The Chicago Tribune reports:
For years, Concepcion Malinek sold Guatemalan immigrants a version of the American Dream, offering to help pay their way to the United States and secure work and shelter in her Cicero home, according to federal prosecutors.
But it wasn’t a dream, prosecutors said. It was a nightmare.
There's more:
Once Malinek lured the struggling families here from their home country, she forced them to live in squalid conditions and charged exorbitant fees that kept them working essentially as slave laborers at local factories, according to prosecutors.
On Monday, a federal judge sentenced Malinek to 6½ years in federal prison, saying human trafficking is a “horrific” crime that “inflicts an awful physical and emotional toll on the victims.”
As Ann Coulter would say : "our new country is going to be great".
