Reply #8: We understand that.

I live in a part of Florida that a worker and his family cannot move to, unless you moved here 25 years ago.

As a result, there is a severe worker shortage. It is an area of tourism, at least for now, and workers are needed.

So, the big companies in development started bringing in Hondurans and Guatemalans to work for the minimum wage, 48 to 60 hours a week, straight time.

They cannot sign their names on the paycheck, and are non-English speaking, usually run by a boss who can speak some English. But, they are not stupid.

Severe Labour Shortage = Offers of Better Pay and Conditions. So, they took their false papers and moved on.

Now, the RW Multi million Corporations went Wa-ah, Wa-ah, wa-ah all the way to the INS. It really got to be a he said-she said type of confrontation. "They stole my illegal aliens--What are you doing with illegal aliens, yadda, yadda, yadda, blah blah blah."

The INS finally ruled that if the illegal aliens were not doing anything illegal, they'd leave them along.

Ol' Copperhead Tex's bill would restore the indentured servitude that the big companies have relied on. The big corporations would get the work visas and if a worker tried to leave them, then they could have the new employer and the worker prosecuted. It's really called slavery. And it must be okay, it's in the Old Testament.
