Record number of trafficking victims rescued in Thailand in 2019

From what documentaries I have seen the problem among Thai people themselves is endemic. I guess they have to start somewhere, even if the problem is closer to home than this article makes out.

The US?! It's not as if the US seafood industry and thousands of other industries aren't dependent on the labor of exploited, illegal aliens. Fix your own house first.
