中国非法移民23 万
截至去年1月 全美总数1050万 每年约增41万人 分布区域越来越广

【本报华盛顿特派员林宝庆报导】美国国内安全部（DHS）移民统计办公室，18日公布了五年一度的非法移民人数估计报告，指出去年1月全美约有1050万非法移民，其中约有23万非法移民系来自中国；而以非法移民平均每年约增加40万8000人的数字估算，今年1月全美应约有1100万非法移民。值得注意的是，非法移民在美国各地的分布也越来越广。
DHS所估计的1100万这个数字，与最近数月各界引用的非法移民数字相符。
2000 年1月至2005年1月，估计的非法移民增加了204万人，平均每年约增加40万8000人。报告指出，约301万非法移民是 2000年及2000年後来美的。去年1月的1050万非法移民中，墨西哥人居首，约有597万人。来自中国的约有23万非法移民比2000年增加了4万人。
中国在美的非法移民人数排名第五，次於墨西哥、萨尔瓦多、瓜地马拉及印度。印度已超越中国，成为美国非法移民人数最多的亚洲国家。去年 1 月的印度非法移民有28万人。印度也是非法移民增加比率最大的国家，从2000年至2005年，成长了133%。非法移民成长第二快的是巴西，五年中来自巴西的非法移民增加了70%。
紧跟在中国後面的非法移民大国是韩国及菲律宾，各有21万非法移民。越南在美国有16万非法移民，排名第10。
移民统计办公室指出，该办公室是引用商务部人口局统计的外国出生人口数字2732万人，减掉国内安全部提供的合法移民人数1682万人，而得出1050万非法移民的数字。
计算是以1980年为起点，移民统计办公室假设1980年之前来美的外国出生者，皆为合法移民。
移民统计办公室上次的非法移民人数报告，是估计2000年的人口。2000年1月的非法移民约有846万人。
移民统计办公室的估计，与丕优(PEW)研究中心的调查结果类似。丕优稍早公布的数字指出，美国2005年3月共约有1110万非法移民。
华裔非法移民人数可信吗？
偷渡方法翻新 政府能否掌握 专家质疑
【本报记者邰彦纽约报导】国内安全部下属的移民统计处18日估计，全美到2005年1月为止，约有23万华裔非法移民，比2000年增加四万人。这一估算，令华人社区不敢信，也不敢不信。
按这项估算，从2000年到2005年间，每年增加八千名华人非法移民。有人认为，如果按华人社区传统移民模式估算，这个数字应该接近现实。
纽约福建公所常务副主席郑时甘认为，按社区自己的统计，这个数字比较可靠，仅福建人在美国就有10万非法移民。
他说，闽籍社区曾对没有身分的华人进行过统计，根据福建省地方政府对各乡、镇人口普查的结果来计算。按这一统计，到2005年，在美约有10万闽籍非法移民，合法移民则超过50万。
然而，学者对这个估算则不敢轻易相信。
多年来研究华裔移民问题的纽约市立大学杭特学院亚美研究学者邝治中表示，对非法移民的猜测实际上不可能有理想的结果。他说，近年来非法移民偷渡手段不断翻新，官方很难掌握线索，而且越来越多人合法入境、逾期居留，其中也有很多花样。
他对这个数字持保留态度。他举例说，根据司法部「移民审查行政办公室」刚推出的统计，2000年到2005年间，全美移民法官拒绝3万4093名中国人的政治庇护案，这只是此间申请政治庇护华人总数的53%，即这五年间至少有6万3964名华裔申请人。
邝治中指出，申请政治庇护的华人只是非法移民的一部分，很多人可能是非法却没有申请政治庇护。此外，还有很多不可能申请政治庇护的逾期居留者。

31 Arrested in Reputed Korean Sex-Slave Trafficking Along East Coast
By Allan Lengel
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, August 17, 2006; Page B08
Federal agents broke up a sex-slave trafficking ring along the East Coast that coerced Korean women into working as prostitutes in massage parlors and spas, some in upscale Washington neighborhoods such as Cleveland Park and Glover Park, authorities announced yesterday.
Agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the FBI arrested 31 people Tuesday, including 19 in New York and four in the District. They also raided 18 businesses, including one in Baltimore and five in Washington, three of them downtown.
In all, 23 Korean women in Washington and 44 in New York, Baltimore, New Haven, Conn., and Philadelphia were rounded up and interviewed to determine whether they were involuntarily part of the ring that forced some women into prostitution to pay off tens of thousands of dollars in fees for being smuggled into the United States, authorities said.
"This law enforcement operation successfully shut down an organization that cashed in human dignity for profit and greed," ICE Assistant Secretary Julie L. Myers said in a statement.
Federal indictments unsealed in New York yesterday provided a glimpse into the highly profitable world of prostitution and slavery, which in this case, authorities said, stretched from South Korea to points along the East Coast.
The charges, including conspiracy to engage in human trafficking and interstate transportation of women for the purpose of prostitution, resulted from hours of wiretapped conversations.
According to court documents, recruiters in South Korea and the United States arranged travel to the United States for Korean women interested in making money for their families.
The women were provided false immigration documents or were turned over to handlers in Canada or Mexico, who smuggled them into the country, the documents said.
Once they arrived in the United States, the women often were transported to Flushing, N.Y., where they were told they would have to work as prostitutes to offset their costs for being smuggled into the country, authorities said.
According to the indictments, five middlemen in Flushing took orders from the East Coast for Korean women and charged for procuring and delivering the women. The business operators often asked for specific physical attributes, and some in Washington said that some of the women were "too tall" or "not satisfactory," according to recorded conversations.
Owners took a big cut of the customers' fees and sent some of that money to South Korea to pay for the smuggling fees, authorities said.
Business operators often took away the women's identification and travel documents and led them to believe that they would be turned over to U.S. authorities or that their families would be harmed if they fled before paying off their outstanding smuggling fee.
The businesses raided in Washington included the OK Spa, 2428 Wisconsin Ave. NW; 14K Spa, 1413 K St. NW; Downtown Spa, 1018 Vermont Ave. NW; Royal Spa, 520 10th St. NW; and Cleveland Park Holistic Health, 3520 Connecticut Ave. NW. Attempts to reach the businesses by phone for comment were unsuccessful.
Massage parlor operators in Washington who were arrested Tuesday included Tae Nam Thompson, 56; Eun Ja Park, 38; Seng Hee Ryan, 33; and Young Hui Kim, age unknown. More arrests were expected, authorities said.
Investigators intercepted numerous phone conversations along the East Coast.
At the Downtown Spa in downtown Washington, the massage parlor operator told a middleman in New York that the workers "were tired because they served 15 customers the previous night" and "she only had six girls working at the time, but needed eight girls because she would get up to 70 customers on a weekend," according to court documents.
