A Chronicle story yesterday on four Mexican nationals who have been accused of human trafficking, contained a strange quote explaining why Houston has a problem with forced prostitution:
“It’s a problem that does happen all over the United States,” said Dottie Laster, head of the YMCA Trafficked Person Assistance Program, which works closely with the task force.
“I believe Houston has heightened activity due to our economy, closeness to the southern border and because we have a diverse community,” Laster said.
Apparently not all diversity is beauty.
