What they mean is that they lure people from 3rd world countries, people to whom $8 sounds like a fortune, who are led to believe that they will be living the good life working in fancy hotels. On the website are stock photography photos of beautiful, smiling models in crisp, attractive uniforms waiting on elegant tables and tidying beautiful rooms. What they don't know is that they'll be living in poverty akin to what they endure in their home countries, and that on their $8 wage they will never be able to afford to go home again. Trapped. It wouldn't surprise me if some of them are forced into prostitution or drug dealing just to keep a roof over their heads.
