Thank you all for your comments and insights thus far. It is always helpful to get others views and feelings on many subjects.

I dare say many prostitutes are illegal aliens (a horrible term in itself) but very often not of their own choice. Some will have come here with the promise of better things. The sex slave trade (as well as sweat shop establishments) is alive and well, sadly, and these women (and some men) should be saved and protected rather than thought of in any way as being 'illegal' immigrants. They are victims in many cases themselves.
