#2 This helps to invigorate the English culture and firm up their hate rallies. And provide needed jihad-apprenticeships for those who qualify for the dole.

#3 This may not be the low-quality smuggling we usually hear about. Think of how long it would take someone to make 5,000 pounds ($8,700 USD) in Turkey? Their minimum wage is about $300 (I assume, a week, but nobody seems to say.)
So either they only go for high quality clientele, or they are really doing things like importing hookers, criminals for whom Turkey is too hot, and other such problems.

#4 I believe a lot of it is indentured servitude in some of the industries you mentioned.

#5 I've read human smuggling is far more lucrative than drugs. They are held as slaves, whether for the sex trade, sweatshops, or even household servants. There have been several bodies of young Africans found in the Thames lately. A Denver Saudi and his wife were recently charged for slavery and beating their Filipino maid. They pulled her passport (if she even had one), upping the price once here, and she was not allowed out of the house. "Sultana, Saudi Princess" claims wealthy Saudis get their teen sons their very own sex slaves so their daughters can retain their virginity and spared stoning. Of course they believe thay have good jobs waiting for them.

#6 minimum wage is about $300 (I assume, a week, but nobody seems to say.)

'Moose that's likely a month. US minimum per week is $205 or so, but then again we're an oppressor state. Who knows.
