Enslaved for 40 Days in US

This is the story of a Mexican woman who was taken from Mexico and brought to the US as a work slave.  She was lied to by her trafficker to get her to come to the country and then was kept captive for 40 days until she finally escaped.  Her story is very interesting as are some of the comments that follow the article, where some people write of similar stories in their town or city.  It is shocking to me that this happens in the US because I have never heard of anything like this.  Here is the link to the article:
