The sound of the snakehead is soft and tempting and perfectly pitched to the ears of young Chinese who dream of a better life. 46.
"One need never go wanting for anything in America," the snakehead says. "Color televisions. Shiny cars, Dollars by the millions. All is there, just waiting to be claimed."If the countless numbers of young Chinese who this moment are plotting their escape to America knew that the Land of Milk and Honey has proved sour for thousands of their people, they would not be so eager to make the risky journey.
Since the first boatload of illegal Chinese aliens was seized by U. S. officials in 1991, some 50 Chinese crime groups have smuggled tens of thousands of Chinese into the U.S. each year. The routes vary, some by sea, others by air or by steady. In the southern coastal province of Fnjian, home goes up to about 80% of these immigrants. 47.
Families band together to raise the funds, thinking they are making a down payment not only on a loved one’s future but their own as well.
For their effort they often bankrupt their savings only to sell the loved one into slavery.
Those who wish to try their tuck abroad are encouraged by the snakeheads who then link them with underground networks. 48.
Most of the arrangements are done by international crime Syndicates, which cut deals with desperate families, then draw up the escape plan, obtain the forged documents and furnish the transportation.
Some observers say as many as 20 human smuggling Syndicates may operatein Fujian. These organized rings influence officials unfairly, change stolen passports, forge visas, keep safe houses and charter boats to pull off their daring operations.
But falling into the hands of the gangs is a terrifying thing. Immigrants may face severe punishment if they fail to satisfy the demands of their contracts. 49.
That, perhaps, explains the desperation of the Chinese illegals who sweat it out in restaurants, garment factories and dry-cleaning establishments for as little as $ 2 an hour.
One garment clothes making district employee, for ex- ample, who worked 36 hours straight, was deprived of pay for taking a one hour nap. Non-payment of wages is widespread. "They are slaves, pure and simple," says a U. S. immigration official. "Many end up in bondage like slaves, forced to become gang enforcers or drug carriers." [br]
选项
答案
“蛇头”说:你到了美国就什么也不缺,彩电、闪闪发亮的轿车、成百万的美元那儿样样齐全,就等着你们去占有。如果目前正在密谋逃往美国的无数年轻的中国人知道“上帝恩赐的乳蜜之乡”对于成千上万的同胞来说,已经证明是令人厌恶的,那么他们就不会那样急于想踏上那危险万分的旅途了。
