It is
ABSOLUTELY NOT FALSE. There is so much human trafficing going on, and one who got away was interviewed after she started to work for a diplomat, who after found to be abusing her human rights, could not be prosecuted or charged with anything due to his diplomatic immunity.
It DOES happen more often than you know.
Of course it happens, just like there is sex slavery and trafficking in that arena too. However, it isn't the norm. The vast majority of illegal domestic workers are running their own businesses.
Well, you FIRST said that it's plain false.
Well, you were either making a general statement, that cleaning people work for "$1 a day" (whether literally or metaphorically for "abusively shit wages"), or you were accusing the Romneys themselves of specifically exploiting illegal aliens with abusively shit wages. Either way, you don't know what you're talking about, because the vast majority of cleaning people work independently and are hired by the average person who needs a cleaning service, and nobody verifies their citizenship, so they charge the going rate, which isn't cheap. And, you don't have any idea whether the Romneys are employing an illegal alien or underpaying them. It's just more nonsense.
And, you're the one that brought it up, and then said you didn't give a rats ass about it.
