To take a back seat will the president ial candidates ever hit the road and sell their brand of politics to americans before the vault follow the u. S. Elections on a. Bomb to 300 years the most powerful nations on a screw richer and stronger on the profits of the slave trade over 12000000 men women and children were forcibly transported from africa on slave ships like this to the colonies and plantations in north and south America Today slavery is illegal in every country on the planet but the truth is slavery did not die in the 19th century it is a life that is thriving and it is bigger than ever. This series investigates the very small the evil of 21st century slavery. From the smallest villages in asia to some of the most economically vibrant cities in the west. But it begins in the last place youd expect to find slaves. A country which only a few generations ago tore it self a pause to outlaw slavery a country still racked by collective guilt over its role in the times of planting trees. The United States probably has between 40 and 50000 or so. Its measured conservatively but i think also to be fair the United States is one of the governments that has been most on asked about the extent the amount and precise crime of enslavement within the United States. 150 years ago if you walked around the heart of the u. S. Capitol you could have walked a slave of a Street Corner and this country how to go through a painful civil war in order to bring slavery and im in the 21st century theres no doubt that the United States is leading the way in the fight against modern slavery and this testament to that this country is planning to prosecute the largest ever case against modern slavery. Americas playground. But behind the glamour secrets hidden in plain sight. To produce the food the rest of the world. There is a strong possibility that there are very. Very eggs that. Could have been brought to your table by enslaved. In the land of the free. Do you see. How. Someone had. Some high powered flight you dont like them but. They were. In the remotes northern provinces of thailand life has continued unchanged for centuries. Close knit families eke out a subsistence living by working on sister lands and rice fields. And it was here in 2003 the agents for an American Farm worker Recruitment Company came calling. Us up on. The needs of us all year and i mean i know my back. Oh a. Young American Woman going to go back where they manufacture. Getting them and in kenya. Families in a lump and less than 1000. 00 a year. The recruiters told them that in america they would 50000. 00. There was just one. They had to pay illegally high registration fees to the recruiters up front and then. The Recruitment Base were high they were generally between 50750000 type bought or between 1520000 u. S. Dollars. For 3 years of. They believed guaranteed work and the contracted. Employment at a rate of 8 or 9. 00 an hour so when the guys did the math they figured that they could pay off their debt in the 1st year and then the 2nd and 3rd years would basically profit for their families. If the. Decision would be made by me 1000. 00 men. In this impoverished corner of thailand was the start of a journey that began with a dream of a future. In slavery. Only and. This is where some of those men were sent. The key supply routes and vegetables to major wilson grounds. But very quickly a new recruits from the dream they had been sold turned into a nightmare. The problems really started early on for the guys their passports were taken shortly upon arrival they did not have enough food many times they were given moldy bread if anything at all and coffee and oftentimes they didnt have probably most mornings they didnt have enough to eat before going out and starting their toiling in the in the very hot sun on the other planes which is where a loon pharmacist is located. A pow. And i studied. The public to know how we slept. Died and went back to get a little. Luck i fell behind on my title. And im still going to. Remember i mean. I didnt want to have someone to ask people for me to continue. And then the promised pay started to dry up. They were given the amount of work but the amount of hours per week that was promised and they very quickly started to see again calculating the math in their heads that they werent going to be able to pay the interest on the debt much less to start paying down the debt. Without money and isolated on the loon farms remote fields the time workers found themselves trapped. In a state. That but. The. Moment they have happened. In december 2009 the owners of aloon farms brothers mike and alex pled guilty to charges of conspiring to hold the time and conditions for. The souse admitted knowing about the illegal recruitment fees confiscating the work as possible. And with financial ruin if they try to escape. What makes this case one of more than slavery forced labor they were constantly being told that if they if they complained. If they didnt work extra hard they were going to be sent home and it was it was the fear of being home and the fear of. Losing everything in their family that kept them in that condition and i think you know there are different ways of chaining and imprisoning someone all time slavery was i think much more fear of a physical. Abuse and harm and even death here the threat wasnt so much physical the threat the fear for the victims was complete destitution and loss for their family and they with those everything and that kept them that kept them in that mission. The souse also agreed to pay each of their victims 8000. 00 compensation enough to enable them to go home to thailand. But what happened next would dash even that. On honolulu many of those victims had waited years to see the case come to me. But this summer and despite the sea brothers previous guilty pleas elude prosecution was dismissed on a legal technicality. It left the thai workers without their promised money and completely devastated. Someone up. There. How long the government some high power play or whatever power. Going out and i. Dont. Know watch me come up in the name of god but that. When i. Went up to the couple monday. Aloon song wasnt the only business competing in the whole bridge time man but this. Same time. Zones incorporated a multimillion dollar Recruitment Agency in los angeles was operating in an identical scheme but on a much larger scale. Global rise and essentially applied for at least for over a 1000 typhon workers to be brought into this country and they were placed on farms throughout the United States on the mainland and off the mainland and they were growing and harvesting all kinds of produce they were on pig farms there are farms there on chicken farms you name it. Targeted the same impoverished villages in thailand as aloon farms. And this route just the same. Registration for. The buddha theres a set cap on how much youre supposed to pay for work abroad so in this case for farm work in the u. S. The workers should not be paying more than 60000. 