With the legalization of the immigrants, would it be harder or easier to traffic people for prostitution?

Most prostitutes are white I bet u did not know that.

Yes it would probably solve part of the problem.  Because legally constituted businesses could take control of the drug trade then the mafias behind the drug traffic would have a hard time subsisting.

You seem to have answered your own question. There is no way to be legal easily. Avoiding taxes is a game for the rich. Complaining about unnecessarily complex rules and regulations, a game business owners and immigrants can share. If everyone followed the rules for Cubans, there would be no one here illegally.

I believe it's more the other way around.  With the exception of prostitutes.  Ask one of them.

I've been there and yes, there are many many women just looking to get to the USA.   I wouldn't say they are all prostitutes or even that they are all looking for the ticket to the USA.   \n\nThere are people that do fall in love and getting married and coming to the USA is just the natural progression.

Well, it's certainly not going away anytime soon is it?  Ironically enough in our ultra-capitalist society, you can give sex away for free, but you can't sell it.\n\nYes, primarily it's for moral reasons.  There are arguments made about health risks, but a regulated industry with check-ups and the like would be arguably safer than the drug and disease ridden industry as it now stands.\n\nBasically, I think it comes down to the fact that few people want to put society's "stamp of approval" on it.  Would anyone want their daughter to consider it "just a job" or an easy way to get some quick cash?  Or would they want their husbands to be able to find no-hassle sex whenever they had some extra cash?  How about the thought of your father casually going to a brothel after work? Some might not have a problem with these ideas, but most people would feel otherwise.

No.\nBut, they can get the prostitute into a room with them. And then when they begin to start talking about money, that is when they can arrest them.\nIn general, I would immagine that it is seriously frowned upon if they do get sexual services for free from a prostitue.

Anything that becomes ill-legal creates curiosity and hunger.so if this issue gets legalised,it shall be more easy to run it as a profession and the crime attached to it shall decrease.The interests of the professionals here shall be safe guarded.

Prostitution?  No, just kidding, that probably isn't a wise idea.  But there are several ways to quickly and easily make 50 dollars.  I mean, just ask somebody if they need something done and would be willing to pay.

would the criminals be those who enter the country illegally or those that employ them?

Fair or unfair, it is logistically impossible.  What we need to do if we want to stop illegal immigration is start throwing CEO's and Rich people who hire them to work for their companies, take care of their kids or mow their lawns.  Only then will you reduce the incentive for people to come here for a better life.  Cut off the jobs, you will cut off most of the desire to come here.

Yes\n\n(Guys below: or the illegals are getting nowadays more than what they give or not. If they are getting less, then stop complaining on how they are abusing the system. If they get more, then admit that by making them legal, though you may not like the idea, they will be paying taxes to give back what they get from welfare.)

my understanding is that it would be governed by the same labor laws that we citizens are.  So they would get at least minimum wage.  The advantage of having this done in the open, versus illegally, as it is now, is that the wage that people get paid could be regulated and enforced.\n\nso like you mention, this would prevent the type of slave labor that you talk about.\n\nI do think that the border needs to be sealed before we can even consider a guest worker program though.

Prostituion is not a crime, and unless women are not force to make that job it sholdn't be considered illegal, inmoral or anything else.\n\nI knew prostitutes that had a great education and culture, and they made that choice because it was fast money and they had a body and attitude according to do that job.

Have you heard of mail order brides?\n\nYou can theoretically sell people on the internet, but most of it is done from a different country. \n\nEven prostitution is sold online when you look up escort services.

If you can make sure that underage girls are not involved and there is enough protection to make sure that the women are not forced into it, then why not?\n\nAs someone who has never used a prostitute and has no intention to do so I think it would be a good idea. Think of all the extra taxes that could be raised!!!
