      Her life began in China, where she was called Song Yang and enjoyed picking ginseng and collecting butterflies. It ended in Queens, N.Y., where she called herself SiSi while toiling in the netherworld of illicit massage parlors.https://nyti.ms/2yFRrSe

      For years now, the Flushing section of Queens has been an ever-replenishing repository of immigrants entangled in the underground sex economy https://nyti.ms/2Cbi98I pic.twitter.com/xMGyz3CygI

      The police make sporadic sweeps, and immigrant women are arrested again and again, but few in the city take notice https://nyti.ms/2Cbi98I pic.twitter.com/qOty9U17j1

      Song Yang was one of these women. On a neon-charged November night, she plummeted 4 stories to the pavement she had so often worked. https://nyti.ms/2Cbi98I pic.twitter.com/QUEyVyVxB7

      Her death shattered a tight-knit family that would never accept the police version of events. It also reflected the seemingly intractable nature of policing the commercial sex trade.https://nyti.ms/2Cbi98I

          if you don’t want cops arresting prostitutes, then legalize prostitution. that makes too much sense for Liberals, doesn’t it?

          Now connect what @ICEgov is trying to do to prevent these kinds of tragic incidents, maybe it’s a start. Remove politics out of it, you will see clearly,
