Illegal Aliens are they America's New Slaves?

I don't think most of you understand the question, I'll explain further, It's not about you!
It's about how Corp America is using illegal aliens as a way of cheap labor, and will threaten to report the persons to immigration if they try to defy them. Hence a way of being owned. If you hire an Illegal you are paying them a cheaper wage, enough to sustain, Hence slave owners provided housing and food instead of wages... As I said new slaves meaning new twist on slavery! There are different types of Slavery!

Answer 1

I don't own any Illegal aliens either. Damn when I went to get that bottle of water did I miss out, was someone handing out free illegal aliens?

Answer 2

Illegal aliens are not slaves. They are, however, trespassers. This makes them, and their employers, lawbreakers.

It's getting pretty stale with the rant against "Corporate America" as though business is somehow an evil entity. If it weren't for Corporate America, you wouldn't have a job and you wouldn't have the luxury of spending time on the internet with a computer you bought from Corporate America. All monies trickle down. Big business relies on medium business which relies on small business.
There is a very real issue of corporate welfare, though. Nobody is forced to do any job in America. You are free to improve yourself if you have the fortitude to make the necessary sacrifices to improve yourself.

Illegals, on the other hand, should live in fear of deportation. They should be aware of that risk before they choose to sneak across our border.

Answer 3

No this isn't a Slavery issue because #1 they are here illegal and shouldn't be here in the first place and the reason they work the jobs no one else want's to is because they are illegal and if they got a good job they would be caught and sent back to Mexico. The only reason they fear us is because of being here illegal.

Answer 4

well, when I think about slavery, I think about someone being coerced into servitude, against their will...

Not about someone risking their lives to come and work, even illegally for a chance at a better life.
However, I understand your point. By paying menial wages, we are keeping them supressed. However, even if you or I were doing those jobs, we wouldn't get paid much either. While it'd be a minimum wage, we'd probably quit because it is hard to survive, raise a family, or get ahead on near-min. and min. wage employment.
However, I still never bought into the whole 'new slavery' idea. More like you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours...Just don't tell anyone I'm here scratching.

Answer 5

Slaves do not get paid, they have no choice of where they are, they have no choice of their out come,
Mexicans came here of free will, to become criminals, illegals criminals.
I have been saying for years that we need to do a Constitutional amendment. We the People need to demand that a amendment to the Constitution states that if your here illegal, You or a born child on our soil can not become a citizen, you can receive no health care, medical supplies, welfare, or any other item that comes free to U.S. citizens, as well as stating that Illegals have no rights under the Constitution as to legal counsel, trail to stay here, or anything that can delay them in our country, just that they will be deported ASAP, to the farthest point in their own country, also in this amendment it will punish employers for hireling with harsh fines, putting owners and CEOs in jail for years requiring them to pay the lost taxes on illegals, lost SS, lost medical collected, lost school fees for teachers, etc., just keep piling on the fees and punishment.
If there are no jobs why would an illegal come here? If there are no jobs, free things for them to steal, no gift citizenship, no schools, no medical then they would go home.
We let in some 1 million legal aliens a year that take years to apply and come, why should We the People just give criminals (illegals) citizenship or any other thing we paid for all our life?

Here the sites you need as We the People to contact your Congressman and demand that this type law is done now, not years from now. Threaten to get this out in your area, to vote them out, etc…

Answer 6

There is a quick fix to the problem. Get out of Dodge and go back to Mexico. And let Corporate America go to Hell. I can't imagine how The United States got along without you
I would gladly run the risk of giving it a go.

Bye Bye

Answer 7

you have it backwards the American people are the slaves to the illegals they do not have to communicate with us we have to communicate with them or the American people have to pay for an interpreter where is the money coming from for there health care dental food housing so on so fourth we the American people pay taxes and taxes and taxes. our elderly can"t afford health care a lot of family's struggle to get help with health matters prescriptions. If you are illegal our government hands over anything. I thought that over carefully

Answer 8

1.) Slaves from Africa wasn't Paid and didn't come here by free will.
2.) i don't own any illegal aliens "own belong property that what a slave was back then.
3.) illegals have a option to go home anytime, run away slaves was hunted down they didn't have a chocie to go home anytime.
4.) Pay cheap bigger profits

Answer 9

You can't go as far as saying they are slaves, but you can say that they are in a position of being taken advantage of.

I would agree with you that Corporate America sure likes it that way.

Answer 10

slaves are not payed and are forced to work for just food and housing .... they are forced to come .. we never asked for illegal aliens to come and steal our jobs we ARE willing to work ... if they have fear of being deported that's their problem they should have come in the right way ... and you are a stupid idiot ..
