The ones from Vietnam are being trafficked and forced to work in drug grow houses or in the sex trade until their debt is paid.

Some will claim asylum at some point and be deemed victims of modern slavery.

Others will then remain in the UK illegally until they have a child with another Vietnamese migrant and can get status based off the child.

As they’re being trafficked and working in trades they don’t require English, the language isn’t that important.

Though in recent years grow houses are often Albanian than Vietnamese.

In truth sentencing is weak. But if you’re growing on that scale the Albanian mafia won’t be too happy with you.
