Mexian national goes to prision for sex trafficking Now he gets to be a bitch!

Mexican sex trafficker sent to pay his debt!

Miguel Rugerio better be a tough cat.  Young men who go to prision have to be.  In general, they have two choices:  Fight, or become a bitch.  I don't think I have to tell you what being a bitch means in an all male prison.

Miguel deserves to find out what it is like to be treated like a "bitch".  He sure knows how to treat young ladies like one.  Miguel was convicted today of recruiting and transporting young lantina girls to come to the U.S. on promise of a job with benefits.  In some cases, Miguel lured empovrished women on promise of marriage.  Once the bride-to-be arrived in the U.S. she had an unpleasant surprise.

Unfortunately, there was a bit of a communication gap between what the Mexican girls had in mind for work, and what Miguel had in mind.  The Mexican youths thought they were going to the U.S. to live the Amercian dream.  Even the poorest home in the U.S. can look like a palace to some impovrished Mexians.  The girls thought there would be a chance at a job, a chance to save money, to send it home to help out the family and a chance to start a family of thier own. The girls were freed in 2009.

"He put the girl to work pleasuring men in exchange for money"

Miguel had a different plan.  He put the girl to work pleasuring men in exchange for money.  In fact, the mamasita was forced to pleasure lots of men, several each night.  Seven nights per week.  No time off for good behavior.  Miguel and his buddies kept the money. 
“Human traffickers trick, lie and coerce young women into this country with the promise that they will have their freedom, and work a legitimate job," said acting U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates. Read more about the original plea

Meanwhile, instead of living in an upwardly mobile household, the girls were forced to live with others in "Repulsive living conditions"  according to Sally Quillian Yates, Acting United States Attorney.

There were at least 5 girls who fell for Miguel of Miguel Rugerio's  promises.

"The sentence is gratifying given the horrible conditions the victims were forced to endure" 

“Few crimes are more repugnant than sex trafficking helpless and innocent victims,” said Kenneth Smith, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Immigration and Customs (ICE) Enforcement Office of Investigations in Atlanta. “This sentencing is gratifying given the horrible conditions the victims in this case were forced to endure."

According to the FBI press release, Rugrerio admitted in his plea that from July 2006 to August 2008, he conspired with others to use force, fraud and coercion to cause approximately five female victims to come to the Atlanta area from Mexico and to engage in prostitution for the financial benefit of the members of the alleged conspiracy.

The Mexican pimp also admitted to transporting a victim to other states including Alabama and Florida to engage her in prostitution. The soon to be jail bird used false promises of better lives and to lure young, impoverished Mexican women to come to the United States, knowing that he would cause the victims to engage in prostitution upon their arrival. Rugerio forced his victims to engage in commercial sex with many men per night, seven days a week.

Rugerio, 28, a Mexican national, was sentenced to federal prison today by United States District Judge Clarence Cooper on charges of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and related immigration offenses, and of transporting one of the victims of the conspiracy, a young Mexican woman identified as “N.M.,” in interstate and foreign commerce for purposes of prostitution.

Miguel gets a short five years to swish his tush for tough guys.  After that he gets out of prision and a free trip home. 

We advocate fair immigration laws for those who are willing to come to the US and work towards a better life.  Such immigration policy should include a practical way for those seeking jobs to cross the border.  It should include a way for those who are alrady here to stay here.  It should provide a way for the children of undocumented workers the chance to go to school and improve themselves.

  "Aggressive investigation and prosecution will go a long ways"

One thing our dream does not include is luring innocent women across the border on promise of good paying jobs and a better way of life when the real plan is to enslave the young ladies in a sex business.  Rational reform will solve a lot of these problems.  Aggressive investigation and prosecution will go a long ways, as well.  Sally Quillian Yates and Charysse L.