00 baht that is. Current c. But in fact would have ended up happening the workers who are taught that they had to pay 900000. 00 baht and they ended up having to mortgage their lands and their homes. And had to. Take money from loan sharks borrow money to massive x. Orbit and debt and and pay high interest. Signed up with legal horizons in 2000 and. 2. But he had. Mortgaged his home his fields and his fathers land to pay the recruits. But the American Dream turned sour very quickly. How much. I dont care how i. Say it. My name and i. Know what. The meaning. Meaning on the whole. Many of. My neighbors now many of those i wish i. Could have. Gone behind and go about. This is the man who owned and operated Global Horizons incorporated an israeli businessman called Mordechai Orian. Mr laurean is extensive business dealings in the United States brought in wealth and to whom in the hills above the sentence. But both mr oriel im global have a long and checkered history. There are many actions filed against mr ryan now u. S. Federal Department Labor charges against him. For back wages and penalties and then there are liens on his properties by the i. R. S. The Internal Revenue service of the federal government because of pay taxes theres also immigration violations. In 2007 individual time workers began arriving at the time and Community Development center in los angeles. Each told a story of having to escape from what they called slavery. They came out as far up north as Pacific Northwest state of washington oregon and then the. Desert states you to arizona new mexico and going south texas louisiana florida these are the states where they skate from all the farms they were on south carolina. All the way up to east coast and then of course hawaii the different islands of hawaii but it covers the entire country where the farms where the former slaves were able to sort of run away from thats right. Son its was one of those who escaped. In one of. My might do you think tonight down hale and i got a. Hole now and i now. Get. What i want on home and when i cant. Im going to. Get in. But escaping from slavery has not made him free. There landing on. Him i mean the salary i need i did with my. Gun and by. I. Oh man today you. Dont die nice. And what. Might die handlers have done any. More. In september 2010 the f. B. I. And Justice Department charged Mordechai Orian and his key lieutenants and Global Horizons with multiple counts of Human Trafficking the indictment alleges that Global Horizons knew about the illegal recruitment fees and took a cuts of them held hundreds of time workers as forced labor on farms across the United States confiscated their passports and deployed armed guards to prevent them from leaving. This is by far the most significant case in u. S. History of Human Trafficking and modern day slavery because it will now become go like this case of Human Trafficking in u. S. History because of this hearing that pair of victims involved. Trial is not due to start until february 2012 but after months of negotiation he agreed to meet us in a California Hotel room. He now claims he is the victim of a plot by the Justice Department to cover up flaws in the regulations covering Migrant Workers coming to america so now there is a problem is that this guy this little jew israeli whatever he come from its blaming him for everything that we hate and make you to be his Human Trafficking americanus but you can so you much i mean about anything in fact if you if thats the philosophy of Human Trafficking so everything is youre much african going airplane from hawaii to l. A. Human trafficking so all their lives and Human Trafficking business because we traffic my walkers from island to island Hawaiian Airlines with regard to the registration fees the government alleges that some of these words high as 21000. 00 u. S. Dollars i think its a totally wrong what you say because. I dont believe that they pay this kind amount of money i think its fiction if im retired just lets go reverse now and somebody told me im going to have a job in another country and by the way this is up and for every country around the ward and i would really eager to go there ok ill do anything i can to make it happen and ill go to extreme because im jewish the people in the holocaust done anything they can to serve their life you know how Many American people to they would be happy to get 10. 00 an hour net in their pocket and have somebody pay for them housing transportation take them to walk every day oh ill take my grandmother shopping once a week thats what you call Human Trafficking. In february of 20111 of more high aryans most senior left tenants decided to enter into a plea bargain with the u. S. Justice department and agreed to turn evidence against his former ally mr Bruce Schwartz said that he knowingly conspired to in slave time workers with the full knowledge of mr laurean and other members of Global Horizons that together they purposely withheld the passports of the thai workers thus making it impossible for them to escape and they also knowingly used the huge amount of debts that the thai workers had entered into as a way of enforcing the thai workers to remain Global Horizons employment. After everything that you have had to face in your code if you personally do you have any regrets i believe if i was myself i would not regret and i think ill fight it to so now because i think what ive done was a great thing i changed peoples life i think the pain of what my family went through and my kids it was a little if i can call it a little holocaust for my family in that if nothing else mr and his alleged victims have something in common what. About what. About what to do. Parallel. To your. To have. Said what do you mean you wont go out. Let me come in with. Me but i dont really well. Young annoy or what i do you know about all who in one of the. Couple got across the United States many of the victims of Global Horizons a pinning their hopes on the trial of. But the collapse of the prosecution has dented their faith in the us legal system does the American Government do enough to end slavery within its borders absolutely not it needs to spend a 1000000000 a year perhaps to really wipe it out it spends maybe 1250000000. 00 and it barely scratches the surface and the thing thats heartbreaking about that fact is that the United States could be a slave free country. Today hundreds of the thai slaves who were victims of a new farms and Global Horizons remain trapped in the United States. Unable to return home because of their debts and separates it from the families when they could try to see. The traffickers dont actually use violence and psychology and emotions from the very beginning until the very end the trade in human flesh is big business.
