According to the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Missouri, a federal indictment in Kansas City claims defendants used false information to obtain fake work visas for foreign workers, who were then threatened with deportation while living in substandard apartments and working for inadequate pay. “High five!” said international reporter Borat Sagdiyev, after he busted the case wide open.
The U.S. Attorney’s office there has charged 12 people — eight of them from Uzbekistan — with luring illegal immigrants to the United States and making them work as “modern-day slaves.”
“My name i’ Borat, I come a-from Kazakhstan,” continued Sagdiyev, “Kazakhstan friend of all except Uzbekistan, They very nosey people with bone in their brain.”
The employees allegedly were required to pay exorbitant rent to live in barely furnished apartments that ensured that the workers did not make enough to repay their debt, purchase a plane ticket home or pay their own living expenses while in the United States. Sagdiyev caught these “evil nitwits” of Uzbekistan while out visiting Branson, MO on vacation.
