Dark, sinister and dramatic: The disturbing TV ads to combat human trafficking... made by U.S. Gove
Source: mail on line

They could be trailers for a horror movie.
But actually these dark, dramatic adverts, with their undertones of sexual abuse and exploitation, were created by the U.S. Government to combat human trafficking.
The Department of Homeland Security has kicked off campaign 'No Te Enganes' - 'Don't Be Fooled' in Mexico and Central America to warn people about the dangers of trying to get to the U.S. illegally.

But this week the department will also air similar spots in Florida, Georgia and Washington - key immigrant destinations.
The adverts are targeting victims of human trafficking already in the U.S., those who want to report suspicious activity and U.S. residents who are thinking about paying for a relative to illegally come to the U.S.

2. Check some old news
President Bush and the Department of Homeland Security have asked Americans for vigilance, and to report suspicious activity.

One of the most striking aspects of the War on Terrorism has been our government's attempt to sow a culture of suspicion among the American people. According to our trustworthy leaders, part of our patriotic duty involves treating our fellow citizens as potential criminal suspects. Attorney General John Ashcroft asks us to "notify of any unusual or suspicious activity."
