I can't help but to equate a guest worker program with slavery. Slavery ended a century ago. Since then coorporations have been searching for ways to find cheap labor. have they found it?

Its an injustice to Americans, and to any immigrant who REALLY wants a better life, for this "guest worker" program to be legal. The only people who need illegal workers are the people who are greedy and want all the money for themselves. The illegals from Mexico are not going to have it better here, all they will do is drive down the wages of everyone and sooner or later they would have to move on if they expected to make ends meet financially. If the government approves this, they will be telling the middle class to go F themselves.

it definitely is. substandard pay, long hours, ignoring the labor laws. Slavery is still very much alive but is given a less obvious name such as the guest worker program.
then again, the workers were not forced to come to the US to work and are free to walk away at any time. They are hard workers and should stay in their home countries where they at least have citizenship and can get the pay and benefits they deserve.

before everything, I agree, why is that this interior the RHH section? That being stated, prisons weren't created in 1790, in simple terms American ones. there have been prisons (in one sort or yet another) in view that civilisation began. i don't think of that right this moment's prisons are the equivalent of slavery. Slaves did not get television, get entry to to training, an excercise backyard/software, scientific care, perfect foodstuff, and RIGHTS. If a prisoner is denied any of those, his felony expert would be on the information championing his reason interior the widespread public eye. I disagree together with your comments approximately "crime not being the project, it extremely is a blend of poverty and absence of jobs" (I paraphrase). If someone (black, white, yellow, pink, even though) innovations up a gun and robs a 7-11 or kills somebody to get that persons ingredients/possessions, it extremely is a decision made by that person. it extremely is between the adjustments between a guy and an animal, the flexibility to decide on between perfect and incorrect. the huge detention center inhabitants interior the USA of a is by using the reality that it extremely is between the main heavily-populated international locations in the international. I wager in case you do slightly study you will discover we even have between the biggest concentration of legal experts, medical doctors, motor vehicle salesmen, mechanics, accountants, etc than maximum different international locations. this in simple terms isn't a fave remark. i might prefer to make sure the government come down lots extra good on criminals, and make it public as properly. A televised execution (returned, race isn't the project right here) might likely bypass an prolonged way as a deterrent to crime. in case you KNEW which you would be hung, electocuted, OD'd or in any different case finished in some vogue, might YOU %. up a knife and mug somebody?

YES--these workers must do EVERYTHING their boss requires of them, if they lose their jobs they have to go back home, in some places that can mean death, so wearing knee pads and working under the bosses desk is a slightly better fate. Slavery is slavery, always evil, and it must be stopped, EVERYWHERE.

No. They are not forced to come to the US to find work. They are hard workers and belong in Mexico, attending to the business of overthrowing their corrupt government and instituting a healthy, free-enterprise democratic-republic of their own.

Have you heard of sweatshops? That's slavery in a sense. Many companies outsource they that they can pay their workers next to nothing. Slavery was supposed to have ended- it just took a new name.

It sure is. Substandard pay. Ignoring labor laws (OSHA Safety Regulations, overtime laws, hours on the job, etc), no health insurance, retirement benes, etc. We are being sold a bill of goods and these poor people are being used.

Guest workers are free to come go as they please. They dislike the job they are free to walk away from it
