KBS reports that 13 Korean working girls were arrested in the United States after a Korean smuggling ring snook the girls into the country through, go figure, Canada.
The FBI brought a 47-year-old Ms. Ma, who apparently ran a sauna/beauty salon/house of ill-repute in LA, before a federal court on Thursday.
What was interesting was that Ma was regularly supplied with girls through a smuggling ring. Authorities arrested six of Ma’s girls on immigration law violations.
Prior to this, police arrested six Korean women who were moving through Washington state after hopping the Canukistani border with members of the smuggling ring. U.S. immigration authorities said the smuggling ring had chosen the Canadian border since the Mexican border was under tighter enforcement. They would make contact with Korean women in that den of inequity otherwise known as Vancouver and send them across the border to Washington state, where they would then make their way to LA.
In particular, the smuggling ring avoided Johnny Law by using rental cars driven by dastardly Canadian drivers.
KBS said that despite the hardening position taken by U.S. authorities vis-a-vis illegal immigrants, Korean women were continuing to sneak themselves into the country at an unabated pace.
Marmot’s note: Here’s more reason why we need to include Korea in the visa-waiver program as soon as possible: cut out the Canuck middleman!

LOL.
I also like the Naver headline: “정신 나간 매춘 밀입국” - Crazy Hookers Smuggling
Seriously, if the US really wants to stop this thing, it can. Not just by prosecuting the pimps, but by also stopping of treatment of these women as “victims”. Throw the book at them all - like throwing them all in hard labor prison for 5 years. Most of the ho’s know what they’re doing when they sneak in, and if they claim they didn’t know, then they still deserve to go to prison for being stupid.
Take these girls(Foxy Magic) too.

2) click on the first link that says “Foxy”.
3) Wait for the commercial(10sec) to end. Click on “Play” button.
This video is banned by all three major TV networks. To most Americans this is just M-TV stuff but mature Koreans want to block some risque content from the general public viewing, which include young children and teens. I applaud their responsible “censorship”.

Well, just go to http://search.pandora.tv and put”폭시 매직” into search box and press enter. It will get you to the list and then click on the “Foxy”.
Sorry, Robet, for taking up space. But, I think the video is fun.
Interesting eh? There are loads of Koreans in Vancouver, scads of them. The only reason 99.9999% of them are here is either as a stepping stone to the USA or because they can’t get a US visa.
Really? Does that mean that there are a million Koreans in Vancouver, you’ve met every single one, and determined that out of that million, only one is not here for one of the reasons you stated?
sewing, I have dealt with a lot of Koreans here and believe me, the great majority only in Canada for the above stated reasons. Where did I ever say there were a million Koreans in Vancouver?
Maybe the majority of those you’ve spoken to—and I don’t doubt that some are here for the reasons you’ve given—but how do you or I know if that’s the “vast majority” of Koreans living here? Among the Koreans I personally know, a majority are here to be here, not because they’re trying or tried to get into the States. As for the million, 99.9999 % = 999,999 / 1,000,000.
Come to think of it, among those I personally know, none are trying to get into the States, and are living their lives in Vancouver because they choose to be here.
But sure, over the years, I’ve seen the same local TV news stories you’ve seen…there is a problem here, there’s no denying that; but I wouldn’t project the actions of a small number of people onto the entire Korean population here, any more than it’s right for the Korean media to paint all GIs or English teachers with the same broad brush, based on the actions of a few.
Don’t know where you studied math, sewing but a percentage is always out of 100.
Dude, sorry to be nitpicky, but 99.9999% = 99.9999 times out of a hundred (as you pointed out). Well, I’ve never met .9999 (or .0001) of a person, so to work backwards from the percentage get a whole number of people, you would have had to look at a million people of Korean extraction living in Vancouver (which there aren’t; more like 50,000), and determined that 999,999 of them were just trying to get into the States. 999,999 / 1,000,000 = (999,999 / 10,000) / 100 = (99.9999) / 100 = 99.9999 %. Anyhow, even you had just said the mathematically possible 99% (99/100), 99.9% (999/1000), or even 99.99% (9999/10000), you’re just pulling numbers out of your arse. I would say that a hell of a lot less than even half of the Koreans here are here for either of the reasons you stated.
And again, since both you and I are going by people whom we’ve met personally, I can say that of the people of Korean descent whom I know who live here, not one is trying to move to the States, and not one came here just because they couldn’t get into the States. If I were to toss out stats based on the small sample size of people I personally know, I’d say that 100% of the Koreans here are here because they choose to be here and stay here. But that’s no more a valid number than your number, since I haven’t done a proper statistical survey with a reliable sample size, and, I suspect, neither have you.

[...] Anyway, as we’ve seen before, the Canada-U.S. border is a favored entry point for smuggling women into the United States. Not only does Canada not require Koreans to obtain a visitor’s visa, but the Washington-B.C. border is much like Afghan-Pakistani frontier in that it’s long, mountainous, hard to defend and plagued by virulent anti-Americanism on both sides*.
