Right on Sister Crow. I was going to say the same about brothels... It would provide safe place for both sex workers and the customers and ideally provide support for dealing with the emotional damage issues and moving out of the trade if they so wished.   And it need not be for women sex workers only. Also would address the concern (for some) of whether they are in the country illegally, though I don't see how Jim's question follows the original post, specially considering the women murdered recently (last few years) were all natural citizens.
