I mean, I saw some really borderline stuff in Hong Kong with nannies from the Philipines, but to look around in North America and see it? Amazing. Now every time I go to a restaurant, I wonder. <br /><br />Jessica, I thank you for writing 'Broken' and for taking the time to talk to me about my friend. As my sister and I compare notes, the situation becomes more and more obvious. If he's where I think he is and I have even a hint that things aren't aboveboard, I'll call Polaris and see if there's anything they can do. The Department of Labor sure didn't help. :(Belinda M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07660503911251781943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577364854407900138.post-14821129551502071622011-09-20T16:19:15.834-07:002011-09-20T16:19:15.834-07:00A very moving post, Belinda.

I had absolutely ...This is a really important post. I had absolutely no idea about the kind of slavery that still existed in America... until I hooked up with a guy in the US on an H1B visa. Now I see it everywhere I look. I'm not surprised, but very saddened, that it can still happen when they've gone through the tremendous trouble of getting a green card :/ Cheers to you for getting the word out.Kateyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05727622678452936037noreply@blogger.com
