more than your imagination, or you just don't believe the crime is a big enough issue for you to bother.
Like the lady who got stabbed to death in queens in the late 80s. The dude stabbed her, she screamed for over 5 minutes for help, the dude came back and finished her off, took two minutes doing it, over 100 witnesses, and no one lifted a finger. Not one person called the cops for 10 minutes after it happened.
Sorry, not meaning to pick on you specifically. I've seen where people "just know" those are illegals loitering on the corner, and a cop rolls up from a report, and every one of them were legit, licenses, and citizens (I knew them, we all thought it was funny).
They have been around since I was a child (70s). As a kid I didn’t know what it was, I knew it wasn’t a place we as a family would visit. There’s always been a lot in my town. Also around military bases it’s bad. My husband & I were driving home from the coast recently & I commented about the stretch between Havlock & New Bern, NC. Havlock probably has good people but you don’t see it on HWY 70. It’s so trashy! Jacksonville is the same way. Both of these areas are near the bases. Same with Goldsboro & Fayetteville. In high school (81-85) we traveled to Fayetteville for sports & I remember the prostitutes on the street at night on Hay Street. I don’t think it’s a coincidence they are military towns. I don’t know the history and details or what war, the government brought in prostitutes for the soldiers.
On I-95 in the Carolinas there's one billboard for a "Osaka Spa" which I've half-jokingly thought to myself, the place probably has nothing whatsoever to do with Japanese relaxation. I've also wondered how these places can operate in plain sight. Maybe they fool unwitting visitors into overpaying for a short massage, and then kick them out when they cross the line? Sort of like what happens to Peewee in the 80's movie Porkies, where the story was actually set in rural Florida.
One would hope, either way, are these young women getting working visas? We do need farm workers, not "spa" workers, I would think. I know the larger farms around here import labor, but these are people with work visas, and they are registered, or whatever they do with them. No families, just working adullts, picking, milking, haying, harvesting christmas trees, their are not enough young men who are doing that sort of work unless they are farming themselves, or a family thing. My point is, I think most of the young women from China and other parts of Asia minor are being trafficked for that labor. Why grant so many working visas to a sketchy business? How much money is being washed? It is known that the dealing of passports and working papers is gangster related, asian gangsters. It's trafficking of immigrants, many brought here to do one thing. Also, an aside. I was in DC for a demonstration a few decades ago, and there was a church that was willing to put us up, but I wanted a bed, after a long bus ride. I looked in the yellow pages (remember them boys and girls?) and there were pages and pages for massage parlors. I was looking for Motel, in the phone book is how I came to find it. Talk about grossed out! That was a red pill back then, no computers!
Good thoughts that you have about the visas. Makes me wonder what kind of far fetched stories they tell these women/men to get them to travel, only to wind up at one of these places. Sad.
Amen.
