    Yeah the US’s definition of human trafficking is…not good. Like if this was on a much larger scale, it wouldn’t even be illegal. JP Morgan Chase hiring thousands of visa workers and paying each one $10k/year less than comparable American-born employees? That’s just the system working.

    And that $10k reduction in pay is essentially the result of them holding deportation over your head. If the threats are made via boilerplate contracts then it’s good and legal.

      I think to most people human trafficking implies something like the slave trade. But in legal parlance it’s literally as small as getting someone into the country with the wrong visa.

      If you hire someone and request say a tourist visa for them instead of a work visa, you could be guilty of human trafficking and visa fraud. And I’m no fed or snitch, what do I care about visa types.

      Marrying someone so they can get a passport for example, if both people consent to it, is based.
