38. No they don't
The legal ones sign contracts with labor traders. They end up in substandard housing and some have reported the money that was deducted to be sent to their families was never sent. That is LEGAL workers, like a guest worker program would bring in. Desperate illegals don't have any sense of our labor laws, that's just ridiculous.

Besides, here is what I said. I said blaming the immigrant for the economic system they're caught in, which is what you just did, is equivalent to blaming the slave for slavery. I didn't say slavery was totally equal to being an undocumented worker.

"Attacking the immigrant is the equivalent to attacking a slave, they didn't create the plantation system any more than the immigrant created the illegal employment system."
