I think that's a great story. Being profiteers in human trafficking is not a barrier to being a friend of George W. Bush.

The Federal law requires that sanctions be levied against tier 3 countries unless there is an executive exemption which of course, Dubya happily gave to his good friends.

That should tell you something about Dubya's moral compass.

Is this a case of the pot calling the kettle black, or what?

The Victimization of Smuggled Immigrants

by Yvonne Parks

Yvonne Parks is currently enrolled at the University of Houston's Graduate School of Social Work where she is working on her Masters Degree.

The number of undocumented immigrants entering the United States is on the rise despite efforts to increase the number of border patrol officers. Immi-grants who manage to find work and achieve moderate success symbolize hope for the thousands of native Central and South Americans who live in impoverished conditions. These vulnerable populations are easily exploited by smugglers, com-monly referred to as "Coyotes."
