Hundreds forced into labor, sex in Ohio - what have we done to Middle America?

According to an AP article today (Feb 11), human trafficking is becoming a big problem in, of all places, Ohio! Yes, Ohio, a "plane-Jane" state best known for tires and other industrial products is now becoming a far more interesting place thanks to diversity!
"About 800 immigrants are sexually exploited and pushed into sweatshop-type jobs [every year], a new report on human trafficking in the state said Wednesday."
"'Ohio is not only a destination place for foreign-born trafficking victims, but it's also a recruitment place,' said Celia Williamson, an associate professor at the University of Toledo who led the research."

Why couldn't Ohio remain the bastion of bourgeois America with good schools and safe streets that it always was? I mean, how Middle America is Ohio you ask? It is so Middle America you can't win the presidency without it (from 1904 through 2008, the Ohio victor won the presidency 25 of 27 times). What on earth has happened to Ohio, this most quinetessential of apple-pie American states?

Here's your answer:

"From 1990 to 2000, Ohio's foreign-born population increased 30 percent, and the state has a growing pool of legal and illegal immigrants who draw victims or hide victims, Williamson said. These networks are highly organized, with brothels fronting as legitimate businesses."
Why are we importing this Third World insanity into Middle America? In what way does this make our country better?

The only people to benefit from this are those who work in what I call the "sociopathological industrial complex" of do-gooder non-profits, police, welfare agencies, the criminal justice system, etc.

Indeed, the article ends by saying

"The report recommends handling child trafficking cases through the child welfare system rather than the juvenile courts."

So if it's not the criminal justice system benefiting, its some other governement agency. Geesh.
